In the context of clinical activities of the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat), the Goalkeeper's Game appears as a potential resource for the diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease. A degenerative disorder of the nervous system, this disease affects 1% of the world population of over 65 years, according to the Association Brazil Parkinson. This work is part of the NeuroMat-led network AMPARO.

Neuroscientists perform complex experiments aiming to reach a more effective understanding about the functioning of the brain and the treatment of its pathologies. Each research laboratory uses different techniques and methodologies to produce and to analyze its findings. These experiments generate large volumes of data in diverse formats. Furthermore, with the increasing of the scale of research projects, many research laboratories are confronted with new technical (e.g. data size, quality control, analysis complexity, guaranteed reproducibility) and social (e.g. employee turnover, data sharing requirements) challenges. In addition, there is a lack of computational tools to document the experiments, to facilitate the electronic data capture, and to support reproducibility.
