The Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (NeuroMat), one of FAPESP's RIDCs, has launched a task force to improve content on Wikipedia pertaining to brain science. The task force brings together journalists and scientists who collaborate to edit entries and add up-to-date information on Neuromathematics. Report by Diego Freire, Agência FAPESP, 5/9/2016. (In Portuguese).
The workshop “High-Performance Computing, Stochastic Modeling and Databases in Neuroscience,” that FAPESP's Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat) held in the last week of April, was an occasion for strengthening ties among brain-science international consortia. Specifically, this event contributed to engaging NeuroMat’s technology-transfer team within the network that is facilitated by the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) with the forthcoming creation of creation of an INCF Special Interest Group on “stochastic modeling and statistical analysis of neural systems” and a formal collaboration with the INCF Program on Standards for Data Sharing, particularly with a task force on electrophysiology and on neuroimaging. INCF’s scientific director Sean Hill attended NeuroMat’s workshop and gave a talk on computational challenges of understanding the brain.
