An annual two-day short course in neuroinformatics, held in conjunction with the Neuroinformatics Congress.The course provides an overview of a wide range of topics by leading experts in the field.

A dynamic lexicon of terms used in Neuroscience (a joint project of INCF and the Neuroscience Information Framework). NeuroLex.org is a freely editable semantic wiki for community-based curation, and the neuroscience community is invited to contribute to the Neurolex Wiki.

The purpose of the INCF Dataspace is to enable collaboration between researchers through the sharing of neuroscience data, text, images, sounds, movies, models and simulations. Features include: Access diverse data repositories from around the world through a single resource, Browse and access data using different user interfaces (Web, File Navigator, Command line), Upload and download data worldwide, Set/get arbitrary metadata for files and folders, Search metadata, Manage large data, Keep directories synchronized, Create temporary public or private links to share data.

Network Interchange format for Neuroscience (NineML) is a markup language for model description. This language is based on a layered approach: anabstraction layer allows a full mathematical description of the models, including events and state transitions, while the user layer contains parameter values for specific models.

A general formalism for the description of connectivity in neuronal network models. CSA allows NEST and NineML-based implementations to setup connectivity. A Python version publicly available from the INCF software center, and C++ implementation in progress.

A software that allows large-scale neuron simulators to communicate during runtime. MUSIC allows exchange of data among parallel applications in a cluster environment, interconnects large-scale neuronal network simulators with each other or with other tools, and participates in multi-simulations. Three simulators currently have MUSIC interfaces: Moose, NEURON and NEST.

Provides standard semantic annotation for computational models.

A coordinate-based reference space that is intended to encourage interoperability between existing and future mouse data resources.

A web-based display engine for brain atlases, imaging data, and topologies. SBA allows client websites to show brain region related data in 3D interactive contexts and provides services to look-up brain regions, generate thumbnails, download nomenclature, and delineate data. A variety of services are being developed around the templates contained in the Scalable Brain Atlas. For example, you can include thumbnails of brain regions in your own webpage.
