## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
The study of the human brain with neuroimaging technologies is at the cusp of an exciting era of Big Data.
Many data collection projects, such as the NIH-funded Human Connectome Project, have made large, high-
quality datasets of human neuroimaging data freely available to researchers. These large data sets promise to
provide important new insights about human brain structure and function, and to provide us the clues needed
to address a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, neuroscience researchers still face
substantial challenges in capitalizing on these data, because these Big Data require a different set of technical
and theoretical tools than those that are required for analyzing traditional experimental data. These skills and
ideas, collectively referred to as Data Science, include knowledge in computer science and software engineering,
databases, machine learning and statistics, and data visualization.
 The Summer Institute in Data Science for Neuroimaging will combine instruction by experts in data science
methodology and by leading neuroimaging researchers that are applying data science to answer scientific ques-
tions about the human brain. In addition to lectures on the theoretical background of data science methodology
and its application to neuroimaging, the course will emphasize experiential hands-on training in problem-solving
tutorials, as well as project-based learning, in which the students will create small projects based on openly
available datasets.
