Roadmap

The roadmap for NeuroBlueprint contains our development plans for the specification.

The roadmap is responsive to the requirements of the community, and we encourage people to get in contact to outline their needs and priorities.

The aim of NeuroBlueprint v0.2 was to provide a lightweight specification enabling automatic discovery of raw data for different data types (e.g. behaviour, electrophysiology).

Next, we plan to extend the specification to support automated multimodal analysis. This will require metadata standardisation, and we will decide on an existing metadata standard to adopt and a minimal set of required keywords.

Q4 2024

• Investigate and adopt a metadata standard (e.g. Brain Imaging Data Structure or Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics).

• Add required metadata for automated multimodal behavioural and electrophysiological analysis to the specification.
