CONP Experiments – An open-source neuroimaging experiment-sharing platform

CONP Experiments, what is it?

CONP Experiments est an open-source neuroimaging experiment-sharing platform. This project was supported by the inaugural competition of the Douglas Open Science Awards, in 2022.

It is a portal integrated in the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP), for searching and sharing open-source neuroimaging tasks.

CONP Experiments is an initiative led by Dr. Katie Lavigne, previously a postdoctoral fellow under supervision of Dr. Martin Lepage and Dr. Alan Evans and currently an Assistant Professor at McGill University and Lead of the Douglas Open Science Program.

What can you do with CONP Experiments?

CONP Experiments is an open methods platform based on open-source code, and as such it follows Douglas Open Science principles by:

  • Facilitating sharing of research tools, which contributes to research reproducibility and replicability;
  • Allowing collaborations on, modifications to, and reuse of open-source projects, which contributes to knowledge dissemination and sharing;
  • Promoting the adoption of open methods while respecting intellectual property through open licenses.
