Launch of new OBI tools catalogue

3 octobre 2022

The Ontario Brain Institute is pleased to announce the release of the OBI neuroscience software tools catalogue. This new resource is designed to benefit the provincial, national, and international neuroscience data and analytics communities.

"Over the past 4 months we met with the community across the OBI Integrated Discovery Programs (IDPs) to learn about the tools used across their disciplines with respect to data collection, data curation, and data analysis. So far, we have captured over 190 tools including: 59 MRI tools, 28 EEG tools, 23 DTI tools, 33 clinical tools and packages, 46 molecular tools, 4 eye-tracking tools, 2 wearable tools, and ear-marked upcoming retinal imaging tools. Stay tuned for the latter!"

Said Dr. Kirk Nylen, OBI's Deputy Scientific Director: "We hope this catalogue can help scientists and engineers discover software that can benefit their own research and development to ultimately help advance our understanding of the brain and its related disorders."

Users of the neuroscience software tools catalogue are encouraged to submit feedback via an online form.

OBI will continue to update this catalogue and would greatly appreciate suggestions and comments to maintain the current list as well as to expand it to include other modalities.

We would like to thank everyone across the IDPs who’ve helped with the creation of this catalogue. A special thank you to Brian Wu who spearheaded this project during his internship at OBI. This effort was also made possible with the financial support from the Government of Ontario and Roche Canada, who we would like to acknowledge."
