About NIRA
The Neuroscience Experiments System (NES) is an open-source tool to assist in the organizational control and management of clinical and experimental neurophysiological data gathered in use in laboratories, that the technology-transfer team at FAPESP’s NeuroMat has developed since 2014. A scientific challenge that the development of this tool addresses is that neuroscience experiments generate heterogeneous data formats and complex metadata, such as provenance information, and NES —currently available on a 0.12 version — intends to provide a unified repository for data and metadata from different natures (i.e., clinical, imaging, behavioral). Furthermore, NES can manage electrophysiological data from EEG and EMG as well as performing the integration of this data with electronic questionnaires filled by each participant in the context of an experimental protocol.

The Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat) has hosted David Alves as their Wikipedian-in-residence since April. He has received a grant from the São Paulo Research Foundation to establish a practice of scientific dissemination through Wikipedia in NeuroMat, a top-tier research center at the University of São Paulo. Report by Ed Erhart, Wikimedia Blog, 7/15/2016.
This talk presents results of analytical and numerical investigations on the use of the Galves-Löcherbach stochastic neuron to model networks of spiking neurons. The work is done in collaboration with NeuroMat researchers Dr. Ludmila Brochini, Dr. Ariadne Costa, Dr. Miguel Abadi, Dr. Jorge Stolfi, Dr. Osame Kinouchi and students Renan Shimoura and Vinícius Cordeiro.Presented.
