Stanford Center for Neural Data Science

A newly created center between two Stanford units,
 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Stanford Data Science

Neuroscience is bursting with data. With detailed maps of neural circuits, high-resolution behavioral videos, and large-scale recordings of brain activity, we have an unprecedented opportunity for data-driven discovery. Analyzing and deriving insight from these complex datasets requires expertise spanning neuroscience, data science, statistics, computer science, engineering, psychology, and more. The Center for Neural Data Science will foster new interdisciplinary collaborations between our world-class departments here at Stanford, creating a synergistic environment for developing novel analytical methods and driving transformative discoveries in brain research.

Mission and Goals

• Mission: To advance the understanding of the brain through the development and application of cutting-edge data science methods, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and training the next generation of neural data scientists at Stanford.
• Specific Goals:
  • Foster Interdisciplinary Research: Facilitate new collaborations between faculty and students from diverse departments.
  • Develop Novel Methodologies: Drive the creation of new computational and statistical tools for neural data analysis.
  • Train the Next Generation: Provide comprehensive training opportunities for students at all levels.
  • Promote Community Engagement: Disseminate knowledge and engage with the broader scientific community and public.
  • Build Bridges across Stanford Data Science Centers: Build relationships with other centers, including the Open Science and Causal Science centers, through joint events and mixers.
