Abstract:
Leveraging large-scale neuroscience datasets requires new collaborative approaches. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) is a distributed, open-science experiment facing these challenges. To succeed, IBL developed methods for shared decision-making, division of labor, authorship/credit assignment, career support, standardization, and robust data analysis. We share these lessons learned to benefit other collaborative scientific efforts.
