The future of neuroimaging, neuroscience, and the end of neurological diseases and disorders lies in collaboration. To this end, I encourage researchers to make their software open source and publicly available. I have already begun putting the tools that I develop on the NITRC website. I would encourage people to look at these tools and build upon …Read More
In 2009, Timothy Gowers, a renowned mathematician at Cambridge University, proposed a difficult and interesting mathematical problem, of which he did not have the answer. Unlike seeking the answer in the traditional manner (by whipping hordes of graduate students and post-doc fellows), he instead posted the question on his blog and asked for anyone and …Read More
