LMU Open Science Center’s FAIR Data Management expert, Reema Gupta, attended the EBRAINS Summit 2025 (@ebrains) with her team to present their NHP-EBRAINS project, an open-source pipeline turning messy multi-lab primate electrophysiology data into something actually FAIR and usable! 🧠

More details on NHP-EBRAINS here: https://gin.g-node.org/NHPRestingState/NHP-EBRAINS/wiki/

Some highlights from EBRAINS Summit 2025:
- Neurobagel’s (https://neurobagel.org/) approach to metadata hubs - creating an open-source ecosystem for distributed dataset harmonization and search for federated discovery without centralising everything.
- Martin Schrimpf (@mschrimpf) on NeuroAI, an interdisciplinary field merging neuroscience and AI, as well as the work Brain Score (https://www.brain-score.org/) is doing regarding model benchmarking.
- The BRiDGE project (https://bridge.incf.org/brain-research-international-data-governance-exchange) on making data and tools interoperable across international brain initiatives - important for roles at LMU labs that involve collaborating with data on international projects.
- Google Summer of Code (GSoC) (https://gitlab.ebrains.eu/ri/projects-and-initiatives/bids2ebrains/bids2ebrains) project on automating BIDS-to-KnowledgeGraph registration- this project aims to integrate BIDS-compliant neuroimaging datasets from external repositories into the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph.

💡A quick recap on some especially interesting booths at the summit:
The siibra-explorer booth (https://ebrains.eu/data-tools-services/tools/siibra-explorer), BIDS booth (https://bids.neuroimaging.io/index.html), Knowledge and Data services booth (https://ebrains.eu/data-tools-services/data-knowledge), and the Modeling and Simulation booth (https://ebrains.eu/data-tools-services/modelling-simulation).

Reema’s top highlight was finally meeting and having insightful conversations with the people behind the tools she works with every day and uses to build her project!

From user-driven science to future technologies, Day 3 of the #EBRAINSSummit2025 spotlighted the EBRAINS community, emerging tech, and the future of European #BrainResearch.

Highlights included #UserTalks, the introduction of the EBRAINS Roadmap 2026–2036 call, and discussions on EuroHPC computing, neurotechnology, and the growing convergence of #AI and neuroscience.

Just a few more days until the #EBRAINSSummit2025!

We are very excited for the “Medical data for enabling progress in healthcare in Europe and beyond” panel on 9 December, the Public Day of the Summit. This panel, co-organised by EBRAINS and the INCF, will explore the key role of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) medical data in advancing healthcare research and innovation.
