## Overview

[The DANDI Archive](http://dandiarchive.org) now has 300+ neurophysiology datasets in the [Neurodata Without Borders](http://nwb.org) format spanning many species, brain areas, task types, and imaging modalities. These include datasets 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.

The Open Neurodata and Tools Showcase is a free virtual event in Gather where attendees can meet data contributors and tool developers, explore publicly available neurophysiology datasets in DANDI, and discover open-source tools integrated with the NWB ecosystem. This event provides an opportunity to connect with both dataset creators and tool developers to discuss their work, including open research questions and potential applications.

## Target Audience

The table display is a little hard to read because there are no lines dividing the cells, I think it's ok but not sure if there is a easy fix

## Dates and Location

- **Dates:** Monday, August 4, 2025, 9 AM to Wednesday, August 6, 2025, 5:30 PM
- **Location:** Flatiron Institute, [162 5th Ave, New York, NY 10010, USA](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Flatiron+Institute/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x8849799a20fe5d4a?sa=X&ved=1t:2428&ictx=111)

## Overview

The Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) team is organizing a community hackathon to bring together scientists, research software engineers, and students who want to become involved with NWB development, tool integration, outreach, and/or training by hacking on projects together. This hackathon will enable participants to work intensively on NWB-related projects with the assistance of the NWB development team and others in the community.

This is the first NWB hackathon event hosted by the Flatiron Institute, which is home to active projects in the NWB software ecosystem, such as Pynapple, NeMoS, Neurosift, and CaImAn. Hackathon projects can be on any topic, but projects that relate to NWB integration with these tools are encouraged.

## Objective

The Neurodata Without Borders project is an effort to standardize the description and storage of neurophysiology data and metadata. NWB enables data sharing and reuse and reduces the energy barrier to applying data analytics both within and across labs. NWB has seen wide adoption in the neurophysiology community, and there are now over 300 datasets on the DANDI Archive in NWB, including data from the Allen Institute and the International Brain Laboratory.

The NWB Community Hackathon will bring neuroscientists, tool builders, and research software engineers together to further the development of the NWB software ecosystem, including the data standard, core software packages, official tools, and community tools. Members of the community will exchange ideas and best practices for using NWB and the libraries, share NWB-based tools, surface common needs, solve bugs, make feature requests, brainstorm about future funding and collaboration, and make progress on current blockages.

## Important Notes

- This community hackathon is not a training event. There will be no introductory-level talks or lessons on how to use NWB.
- If you are new to NWB but still interested in attending, the NWB team provides many [video tutorials](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZiSesEVA3o&list=PL5wPNhoBP0ZB2sLuRKWqwgXf9V3FRl1bw) and [online documentation](https://nwb-overview.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro_to_nwb/1_intro_to_nwb.html).
- If you want to learn how to convert your data to NWB, consider attending the [virtual NWB Data Conversion Workshop](https://neurodatawithoutborders.github.io/nwb_hackathons/HCK22_2025_DataConversion_Remote/) in May 2025.
- We encourage participants to stay at the hackathon until the very end - Wednesday at 5:30 PM - to participate in the final project presentations.

## Logistics

### Housing
Housing support is not provided. Housing options near the hackathon will be suggested in April.

### Travel
Travel support is not provided.

### Dining
Continental breakfast and boxed lunches will be provided, courtesy of the Simons Foundation.

## Organizing Committee

- **Program chairs:** Ryan Ly and Matthew Avalyon
