An integrated set of tools for measuring cognitive, emotional, motor and sensory function. These tools are being validated for use in diverse cultures, ethnic and geographic groups, ages (3-85 years) and study types. The toolbox is expected to provide a more complete picture of neurological and behavioral health in large-scale longitudinal studies, epidemiological studies, and clinical trials; and to facilitate cross-study comparisons. Moreover, the toolbox will: * be minimally burdensome to subjects and investigators, * utilize state-of-the art psychometric approaches and technology, including computer-assisted evaluation, and * be dynamic and adaptable to changes in measurement and technology. * be available in English and Spanish Many clinical studies collect data on aspects of neurological and behavioral function. However, the neurological and behavioral tests currently available to researchers lack uniformity and often require specialized training to administer. These limitations make it difficult to compile data across the full range of normal neurological function, and to compare data across studies. The toolbox is royalty-free and is expected to be available online by summer 2012.

A database of volumetric MRI brain-scans of 46 Alzheimer's sufferers and 23 healthy elderly people. Many scans were collected of each participant at intervals from 2 weeks to 2 years, the study was designed to investigate the feasibility of using MRI as an outcome measure for clinical trials of Alzheimer's treatments. It includes a total of 708 scans and should be of particular interest for work on longitudinal biomarkers and image analysis.

Realistic simulated MEG datasets ranging from basic sensory to oscillatory sets that mimic functional connectivity; as well as basic visual, auditory, and somatosensory empirical sets. The simulated sets were created for the purpose of testing analysis algorithms across the different MEG systems when the truth is known. MEG baseline recordings were obtained from 5 healthy participants, using three MEG systems: VSM/CTF Omega, Elekta Neuromag Vectorview, 4-D Magnes 3600. Simulated signals were embedded within the CTF and Neuromag 306 baseline recordings (4-D to be added). Participant MRIs are available. Averaged simulation files are available as netcdf files. Neuromag 306 averaged simulations are also available in fif format. Also available: single trials of data where the simulated signal is jittered about a mean value, continuous fif files where the simulated signal is marked by a trigger, and simulations with oscillations added to mimic functional connectivity.

MCML is a Monte Carlo simulation program for Multi-layered Turbid Media with an infinitely narrow photon beam as the light source. The simulation is specified by an input text file called, for example, sample.mci, which can be modified by any simple text editor. The output is another text file called, for example, sample.mco. (The names are arbitrary.) CONV is a convolution program which uses the MCML output file to convolve for photon beams of any size in a Gaussian or flat field shape. CONV can provide a variety of output formats (reflectance, transmission, iso-fluence contours, etc.), which are compatible with standard graphics applications.

Database providing access to information about transmembrane proteins that exist under different conformations, with three primary subfamilies: the cys-loop superfamily, the ATP gated channels superfamily, and the glutamate activated cationic channels superfamily. Due to the lack of evolutionary relationship, these three superfamilies are treated separately. It currently contains 554 entries of ligand-activated ion channel subunits. In this database one may find: the nucleic and proteic sequences of the subunits. Multiple sequence alignments can be generated, and some phylogenetic studies of the superfamilies are provided. Additionally, the atomic coordinates of subunits, or portion of subunits, are provided when available. Redundancy is kept to a minimum, i.e. one entry per gene. Each entry in the database has been manually constructed and checked by a researcher of the field in order to reduce the inaccuracies to a minimum. NOTE: This database is not actively maintained anymore. People should not consider it as an up-to-date trustable resource. For any new work, they should consider using alternative sources, such as UniProt, Ensembl, Protein Databank etc.

Training material created for both current R users, and experienced users of other statistical packages (e.g., SAS, SPSS, Stata) who would like to transition to R to help you quickly access this language in your work. The book inspired by this site takes the material here and significantly expands upon it.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on April 26, 2011. Neurons are characterized in terms of their morphological, physiological and gene expression profiles. Synaptic connections are characterized in terms of their physiological and anatomical profiles. Neuron morphology profiles are obtained from detailed morphometric breakdown of 3D reconstructed neurons (m-Profiles), neuron physiology profiles are obtained from detailed measurement of the electrophysiological responses to a series of stimulus protocols (e-Profiles), and neuron gene expression profiles are obtained from single cell RT-PCR data (g-Profiles) and in the near future from gene-chips. Synaptic connections are characterized by the identity of the pre and postsynaptic neurons (sn-Profile), the anatomy of synaptic connections as characterized by the axonal and dendritic location of light microscopically identified putative synapses (sm-Profile), and the physiology of synaptic connections as characterized by a profile of electrophysiological parameters obtained from a series of stimulation protocols applied to the presynaptic neuron (se-Profile).

Software that provides guidelines for the whole process of metabolomic data interpretation, from data pre-processing, to dataset exploration and visualization, to identification of potentially interesting metabolites. Guidelines outline the following processes: preprocessing of high-throughput data (normalization and scalings); principal component analysis with help tool for choosing best-separating principal components and automatic testing for outliers; automatic univariate analysis for parametric and non-parametric data, with generation of specific reports (volcano and box plots); partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA); orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA); Statistical Total Correlation Spectroscopy (STOCSY); and Ratio Analysis Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy (RANSY).

A complete browse and visualization tool for all types of paleoclimate and paleoecological data (Version 1.0 for Windows 3.1 and the Macintosh). Point and click to create queries, list site information, display or plot variables and data, or export the data for further processing and analysis. Note: PaleoVu is no longer maintained or supported. Data content is not being updated, and compatibility problems may exist with newer operating systems. PaleoVu is still suitable as a teaching tool, but our internet-based browsing tools are the most up to date source for paleoclimatic data.

This group aims to define a "rhetorical structure" for scientific papers, to use in authoring or mark-up tools. They are trying to come to a definition of such a format; have an intermediary proposal of their own and are beginning to make an overview of existing publisher's proposals. Objectives *O1: Study and develop a model -- set of elements -- (a core model plus additional domain-specific modules), that capture the rhetorical aspects of scientific publications at different granular levels. *O2: In the long run, integrate the developed model in different environments to improve the authoring, retrieving and browsing user experience. *O3: Make a mocked up annotated document collection using this element set for each use case. *O4: Disseminate these models and document systems to the rest of the W3C and the community at large.
