Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Software Curator, Neural Computation Unit
As a core project of Japan’s flagship neuroscience program, Brain/MINDS 2.0 ( https://brainminds.jp/en/ ), OIST Neural Computation Unit is developing an AI-powered neuroscience data analysis and modeling platform Neuro-Workflow ( https://github.com/oist/neuro-workflow ), by which users can intuitively design and execute a workflow by connecting varieties of computing modules (nodes) through graphic user interface and chat with AI agents, and share the nodes and workflows they developed for collaborations and reproducible research. We call for a software curator to maintain the quality and interoperability of such nodes and workflows.
