We gave a tutorial on @nwb.org and DANDI at @cosynemeeting.bsky.social this year. If you couldn't make it (or want a refresher), the full recording is up on YouTube. Covers everything from data standardization to finding and reusing public neurophysiology datasets on DANDI.

Mission: record hippocampal place cells in zero gravity
Crew: 3 rats with electrode arrays
Vehicle: Space Shuttle Columbia
Status: data now publicly available on DANDI, 28 years later
The ratstronauts' mission is finally complete. ππ h/t NASA

Yes, AmadeusGPT is a great example of the kinds of structure that can make these LLMs truly useful for science
Thrilled to publish this in @thetransmitter.bsky.social - such a thoughtful platform for the conversations neuroscience needs to be having about AI, open science, and the future of our field.
NWB just turned 10 years old! Researchers worldwide have downloaded 1.9 PB of NWB data from @dandiarchive.org. This animation shows the reach of NWB, facilitating collaboration across the globe. What impact has open neurophysiology data had on your science? Share your stories! π§
@openscience
My first piece with @thetransmitter.bsky.social is out! Open data is transforming neuroscienceβ350+ datasets on
@dandiarchive.org in @nwb.org, new tools like Neurosift enabling discovery and analysis, and researchers all over the world discovering new insights using open data as a key resource!
Inspired by Max Bennett's Cosyne keynote, I just finished his book, "A Brief History of Intelligence." A wonderful read bringing together diverse fields into one cohesive story - highly recommend to neuroscientists, AI researchers, and anyone interested in the nature of intelligence.
Just wrapped Neurobio In Changing Environments 2025 at alleninstitute.bsky.social. Talked to some impressive and diverse neuroecologists about @nwb.org and @dandiarchive.org, and about how we can advance open science! Thanks to my co-panelists @sejdevries.bsky.social and Rachel Parkinson!
Hello from Montreal! Thanks to everyone who attended our NWB and @dandiarchive.org workshop at #cosyne2025 and to our guest tool presenters. What a great start to the conference!
Last call to apply for NeuroDataReHack 2025! Join us at Janelia and learn how to use existing open neurophysiology data on @dandiarchive.org, plus opportunity to apply for the $50k Kavli Neurodata Discovery Award! Free attendance and lodging!
