1. Lynda : Lyon Neuroimaging Database and Applications (1) Institut des Sciences Cognitives UMR 5015 CNRS ; (2) parallel computing ENS-Lyon ; (3)Centre de Calcul IN2P3 Lynda : Lyon Neuroimaging Database and Applications Christian Scheiber 1, Eric Boix 2, Eddy Caron 2, Jean-Yves Nief 3 & Pascal Calvat 3 (1) Institut des Sciences Cognitives UMR 5015 CNRS ; (2) parallel computing ENS-Lyon ; (3)Centre de Calcul IN2P3 A support to develop and manage the information technology necessary to meet the needs of collaborative, distributed research in the field of neuroimaging devoted to neuroscience. Lynda applications will include (1) interregional quality control and standardization of imaging procedure from different imaging systems from the same modality (2) meta analysis of previous neuroimaging experiments (3) joint projects at regional, national or international level. Research Protocol Experimental Design Neuroscientist SRB Meta Data Experimental Design 2005 – fMRI line fMRI CERMEP 1.5T system Storage Resource Broker (CC-IN2P3) - Save Time and increase security - From anywhere… manage your data - Large (fMRI, MEG, MRI..) data can be safety stored - 24 hour maintenance & accessibility to your data - Easier data/results sharing with coworkers - Lowering costs PC – software - maintenance - Meta-Analysis are feasible & encouraged - National & International research results can be handle Objectives Lynda synopsis from RawData to Results 1 st Phase : fMRI testbed Conclusion Interactive System Batch Preparation fMRI processing wrapper Lynda is already accessible to the scientific community in Lyon and few tests-centers for fMRI and or SPECT/PET data Develop cyberinfrastructure that enables sharing and collaborative use of distributed biomedical databases and data collections, analysis and modeling software, and visualization tools. Encourage collaborations among members of diverse research institutions and scientific domains that traditionally conducted independent investigations. Soon: join the BIRN project Biomedical Informatics Research Network, NIH, USA SRB an efficient & already robust solution Data Processing of fMRI time series and More…. 2006 SPM – SPM// - PSPM Neuroscientist A distributed file system (Data Grid), based on a client-server architecture. It’s also more: It provides a way to access files and computers based on their attributes rather than just their names or physical locations. It replicates, synchronizes, archives, and connects heterogeneous resources in a logical manner using abstraction mechanisms. Scalable solution: the system can be resized in order to meet the increasing needs of the project (right now, 600,000 files stored in SRB). Tape storage system (CC-IN2P3) As a first phase Lynda will support the regional network of neuroscience research units and institutions but designed to be a partner of other international similar projects such as Bioinformatics Research Network (BIRN) in the US. Lynda is developed with a bottom-up strategy, i.e that it will immediately contribute to optimize (1) raw data transmission and storage from imaging systems (2) database resources and (3) computing resources for the NeuroScience community and their national and/or international collaborators.
