Algorithms are the building blocks of computer programs. I love to study a broad variety of important and useful algorithms—methods for solving problems that are suited for computer implementation. At work, Algorithms play a key role in what I do and develop for organizing data that leave them amenable to efficient processing. I am currently working on Precision Medicine, Brain Computing Interfaces and Semantic Search.
Computation is becoming essential across all sciences, for data acquisition and analysis, automation, and hypothesis testing via modeling and simulation. As a consequence, software development is becoming a critical scientific activity. I believe that training of scientists in programming, software development, and computational thinking, choice of tools, community-building and interoperability are all issues that should be addressed, if we wish to accelerate scientific progress while maintaining standards of correctness and reproducibility.

I therefore felt that it was timely and important to raise awareness of the emerging programming concepts such as Python, Java, MatLab, R in Neuroscience software ecosystem amongst researchers, but also in the larger programming and neuroscience community.

This website was setup to address the following:

• establish a critical mass for Programming and Algorithms use and development in the eyes of the community;
• encourage interoperability and collaboration between developers;
• expose neuroscientists to the new tools that are now available.
