The neuroscience social network project

Published: 19 November 2013 Publication History

Abstract

Recent advances in neuroimaging over the last 15 years leaded to an explosion of knowledge in neuroscience and to the emergence of international projects and consortiums. Integration of existing knowledge as well as efficient communication between scientists are now challenging issues into the understanding of such a complex subject [Yarkoni et al., 2010]. Several Internet based tools are now available to provide databases and meta-analysis of published results (Neurosynth, Braimap, NIF, SumsDB, OpenfMRI...). These projects are aimed to provide access to activation maps and/or peak coordinates associated to semantic descriptors (cerebral mechanism, cognitive tasks, experimental stimuli...). However, these interfaces suffer from a lack of interactivity and do not allow real-time exchange of data and knowledge between authors. Moreover, classical modes of scientific communication (articles, meetings, lectures...) do not allow to create an active and updated view of the field for members of a specific community (large scientific structure, international work group...). In this view, we propose here to develop an interface designed to provide a direct mapping between neuroscientific knowledge and 3D brain anatomical space.
