We are working to make neuroscience a better science: more efficient, open, reproducible, friendly, tranparent, exciting, ...
Only some of the projects we lead or participate in are contained in this organization but in individual projects organization or repositories under other initiatives.
People of the center: @yarikoptic, @asmacdo, @candleindark, @vmdocua, @codycbakerphd.
Emeritus: @jgors, @glalteva, @oliver-contier, @snastase, @mvdoc, @kyleam, @chrispycheng, @TheChymera, @jwodder.
Collaborators and contributors: many wonderful people, find some also among our Teams at https://github.com/orgs/con/teams .
If you have any recommendations or suggestions, feel welcome to file an issue among issues of this organizational repository. This organization contains some repositories which are projects in conceptualization stages. Some are also listed in the issues of the con/ceptualization repository.
