Is Neuroscience FAIR? A Call for Collaborative Standardisation of Neuroscience Data.

Neuroinformatics | 2022

In this perspective article, we consider the critical issue of data and other research object standardisation and, specifically, how international collaboration, and organizations such as the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) can encourage that emerging neuroscience data be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). As neuroscientists engaged in the sharing and integration of multi-modal and multiscale data, we see the current insufficiency of standards as a major impediment in the Interoperability and Reusability of research results. We call for increased international collaborative standardisation of neuroscience data to foster integration and efficient reuse of research objects.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


Distributed Archives for Neurophysiology Data Integration (tool)

RRID:SCR_017571

DANDI is a platform for publishing, sharing, and processing neurophysiology data funded by the BRAIN Initiative. The archive is not just an endpoint to dump data, it is intended as a living repository that enables collaboration within and across labs, and for others, the entry point for research.

Human Brain Project EU (tool)

RRID:SCR_002241

Global, collaborative effort for neuroscience, medicine and computing to understand brain, its diseases and its computational capabilities. Goal is to obtain access to research, data sources, platforms and infrastructures offered by other organisations, and enabling organizations outside HBP to use HBP platforms to pursue their own research. Coordinating these activities is the responsibility of the European Research Programme.

International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (tool)

RRID:SCR_002282

Independent international facilitator catalyzing and coordinating global development of neuroinformatics aiming to advance data reuse and reproducibility in global brain research. Integrates and analyzes diverse data across scales, techniques, and species to understand brain function and positively impact the health and well being of society.

ENIGMA: Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics Through Meta-Analysis (tool)

RRID:SCR_005515

Network that brings together researchers in imaging genomics, to understand brain structure and function, based on MRI, DTI, fMRI and genomewide association scan (GWAS) data. The ENIGMA Network has several goals: * to create a network of like-minded individuals, interested in pushing forward the field of imaging genetics * to ensure promising findings are replicated via member collaborations, in order to satisfy the mandates of most journals * to share ideas, algorithms, data, and information on promising findings or methods * to facilitate training, including workshops and conferences on key methods and emerging directions in imaging genetics. Data sharing with other members of the ENIGMA Network is optional and by no means a requirement of joining the network. Genetics and Imaging Protocols are available.

Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDs) (tool)

RRID:SCR_016124

Standard specification for organizing and describing outputs of neuroimaging experiments. Used to organize and describe neuroimaging and behavioral data by neuroscientific community as standard to organize and share data. BIDS prescribes file naming conventions and folder structure to store data in set of already existing file formats. Provides standardized templates to store associated metadata in form of Javascript Object Notation (JSON) and tab-separated value (TSV) files. Facilitates data sharing, metadata querying, and enables automatic data analysis pipelines. System to curate, aggregate, and annotate neuroimaging databases. Intended for magnetic resonance imaging data, magnetoencephalography data, electroencephalography data, and intracranial encephalography data.
