We are happy to announce that INCF has been accepted to serve as a mentor organization in Google Summer of Code 2025 (GSoC) for the 15th year running!

INCF will apply to be a mentor organization in Google Summer of Code for the 15th time running. Want to join us?
We are now calling for open source software development project ideas with some sort of neuro connection - fixes or extensions to big/broadly applicable or small/niche tools used by neuroscience researchers, efforts and initiatives in the broad field of computational neuroscience.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re raising money to keep our training resources open and free to the global neuroscience community. Your gift will enable us to support open science for the global neuroscience community, leading to breakthroughs in our understanding and treatment of the human brain.

INCF is proud to announce that Damion Demeter,a Postdoctoral Scholar at UCSD, has been hired as the technical writer for the INCF Google Season of Docs project.

One of our main missions at INCF is to champion the core tenets of FAIR neuroscience and one project that has particularly caught our attention in such efforts is the web-based data analysis environment Neurodesk (neurodesk.org), which emphasizes portability and reproducibility in neuroimaging analysis.

INCF is proud to announce InterLex as the newest addition to our Infrastructure Portfolio. InterLex models terms using primitives of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and can export directly to a variety of standard ontology formats.

INCF is happy to announce a new addition to our Infrastructure Portfolio, the Open Data Commons for Traumatic Brain Injury (ODC-TBI). With almost 200 datasets and 16 DOIs from over 100 labs, ODC-TBI is a data-sharing portal and repository for traumatic brain injury (TBI) data.

A recent editorial in Nature magazine about harmonizing between the large international brain initiatives stated that “Several of the projects are using similar or identical technologies. It makes sense for the teams to liaise more closely, at the very least to begin a discussion on how to establish shared data standards, which they have not yet done.”

Our portal is newly stocked with a multitude of resources to researchers who are in need of guidance and knowledge around the fundamentals of data sharing and data management.

A recent paper in Scientific Data describes ASL-BIDS, the extension of BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure) for arterial spin labeling.  BIDS is a versatile standard for diverse types of neuroimaging data, originating from the INCF Taskforce for Neuroimaging Data Sharing and endorsed by INCF as a standard in 2018.
