Open Connectome Project

Enabling big-data neuroscience

About

Our goal is to work together with neuro experimentalists to discover fundamental principles governing the relationship between mind and brain, via building and deploying open source data-driven tools that run at scale

Data

All data are hosted in AWS on the Open NeuroData Registry https://registry.opendata.aws/open-neurodata
