Squishymedia has been the lead developer on the OpenNeuro project since its inception in 2016. In the three years since the first release OpenNeuro has become the ‘go-to’ repository for neuroimaging datasets for researchers worldwide.

OpenNeuro contains over 35TB of data and has over 11,000 combined data contributors and users sharing MRI, EEG, iEEG, MEG, ECoG, and PET datasets.

This standardization enhances the utility of shared datasets by facilitating standards-based reuse of the datasets as well as assisting in reproducibility and repeatability projects.

The platform will soon support additional validation functionality for privacy standards compliance, as well as more detailed evaluation of dataset contents.

Incoming datasets on OpenNeuro are validated against the BIDS Specification to ensure datasets are compliant with community standards for data management.

Each dataset is stored and presented using standardized metadata vocabularies, making it easier for researchers to find and understand datasets relevant to their work.

We use open metadata standards to ensure visibility of the datasets on search engines and to facilitate standards-based meta-analysis projects and data reuse whenever possible.
