brainlife.io

brainlife.io is a platform that allows publishing reproducible code and datasets. The platform provides seamless access to national supercomputers, private clouds, and institutional high-performance computer systems. The goals of the platform are to promote data sharing in exchange for high-throughput computing and to contribute upcycling the long tail of neuroimaging data. To do so, brainlife.io makes available data and analyses software to pursuit gathering diverse neuroimaging datasets and redistribute them across multiple research communities such as psychology, engineering, computer science, and neuroscience. Brainlife.io combines modern web visualization, and database technologies as well as network neuroscience and image processing algorithms into a unique online platform.

User Friendly Functional Connectivity - UF²C

UF²C is an open source software developed at the Neuroimaging Laboratory at Unicamp that aims to simplify and organize functional studies in neuroimaging through clean and validated methodologies. The graphical user interface makes the processing and analysis options accessible for neuroscientists, with reasonable choices of default settings. UF²C allows the user to study functional connectivity both through a quantitative view that provides detailed values of average connectivity and through a spatial view that provides statistical maps that can be directly used for further analyses. All results are carefully organized in a distinct folder for each subject, and a common folder is generated with a log file reporting the quantitative results of all the analyzed subjects. Several UF²C modalities and tools runs combined with Statistical Parametric Mapping functions. Coordinator and developer Brunno M. de Campos, Ph.D. Collaborator Developer Raphael Fernandes Casseb, Ph.D.

ONPRC Fetal Macaque Brain Atlas

This is a multi-modal MRI (T2W and DTI) brain templates of fetal monkeys with atlas labels at three key time points over the second and third trimesters of the 168 day gestational term.. Specifically, template images are constructed for brains at gestational ages of 85 days (G85, N=18, 9 females), 110 days (G110, N=10, 7 females) and 135 days (G135, N=16, 7 females). T2W templates were able to characterize the development of fetal tissue zones and gyrification in cerebral cortex and DTI templates were able to infer the morphogenesis of cortical neurons and maturation of white matter tracts.
