Distributed Archives for Neurophysiology Data Integration (DANDI Archive)
The US BRAIN Initiative archive for publishing and sharing neurophysiology data including electrophysiology, optophysiology, and behavioral time-series, and images from immunostaining experiments.
Repository Scope
Research Areas
Life Sciences; Neurosciences; Medicine;
Data Types
Experimental; Observational; Code; Survey; Text; Tabular; Synthetic/Simulation; Geospatial; Audio; Video; Image; Genomic/Molecular; Biomedical; 3D Models; Machine learning;
Data Types Encouraged/Permitted
For cellular neurophysiology, such as electrophysiology and optical physiology, use Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) For neuroimaging data, such as MRI, use Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) (They provide methods to convert data to these two standards). The archive accepts cellular neurophysiology data including electrophysiology, optophysiology, and behavioral time-series, and images from immunostaining experiments and other associated data (e.g. participant information, MRI or other modalities). Data formats: NWB (HDF5), BIDS (NIfTI, JSON, PNG, TIF, OME.TIF, OME.BTF, OME.ZARR)
Data Types Explicitly Prohibited
No information on prohibited information but all data has to be converted to NWB or BIDS standards (see data standards). Content must not violate privacy or copyright, or breach confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements for data collected from human subjects.
