## Dates and Location

- **Dates:** July 8-12, 2024
- **Location:** [HHMI Janelia Research Campus](https://www.janelia.org/), 19700 Helix Dr, Ashburn, VA 20147,
[Openstreetmap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.0708&mlon=-77.4655#map=14/39.0708/-77.4655)
[Directions](https://www.janelia.org/directions)

## Objective
[The DANDI Archive](http://dandiarchive.org) now has 199+ neurophysiology datasets in the
[Neurodata Without Borders](http://nwb.org) format spanning many species, brain areas, task types, and imaging
modalities. These include high-value datasets, e.g. from [Allen Institute OpenScope](https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/search?search=openscope), the [MICrONS project](https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/000402), and the
[International Brain Laboratory Brain Wide Map](https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/000409), 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.

<!--
Prior to the workshop, we are organizing [Open Neurodata Showcase](../HCK16_2023_OpenNeuroDataShowcase/README.md) where attendees can meet the contributors behind the neurophysiology datasets and explore virtual posters. Visit the [event page](../HCK16_2023_OpenNeuroDataShowcase/README.md#application) to sign up
and read more about this feature event.
-->

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.

<!--
Following the event, participants will be invited to apply for a Kavli Foundation Neurodata Discovery Award, which
awards $50,000 (USD) of funding to continue data reanalysis projects that come out of the NeuroDataReHack event. Details about the Kavli Foundation Neurodata Discovery Award will be provided closer to the event.
-->
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 User Days event.

## Eligibility

This course is intended for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, principal investigators, or similar.
Applicants should have basic programming experience in Python or MATLAB and experience with neurophysiology research.


## Application

Space for the event is limited. Apply to attend NeuroDataReHack 2024 [here](https://forms.gle/tzumwuVgrkdD4zm36).

* Application deadline: March 1
* Notification of admission decisions: April 1

## Logistics

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of The Janelia Research Campus, this event will be free to participants:
* There is no registration or application fee.
* Participants will be provided a private room at Janelia Research Campus for the duration of this event,
checking in on Sunday, July 7, and checking out on Friday, July 12 or Saturday, July 13.
* Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and coffee breaks will be provided.
* You will be responsible for booking your own flight and transportation to Janelia Research Campus.
* You will be responsible for determining visa and/or healthcare requirements for travel to the United States.

## Organizing Committee
