Apr 24, 2026

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to develop new machine learning approaches for the analysis of large-scale extracellular recordings. The position is part of a wider effort to enable new discoveries with state-of-the-art electrode arrays and recording devices, and jointly supervised by Matthias Hennig and Matt Nolan. It offers a great opportunity to work with theoretical and experimental neuroscientists innovating open source tools and software for systems neuroscience.

Toward an open science ecosystem for neuroimaging

Russ Poldrack
Stanford
Dec 8, 2022

It is now widely accepted that openness and transparency are keys to improving the reproducibility of scientific research, but many challenges remain to adoption of these practices. I will discuss the growth of an ecosystem for open science within the field of neuroimaging, focusing on platforms for open data sharing and open source tools for reproducible data analysis. I will also discuss the role of the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), a community standard for data organization, in enabling this open science ecosystem, and will outline the scientific impacts of these resources.

Open Neuroscience: Challenging scientific barriers with Open Source & Open Science tools

André Maia Chagas
University of Sussex
May 12, 2020

The Open Science movement advocates for more transparent, equitable and reliable science. It focusses on improving existing infrastructures and spans all aspects of the scientific process, from implementing systems that reward pre-registering studies and guarantee their publication, all the way to making research data citable and freely available. In this context, open source tools (and the development ethos supporting them) are becoming more and more present in academic labs, as researchers are realizing that they can improve the quality of their work, while cutting costs. In this talk an overview of OS tools for neuroscience will be given, with a focus on software and hardware, and how their use can bring scientific independence and make research evolve faster.
