## Objective
25+
26+
[The DANDI Archive](http://dandiarchive.org) now has 400+ neurophysiology datasets in the
27+
[Neurodata Without Borders](http://nwb.org) format spanning many species, brain areas, task types, and imaging
28+
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
29+
[International Brain Laboratory Brain Wide Map](https://dandiarchive.org/dandiset/000409), as well as diverse contributions from neuroscience labs around the world. In this
30+
workshop, we will teach attendees about the open neurophysiology datasets available on the DANDI Archive and train
31+
them on how to maximally utilize the archive and the NWB standard to incorporate existing data into their scientific
32+
workflows. Feedback from attendees will be used to improve the software and data standard to better enable
33+
reanalysis workflows.
34+
35+
Example projects include but are not limited to:
36+
* Determine whether your result is present in another species or brain area.
37+
* Showcase the capabilities of your tool or analysis on existing data from another lab.
38+
* Explore follow-up questions to a study.
39+
* Create educational content that uses open data.
40+
41+
This event will primarily focus on analyzing existing data in NWB and on DANDI, **not** converting data to NWB. If
42+
you are interested in learning how to convert data, consider signing up for an NWB Data Conversion Workshop.
43+
44+
## Schedule
45+
46+
Schedule details will be posted closer to the event date.
47+
48+
<!-- ## Kavli Neurodata Discovery Award
49+
50+
Following the event, participants will be invited to apply for a Kavli Foundation Neurodata Discovery Awards, which awards $50,000 (USD) of funding to continue data reanalysis projects that come out of the NeuroDataReHack event. This is a funding opportunity exclusive to NeuroDataReHack participants.

## Eligibility
74+
75+
This course is intended for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, principal investigators, or similar.
76+
Advanced undergraduates may be considered on a case-by-case basis. We welcome applicants from all areas of
77+
neuroscience, including but not limited to experimentalists, computational neuroscientists, and data scientists.
78+
Applicants should have basic programming experience in Python or MATLAB and experience with neurophysiology research.
79+
80+
## Logistics
81+
82+
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of The Janelia Research Campus, this event will be free to participants:
83+
* There is no registration or application fee.
84+
* Participants will be provided a private room at Janelia Research Campus for the duration of this event,
85+
checking in on Sunday, July 12, and checking out the evening of Friday, July 17 or the morning of Saturday, July 18.
86+
* Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and coffee breaks will be provided. Janelia is adept at accommodating dietary
87+
restrictions; please indicate any dietary restrictions on your application.
88+
* You will be responsible for booking your own flight and transportation to Janelia Research Campus.
89+
* You will be responsible for determining visa and/or healthcare requirements for travel to the United States. Please
90+
plan accordingly, as this process can take several months. We would be happy to provide a letter of invitation to
91+
support your visa application if needed.
92+
93+
