Databases
Internet Analysis Tools Registry (IATR)
The overall goals of this site are to facilitate tool sharing, by enabling rapid of available tools, to facilitate tool sharing by tool developers by enabling more widespread information to be disseminated about the available tools, and to minimize tool development overlap, by providing a forum by which the best tools can be identified and shared. At this resource, tool ‘owners’ register their tools (and are responsible for tool description content).
Internet Brain Segmentation Repository (IBSR)
The Internet Brain Segmentation Repository (IBSR) provides manually-guided expert segmentation results along with magnetic resonance brain image data. Its purpose is to encourage the evaluation and development of segmentation methods.
Internet Brain Volumetric Database (IBVD)
The goal of IBVD is to provide a web-based searchable database of brain neuroanatomic volumetric observations. This is designed to access both group volumetric results as well as volume observations in individual cases. A major thrust effort is to enable electronic access to the results that exist in the published literature. Currently, there is quite limited electronic or searchable methods for the data observations that are contained in publications. This effort will facilitate the disemination of volumetric observations by making a more complete corpus of volumetric observations findable to the neuroscience researcher. This also enhances the ability to perform comparative and integrative studies, as well as metaanalysis. Extensions that permit pre-published, non-published and other representation are planned, again to facilitate comparitive analyses.
