NeuroLibre has published its first wired paper: "Strong Coupling of Retinal Thickness and Optic Nerve Myelin in Vivo" (Plante et al.). Untick a participant in the dashboard and the regressions recompute without them. The figure is the analysis, not a picture of it.

Tomorrow in Skopje: Evidence Day 2026, on AI agents and the next generation of publishing. Plenaries by Stephen Boyd (Stanford), Jingang Qu (NVIDIA) and Xue (Steve) Liu (MBZUAI/McGill), and a round table on the sustainability of NeuroLibre's successor, Evidence.

Leaders in open neuroscience are invited to apply to the Neuro-Irv and Helga Cooper Foundation Open Science Prizes. Advancing transparency, collaboration, and accessibility in neuroscience research could win you a share of CAN$100,000. Learn more and apply here: t.ly/QBgOC #OpenScience #Neuroscience

Many thanks to the communications team at @theneuro.bsky.social for highlighting the CONP’s new ‪@braincanada.bsky.social‬ Platform Support Grant. We are very grateful for Brain Canada’s continued support for our multi-faceted approach to facilitating the practice of Open Neuroscience.

Great news for #OpenScience in Montreal! @BrainCanada is investing in six incredible platforms to drive innovation (t.ly/Aqfbz), including the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (‪@conp-pcno.bsky.social‬)! This funding will accelerate brain research and collaboration. #Neuroscience #BrainResearch

TO PDF OR NOT TO PDF? In September we organized NeuroLibre Day, and the most provocative lecture came from Dmitry Novikov I am a well-known PDF hater, but Dmitry made me question my assumptions and rethink the publishing incentive structure @conp-pcno.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UAS...

The Open Science in Action Symposium is hosting a lunch poster session for abstracts on Open Science & Neuroscience—tools, platforms, and innovative practices. Priority for McGill trainees, but non-trainees can apply if space allows. Details: tinyurl.com/248tsnny #openscience

Our very own Agâh Karakuzu, post-doc at the NeuroPoly Lab, will be giving a workshop on how to create an open and reproducible publication with NeuroLibre. September 17 @ 12:00. Register here: tinyurl.com/2a8j6ols #openscience #OpenAccess

NeuroLibre is an innovative, open publishing platform that packages code, data, and runtime environments to produce reproducible publications. Join us for its launch at NeuroLibre Day on the 27th of September: tinyurl.com/24hvp7xg #openscience #OpenAccess

Register and join us May 23 for the EEGNet.org Virtual Colloquium bit.ly/3TU6Dqk. This #OpenScience event on #EEG and global applications in #neuroscience Q&A is moderated by Alan Evans and Pedro Valdes-Sosa with support from the Ludmer Centre and Brain Canada

ICYMI: This adolescent brain development dataset includes structural, diffusion, susceptibility, and functional MRI + cog tests for 51 children aged 6-13 thanks to @CatherineALebel @BryceGeeraert @MaxChamb @UCalgary Check it out on the CONP portal: portal.conp.ca/dataset?id=p...

The RECOVER dataset from the CONNECT network is now available on the CONP Portal! This pilot study data from 10 sites across Ontario aims to characterize ultra-early acute #concussion in adults using a multi-scale system approach. Learn more: portal.conp.ca/dataset?id=p...

New course on INCF TrainingSpace! It's a free, online course on neuroscience for ppl with a machine learning background. The aim: bring together these two fields with a shared goal in understanding intelligent processes. Take the course: bit.ly/TScourseNeuro4mL #neuroskyence

NeuroVault is celebrating over a decade of researchers openly sharing brain maps! We're looking back at the amazing growth & what's next. But first... We need your help! Take our survey to shape the future of NeuroVault & data sharing! tally.so/r/wLP2Oj

Applications for this year's Open Science Prizes from The Neuro open March 15 - Don't miss your chance to have your hard work recognized through one of these generous awards! Find all the details here: www.mcgill.ca/neuro/open-s...

Citations are cheap! We need to put greater emphasis on reusing somebody's work (data, code, workflows) instead of just citing it arxiv.org/abs/2402.04607

Welcoming @conp-pcno.bsky.social to Bluesky! Give them a follow, they made NeuroLibre possible

📢Community review requested: NetPyNE📢 NetPyNE is an open-source #Python package designed for the development, simulation, & analysis of biological neuronal networks 🧠 ⚠️ The review period ends Fri Feb 09! Used this standard? Review it here: http://bit.ly/4beRciC #neuroskyence

Hello Bluesky! We're new here, but please give us a follow if you're interested in open science, open datasets, open publishing etc. so we can follow you back and build our network! And check out conp.ca to learn all about us :)
