Hello!
My name is Michael Porter, I’m a Teacher from Hampton Roads Virginia. I am looking to pursue the development of Advanced Artificial General Intelligence by mapping the human brain and studying the nature of consciousness.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Shivaprasad, and I am a second-year undergrad at IIIT Nagpur , Maharashtra. I’m fascinated enough to join this Neurostars community.
My passion is Machine Learning, and with a recent growth in interest for Neuroscience. I’ve been spending most of my time learning about Deep leanring, and I’m particularly fascinated by how we can use generative models to understand and work with complex biological data. Tracing the origin of deep learning, I got to read “The Perceptron” (1958) research paper by Rosenblatt, where the first perceptron was inspired by the brain itself.
Recently, for a research project, I’ve been developing a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) I’ve called RANGE-GAN, with a goal of creating high-fidelity synthetic EEG signals. The aim of this work is to help augment datasets for brain-computer interface (BCI) research, and this project has truly ignited my interest in the broader field of neuroinformatics. Beyond this, I’m also exploring the latest developments in NLP and GenAI.
As I’m preparing for GSoC and looking for ways to contribute, I’ve been exploring INCF’s past project ideas. I’m very impressed by the work on data standards and simulation tools. As someone with good background in PyTorch but new to the specific standards in this field, I was wondering if anyone could point me to a good starting point? For example, are there any key repositories or tutorials for understanding the practical implementation of standards like BIDS or NWB that would be beneficial for a newcomer to tackle?
Thank you for building such a welcoming community; I’m really looking forward to learning from all of you.
Best Regards,
Shivaprasad.

Hello everyone!
I am Mahima Elsa Joji, a first year PhD student at the Department of Cognitive and Brain Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Gandhinagar. I am deeply interested to understand the brain dynamics across higher-order cognitive processes and its disruption in neurological conditions. Currently, I am exploring the organization and alteration of brain networks in people with Schizophrenia. I aim to improve my knowledge and believe that my questions would resolve by working with you!

hi, i am sascha. i have been looking into computational neurology as a career field, it is so interesting, but i have no frame of reference. Nobody in my life even knows about this field, and if i leap, i want to know there is something to land on on the other side. would you be able to talk and give some advice?
hi, my name is sascha. i love physics and neurobiology, so i was thinking about a career similar to yours. my only problem is i don’t have anyone in my life who does anything like that, and i have no frame of reference. would you be willing to talk about your career and pathway? i have been looking at university sites, linkdin and forums like these to get some idea, but it is not the same as talking to someone.
hi, my name is sascha. i want to do computational neurology, but i do’nt know anyone remotely related to the field. i can’t make a leap of faith when i don’t know what’s on the other side. i want to study in the Netherlands, where you’re from. would you be willing to have a conversation about the field? some perspective and advice would be invaluable.
Hello, I’m Muhammad Ahmad Amin.
I’m a Full Stack Engineer in the MERN stack and currently exploring Data Science and Machine Learning.
I joined this community to learn more about INCF’s open-source projects and contribute for Google Summer of Code 2026. I’m excited to understand how INCF combines neuroscience and computing, and to find ways I can start contributing.
Looking forward to connecting with everyone here!
Hi all, I’m Vansh Srivastava, an AIML student interested in AI and neuroscience software.
I would love to start contributing to Neuroinformatics Unit projects.
Please let me know if there’s a recommended codebase or “beginner-friendly” issue I could explore.
Hey everyone,
I’m Batuhan from Türkiye, studying Computer Engineering.
Lately I’ve been really curious about how the brain can inspire computational models and learning systems.
Excited to explore what people are working on here

Hi everyone 
I’m Vy from Vietnam.
I’m independently exploring a neuroelectrical phenomenon I personally experience, which I call Spontaneous Neuroelectrical Cascade (SNC).
I’ve been documenting and translating my observations into English with the help of ChatGPT, and I’m here to learn from the neuroscience community.
Looking forward to connecting and exchanging ideas!
Cheers,

Chúc mừng anh! Cố gắng lên anh!

Hi everyone!
Through longitudinal assessments, I aim to evaluate differences between healthy and transgenic 5XFAD mice using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), behavioral testing, frailty index scoring, and biochemical analyses.
Last year, when I completed my undergraduate thesis, we decided to use manual segmentation of ROIs using a program called 3D Slicer. However, for my Master’s project, I hope to co-register my MRI images (T2 weighed fast spin echo at 60 um) with the Allen Mouse brain atlas and the developmental mouse brain atlas. Does anyone have any tips as I am relatively new to Python, I have been learning it over the past week and have encountered some difficulties while attempting to implement co-registration. I was wondering if there might be someone I could contact—or any resources or example scripts available—who could assist me in developing a coregistration pipeline with the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas and the Developing Mouse Brain Atlas.
