      • Title: 1st INCF Workshop on Development of a Community-Based Neuroscience Encyclopedia
        Goal: The aim for this encyclopedia is to provide a semantically organized forum that is built on the latest appropriate technologies and resources for the neuroscience community to develop and maintain ontologies with clear definitions and links to relevant literature, data, models and other resources.
        UC San Diego, US, February 13-14, 2012

    • Title: INCF Program on MSM Workshop: From Cellular/Network Models to Tissue Simulation
      Goal:       The aim of this workshop was to assess the current state of the field and available software infrastructure for tissue modeling from within the field of neuroscience and other fields in order to broadly define an outline of the development needed. The INCF will take the recommendations of this workshop to determine the need for subsequent actions and follow-up workshops, in order to direct future activities within the MSM Program, including the formation of new Program task force(s) as needed.
      Stockholm, Sweden, May 31 - June 1, 2012

  • Title: INCF Workshop on Multiscale Data Integration for Neuroinformatics
    Goal: Whole brain data is increasingly being captured across scales from gene expression to activity during behavior. Making use of this data to understand brain structure and function requires careful annotation and management to facilitate its integration. This workshop will provide the opportunity to share techniques and experiences from research groups working on whole brain data integration and modeling in different species. This includes issues including metadata annotation, standard vocabularies and ontologies, reference coordinate spaces and methods for performing analysis and data integration of large multiscale datasets. The outcome will help set the agenda for key developments in required standards and technologies to facilitate the integration of data in the fly, rodent and human brains.

  • Title: 1st INCF Workshop on Validation of Data-Analysis Methods
    Goal: Using tested and proven methods and algorithms for data analysis is an essential prerequisite for reproducible research. For many types of data analysis in neuroscience, however, there are no established measures or test data for quality assessment and comparison of methods. 
    The motivation for this workshop has come out of an on-going project on validation of spike-sorting methods that involves several INCF Nodes. Here a website tailored to facilitate testing of automatic spike-sorting algorithms, and thus stimulate collaboration between algorithm developers and providers of test data, has recently been established at G-Node, the German Node of the INCF (background; website).
    The need for validation of data analysis methods obviously goes beyond spike sorting of electrode data. In this two-day workshop, we will investigate the needs for similar concerted efforts to address validation of other analysis methods for other types of data.

  • Title: INCF Canadian Neuroinformatics Workshop
    A satellite Symposium of the CAN 2012 Meeting
    Goal    : The aim of the workshop was to help build the Canada neuroinformatics community, enabling Canadian scientists from diverse neuroinformatics-related fields to gather, exchange knowledge and discuss whether there was community desire for Canada to join the INCF.
    Vancuver, Canada, May 2012

    • Title: INCF Lithuanian Workshop on Neuroscience and Information Technology
      Goal: The aim of this workshop was to discuss the strategies for forming the Lithuanian Neuroinformatics Node and becoming a member of INCF. The workshop was organized by Dr. Aušra Saudargiene (Department of Informatics, Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, and Faculty of Natural Sciences, Vilnius University, Lithuania) and INCF.
      Kaunas, Lithuania, February 2012

  • Title: 1st INCF Workshop on Cyberinfrastructure for neuroinformatics
    Goal: INCF recently started efforts to establish a cyberinfrastructure for neuroinformatics, including federated filesystems and object models for sharing neuroscientific data, and standards for workflows. The goal of this workshop is to discuss the development of an international federated dataspace for large-scale heterogeneous data.

  • Title: 2nd and 3rd INCF Workshops on Needs for Training in Neuroinformatics: Extended and Short Course Provision
    Theme: What are the issues arising when providing extended and short courses in neuroinformatics? How could the INCF facilitate training ?
    In Workshop 2, delegates concentrated on developing the list of subject areas where neuroinformatics training is needed. In Workshop 3, there was discussion on both the stumbling blocks encountered when designing and running short courses and what new short courses are required. Ways in which INCF can be involved were identified, and specific recommendations on the coordination of existing material, validation of courses and funding of short training workshops were colllected and listed in this report.

  • Title: 1st INCF Workshop on Time-Series Data: Analysis and Management
    Goal: Given the tremendous technical progress in the acquisition of electrophysiological and other time series data, there is growing need for new and advanced methods to analyze, manage, and share these data. This workshop focused on the exploration of existing and upcoming standards, including data formats and best practices. It sought to identify challenges and discuss possible solutions, and will provide a report with recommendations to the INCF.
