Neuroinformatics data exploitation service

• Yin Chen (EGI.eu)

Description

The aim of the Human Brain Project (HBP) is to accelerate our understanding of the human brain by integrating global neuroscience knowledge and data into supercomputer-based models and simulations. This will be achieved, in part, by engaging the European and global research communities using six collaborative ICT platforms: Neuroinformatics, Brain Simulation, High Performance Computing, Medical Informatics, High Performance Computing, Neuromorphic Computing and Neurorobotics.

This session is intended for
· NeuroInformatics communities interested in collaborations, in particular with HBP
· NGIs cloud providers interested in how HBP can benefit from cloud provisioning for its big data integration needs and willing to support HBP
· Technology providers interested in offering solutions and participating to tests
· Members of the Federated Data Virtual Team

34. Large-scale neuroimaging analysis: growth curves for the ageing brain

Dr Stefan Klein (Erasmus MC)

08/04/2016, 09:00

In this talk I will present new approaches for computer-aided diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease, based on large-scale quantitative modelling of the ageing brain. The main idea is to construct “growth” curves that characterise the distribution of MRI-derived markers in a healthy population as a function of age. These growth curves can then serve as reference charts to which patient data...

35. Rosemary: Making Complex Collaborative Big Data Analysis Easy -- the Neuroscience use-case

Dr Shayan Shahand (Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam), Prof. Silvia Olabarriaga (Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam)

08/04/2016, 09:20

"Science Gateways" are web-based enterprise information systems that facilitate access to information infrastructures in the form of customized and community-specific interfaces to data collections, computational tools, and collaborative services. In other words, Science Gateways integrate and customize infrastructure services into one system to provide workflow automation, to increase...

36. EGI TestBed for HBP

Matthew Viljoen (EGI.eu)

08/04/2016, 10:00

This talk will report the activities of the HBP/EGI collaboration from October 2015 to March 2016, the pilot data hosting service run by EGI.eu for the Human Brain Project (HBP) and the technical preparations of moving the service into a production-ready state. The talk also includes potential future directions that the service can take.
