Centre for Analytics

Leading neuroanalytic data innovation

OBI’s Centre for Analytics will accelerate the development of skills in neuroanalytics and support innovation and translation of innovative analytical and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) methods that make use of the multi-modal data across brain disorders. With this multi-faceted approach, the CfA aims to increase our capacity to create disruptive technologies that better detect, predict, and treat neurological conditions such as brain injuries, mental health, neurodevelopment disorders, dementia, and more.

In support of Ontario’s emerging need for neuroanalytics leadership, the CfA is positioned to:

  • Upskill

    the next generation of neuro data scientists by funding placements, creating training materials, and facilitating collaboration

  • Accelerate

    access to high quality data and cloud computing at scale while creating a community focused on innovative yet ethical analytics and AI practices

  • Translate

    neuroanalytical methods by facilitating their validation and commercialization in a privacy and regulatory compliant way

Inaugural analytics initiatives are already leveraging CfA resources and expertise, including data on Brain-CODE, OBI’s state-of-the-art neuroinformatics platform, and new cloud computing platform that provides advanced computing capabilities and analytical tooling.

3D mapping the brain

A team at Cove Neurosciences, led by Dr. Nardin Samuel, is modelling multi-modal brain imaging data on Brain-CODE to better understand neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism and attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder.

Modeling with epilepsy seizure data

The Muller Lab at Western University is developing biologically realistic spiking neural network models to create testable predictions for epilepsy seizure data and lead to new methods for controlling seizure states.
