Imaging the human brain is an incredibly powerful tool to probe the mysteries of your most important organ. However, neuroimaging has a dirty little secret: it has been held back by a lack of sharing. Science journalist Giorgia Guglielmi gives a behind-the-scenes tour of a novel “crowdsourcing approach” to brain scans that is overcoming barriers to collaboration and supercharging neuroscience. getAbstract recommends this article to anyone interested in neuroscience or seeking a better understanding of the scientific process.
