- Reposted by Ben Dichter🎥 NeuroDataReHack 2025 recordings are here! 15 talks from top experts on NWB, @dandiarchive.org, IBL, OpenScope, @spikeinterface.bsky.social, @pynapple.bsky.social & more. Learn how to find and use open neurophys data in your research! Details: nwb.org/news/neuroda... #OpenNeuroscience
- Thrilled to publish this in @thetransmitter.bsky.social - such a thoughtful platform for the conversations neuroscience needs to be having about AI, open science, and the future of our field.
- With LLMs, researchers can develop software entirely through natural language conversations. This shift is transforming how research gets done, offering new opportunities and new challenges, writes Benjamin Dichter. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/craft-and-ca...
- Reposted by Ben DichterNWB just turned 10 years old! Researchers worldwide have downloaded 1.9 PB of NWB data from @dandiarchive.org. This animation shows the reach of NWB, facilitating collaboration across the globe. What impact has open neurophysiology data had on your science? Share your stories! 🧠 @openscience
- My first piece with @thetransmitter.bsky.social is out! Open data is transforming neuroscience—350+ datasets on @dandiarchive.org in @nwb.org, new tools like Neurosift enabling discovery and analysis, and researchers all over the world discovering new insights using open data as a key resource!
- Data reuse represents an opportunity to accelerate science, reduce costs and increase the value of investments. But to date, the field hasn't placed equal emphasis on the reuse side of the data-sharing equation, writes @bendichter.com #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/open-neurosc...
- Inspired by Max Bennett's Cosyne keynote, I just finished his book, "A Brief History of Intelligence." A wonderful read bringing together diverse fields into one cohesive story - highly recommend to neuroscientists, AI researchers, and anyone interested in the nature of intelligence.
- Just wrapped Neurobio In Changing Environments 2025 at alleninstitute.bsky.social. Talked to some impressive and diverse neuroecologists about @nwb.org and @dandiarchive.org, and about how we can advance open science! Thanks to my co-panelists @sejdevries.bsky.social and Rachel Parkinson!
- Reposted by Ben DichterHello from Montreal! Thanks to everyone who attended our NWB and @dandiarchive.org workshop at #cosyne2025 and to our guest tool presenters. What a great start to the conference!
