Building on decades of experience creating widely-used, large-scale informatics solutions in the neurosciences, the Data Archive for the BRAIN Initiative (DABI) was launched to address the need for a central repository for human invasive neurophysiology. DABI allows researchers to ingest, harmonize, aggregate, store, visualize, and disseminate human invasive neurophysiology data, including EEG, ECoG, LFP, single-unit activity, and more.
The repository, which will also house synchronized behavioral, imaging, demographic, and other key data, is specifically designed to help BRAIN Initiative researchers organize and analyze their own data while fulfilling data-sharing directives from federal agencies and their respective institutions. Investigators retain ownership and control of their data through a federated model.
This work is supported by the National Institute of Mental Health at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), award number R24MH114796.
