Benefits of sharing neurophysiology data from the BRAIN Initiative Research Opportunities in Humans Consortium

Vasiliki Rahimzadeh et al. Neuron. .

Abstract

Sharing human brain data can yield scientific benefits, but because of various disincentives, only a fraction of these data is currently shared. We profile three successful data-sharing experiences from the NIH BRAIN Initiative Research Opportunities in Humans (ROH) Consortium and demonstrate benefits to data producers and to users.

Keywords: BRAIN Initiative; FAIR principles; data sharing; electrocorticography; implanted human neurophysiology; intracortical human physiology; intracranial EEG; invasive human neurophysiology.
