The Open Data in Neuroscience Initiative at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT promotes open, collaborative neuroscience by building a robust data-sharing ecosystem. We support platforms and tools for sharing, analyzing, and interpreting neuroscience data, aligned with other open data efforts and federally funded projects.

We partner with initiatives like DANDI, the BRAIN Initiative Cell Atlas Network, and BRAIN CONNECTS to make data sharing standard practice. Our focus is on sustainable and inclusive to advance understanding of the brain.

We encourage the development of toolkits that integrate open data archives, ML/AI models, and best practices to enhance research rigor and reproducibility. These resources are designed for classrooms and labs alike and are supported by symposiums and workshops that foster interdisciplinary exchange.

Join us in accelerating neuroscience through openness, collaboration, and innovation.
