NeuroData ReHack 2026
Come to the Janelia Research Campus and participate in a week-long hack devoted to utilizing existing neurophysiology data.
Datasets in the Neurodata Without Borders format are available in multiple repositories -spanning many species, brain areas, task types, and imaging modalities. These include high-value datasets in DANDI, e.g. from Allen Institute OpenScope, the MICrONS project, and the International Brain Laboratory Brain Wide Map, SPARC, as well as diverse contributions from neuroscience labs around the world. In this workshop, we will teach attendees about the open neurophysiology datasets available on the DANDI Archive and train them on how to maximally utilize the archive and the NWB standard to incorporate existing data into their scientific workflows. Feedback from attendees will be used to improve the software and data standard to better enable reanalysis workflows.
Example projects include but are not limited to:
- Determine whether your result is present in another species or brain area.
- Showcase the capabilities of your tool or analysis on existing data from another lab.
- Explore follow-up questions to a study.
- Create educational content that uses open data.
This event will primarily focus on analyzing existing data in NWB and on DANDI, not converting data to NWB. If you are interested in learning how to convert data, consider signing up for an NWB Data Conversion Workshop.
Space is limited, so we encourage you to apply early. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Applications close February 20, 2026. Lodging and food are provided.
