Workshop with Jean-Baptiste Poline “Harmonizing, standardizing, and sharing data: challenges and practices”


When?December 13 2024, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Where?: Saint Charles campus, building 9, room Phy51
Why?: Jean-Baptiste has been developing biostatistical methods for handling and analysing neuroscience data for nearly 30 years. He is a strong advocate and pioneer in data sharing, having contributed to the development of several tools in this field for fMRI and more (e.g., BIDS format or more recently neurobagel and nipoppy*). He will share his insights and experience on both the conceptual and practical aspects of managing neuroscience databases at various scales.
How?: We plan to structure the  workshop in three parts:

  1. An interactive introduction to present the interests, challenges, constraints, barriers, and opportunities of data sharing.
  2. A demonstration using a real dataset.
  3. A more hands-on session for those who want to stay and gain practical experience using their own data set on their own computer.

Who should attend?: Anyone interested in learning more or discussing the structuring and use of databases, as well as gaining practical experience with various tools.

*Notes:

  • nipoppy is an extension of BIDS for organizing your data and processing locally,
  • neurobagel allows you to discover or share data across labs/institutions and create cohorts (already adopted by OpenNeuro). In the future, it will enable distributed analyses, which is important due to GDPR regulations.
