The 1st NeuroJSON Open-Data Workshop/Hackathon Registration Form
We are building a new generation of neuroimaging data sharing platform at NeuroJSON.io - that is designed to be easy-to-use, scalable to large datasets, searchable, and human-readable for long-term reusability. Our database already curated over 1000 high-quality BIDS-compatible imaging datasets with over 44000 subjects. You can instantly access tens of thousands of MRI/EEG scans directly using the REST-API provided by our NoSQL database, or search across all metadata within a fraction of a second.

We are eager to share with you all the awesome functionalities that we have developed under this NIH-funded U24 project. 

On the first day (July 1) of the workshop, we will give you hands-on tutorials with topics covering
  1. using the web interface for browsing, searching, rendering neuroimaging datasets in your browser
  2. dynamically accessing/downloading imaging data files on-demand in MATLAB and Python
  3. efficiently reading/writing JSON-based scientific data formats
  4. using REST API to access NeuroJSON.io data archive for automation/streamlined data processing,
  5. converting your own free datasets to be disseminated via our NoSQL database platform
In our hackathon on the 2nd day (July 2), NeuroJSON developers will guide users step-by-step to perform one, or both of the following activities
  1. converting one of the public imaging datasets produced by your lab (associated with a paper or standalone) and uploading to NeuroJSON.io (must be the copyright owner or have the permission to do so, can be your own paper's data), or
  2. implementing functions in an open-source software/toolbox developed by your lab (or open-source software used in your domain) to support NeuroJSON data files or URL-based API to read data on NeuroJSON.io (we will provide hands-on tutorials and needed libraries)
we will be happy to host your public imaging datasets on our system and let more users to find them and reuse them (and cite them).

Event Address:        in-person at ISEC (805 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA 02115, USA) or remote via Zoom
Dates:                       July 1-2
Website:                   https://neurojson.org, https://neurojson.io
Tentative agenda:   Coming soon!

Seats are limited, please register at your earliest convenience to secure your enrollment.

Participants of the NeuroJSON Hackathon (Day 2, July 2) are expected to participate one of the two interactive activities (or both) during the hackathon: 

1) converting one of the public imaging datasets produced by your lab (associated with a paper or standalone) and uploading to NeuroJSON.io (must be the copyright owner or have the permission to do so, can be your own paper's data), or

2) implementing functions in an open-source software/toolbox developed by your lab (or open-source software used in your domain) to support NeuroJSON data files or URL-based API to read data on NeuroJSON.io (we will provide hands-on tutorials and needed libraries)
Please check the activities that you would like to participate during the Hackathon (you must check at least one, or both) *
Required
If you checked the Activity 1 above, please describe the dataset or associated publications (provide details, URLs, and why it is worth sharing)
If you checked the Activity 2 above, please describe the software or toolbox you plan to enable NeuroJSON data access support (provide details, URLs, license etc)
