Harnessing Big Data in Neuroscience: From Mapping Brain Connectivity to Predicting Traumatic Brain Injury

Franco Pestilli
University of Texas, Austin, USA
May 13, 2025

Neuroscience is experiencing unprecedented growth in dataset size both within individual brains and across populations. Large-scale, multimodal datasets are transforming our understanding of brain structure and function, creating opportunities to address previously unexplored questions. However, managing this increasing data volume requires new training and technology approaches. Modern data technologies are reshaping neuroscience by enabling researchers to tackle complex questions within a Ph.D. or postdoctoral timeframe. I will discuss cloud-based platforms such as brainlife.io, that provide scalable, reproducible, and accessible computational infrastructure. Modern data technology can democratize neuroscience, accelerate discovery and foster scientific transparency and collaboration. Concrete examples will illustrate how these technologies can be applied to mapping brain connectivity, studying human learning and development, and developing predictive models for traumatic brain injury (TBI). By integrating cloud computing and scalable data-sharing frameworks, neuroscience can become more impactful, inclusive, and data-driven..

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.
