We need a lot of data.

Because we are all so unique

Computers can store our data

We have algorithms

Neuroinformatics: A new discipline?

PhD student

Neuroinformatics reality:

A set of existing (distinct) disciplines?

Maybe neuroinformatics should be a web of disciplines?

create a web, not another mountain

The web, quite literally

me, a UWIN postdoc

Pediatric Mental Health

  • Most mental health disorder are diagnosed at childhood and adolescence
  • How do brain tissue volumes change during development?
    • are individual differences in development meaningful?

Healthy Brain Network

10,000 MRI scans

SO MUCH (statistical) POWER

a biobank from the Child Mind Institute

An MRI scan takes 5 min

Some kids can't stay still

Bad quality data

Bad inferences

Data needs visual inspection

10,000 MRI scans

Why not algorithms?

45 MPH

STOP!

we need some expertise

We should work together

Algorithms

  • fast
  • sometimes stupid
  • needs lots of data to learn

Humans

  • slow
  • sometimes smart
  • learns from sparse data

Thanks eLife Innovation!

oceanography/marine bio

How do brain tissue volumes change during development?

back to our question:

TL;DR

too long, didn't read in internet-speak

lets work together

to study the brain with Big Data

the web can break down barriers

between disciplines

Thanks to my Web Lab!
