Dear colleagues, 

We are pleased to inform you about upcoming Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) workshops: NWB User Days, NWB Developer Days, and NeuroDataReHack.

NWB User and Developer Days

July 24th - 29th, 2023

HHMI Janelia Research Campus, VA, United States

Registration deadline: April 1st, 2023

The NWB User Days (July 24th - 26th) will train users how to convert their data to NWB and publish it on the DANDI Archive, starting from the basics and proceeding to NWB extensions, advanced data engineering techniques, and tools for analysis and visualization of NWB data.

The NWB Developer Days (July 27th - 29th) will bring neuroscientists, tool builders, and research software engineers together to further the development of the NWB software ecosystem, including the data standard, core software packages, official tools, and community tools.

The event is free to attend. Meals and accommodations will be provided, and you may request support for travel. To learn more and register for one or both, please visit the NWB User and Developer Days website.

NeuroDataReHack 2023

September 5th - 8th, 2023

Hotel Andalucia Center in Granada, Spain

Application deadline: May 1st, 2023

The goal of NeuroDataReHack is to train participants to generate new insights from existing neurophysiology data through secondary analysis. The DANDI Archive now has 120+ neurophysiology datasets in the Neurodata Without Borders format spanning many species, brain areas, task types, and imaging modalities. These include high-value datasets, e.g. from The Allen Institute, the MICrONS project, and the International Brain Laboratory, as well as diverse contributions from neuroscience labs around the world. NeuroDataReHack will teach attendees how to maximally utilize the data and computational resources of the DANDI Archive to incorporate existing data into their scientific workflows. Example projects include but are not limited to:
