The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility INCF is an international science organization. Its purpose is to facilitate worldwide cooperation of activities and infrastructures in neuroinformatics related fields. It was established in 2005 by recommendations of the Global Science Forum working group of the OECD . The wikt secretariat secretariat is hosted by the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm , Sweden . The INCF currently has national nodes in 16 member countries. Demonstration projects have included the CoCoMac database, Novell Embedded Systems Technology NEST simulation tool, SumsDB , NeuroScholar , and Multi simulation coordinator MUSIC . The INCF also hosts the Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium NPRC and INCF Software Center. The INCF organizes an annual Neuroinformatics Congress this year s upcoming meeting will be held in Boston , Massachusetts, at the end of August 2011. Genesis of the project The recommendation to coordinate international efforts in the new field of Neuroinformatics was first made in the report on Bioinformatics elaborated under the aegis of the then OECD Megascience Forum in 1998. Following extensive discussions in the Neuroinformatics Working Group of the Global Science Forum chaired by Dr Stephen Koslow, the proposal to create an International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility, as well as a funding Programme in International Neuroinformatics PIN , was then presented in 2002. This project was endorsed by OECD science ministers at their meeting ... documents that form the legal basis for the INCF and the PIN see below .

NeuroNames is an integrated nomenclature for structures in the brain and spinal cord of the four species most studied by neuroscientists human , macaque , rat and mouse . It offers a standard, controlled vocabulary of common names for structures, which is suitable for unambiguous neuroanatomical indexing of information in digital databases. Terms in the standard vocabulary have been selected for ease of pronunciation, mnemonic value, and frequency of use in recent neuroscientific publications. Structures and their relations to each other are defined in terms of the standard vocabulary. Currently NeuroNames contains standard names, synonyms and definitions of some 2,500 neuroanatomical entities. The nomenclature is maintained by the University of Washington and is the core component of a tool called BrainInfo . BrainInfo helps one identify structures in the brain. One can either search by a structure name or locate the structure in a brain atlas and get information such as its location in the classical brain hierarchy, images of the structure, what cells it has, its connections and genes expressed there. Information can be accessed by any of some 16,000 synonyms in eight languages. NeuroNames is a source vocabulary of the Metathesaurus of the Unified Medical Language System . It is described in depth in the following three scientific articles Cite journal author D. M. Bowden & R. F.

Unlike most packages it provides users with a choice of interface generate experiments by writing Python scripts or through a graphical interface which will generate a script for them or by a combination of the two . Its platform independence is achieved through the use of the wxPython widget library for the application and OpenGL for graphics calls. History and versions 2003 PsychoPy was originally written by Peirce as a proof of concept that a high level scripting language could generate experimental stimuli in real time existing solutions, such as Psychtoolbox, had to pre generate movies or use CLUT animation techniques . 2003 2005 this was extended to be able to generate experiments in the author s lab at Nottingham University and made available as an open source project on the internet. At this time PsychoPy was a library Python package that could be imported by Python scripts. Installing was complex because of the dependencies. 2006 An editor was added, so that users could use PsychoPy as an application rather than a library April 2009 Version 1.0 released, including all main features of the library but with some bugs in the win32 installer September 2009 Version 1.50 released, including various bug fixes to the underlying library and preview of new GUI interface, to become Psy ... more details
