Neuroscience Data: Visualize, Collaborate & Build, Dr. Stephen Larson

Biography: Stephen Larson is the CEO of MetaCell, global leaders in neuroscience software, with clients ranging from top-20 academic institutions to big pharma. He is a co-founder of the international OpenWorm project that is constructing a detailed digital simulation of a whole animal in an open science fashion.

He has co-developed a patent, presented at more than two dozen forums and published over a dozen articles in academic journals such as Nature and Frontiers in Neuroscience. Stephen’s work has been featured in the Economist, the New York Times, Wired, the Atlantic, at two TEDx forums and a Science Channel show with Morgan Freeman.

He holds a Bachelor and Masters from MIT in Computer Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and received a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego.

Synopsis: The modern neuroscience researcher or neurotech company faces a challenging landscape in order to use experimental or device data to its maximal potential. While data collection and accumulation are expanding, approaches to data management and insight gathering still fall short.

In this free, open webinar we’ll be discussing how three major activities - 1) visualize, 2) collaborate, and 3) build - can massively expand an organization's ability to extract value from neuroscience data and work with it on the internet.

The webinar (45 mins + Q&A) will feature online interfaces and showcase the technological landscape available to solve this challenge and drive the neuroscience research industry forward.
