Since 1997, the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) Annual Meeting has provided a critical platform for sharing the latest developments in brain mapping. For over a decade OHBM has recorded presentations and made them accessible to its members through the OnDemand platform. However, limiting access to cutting-edge scientific content solely to paying members contradicts the longstanding ethos of OHBM, which has championed open science principles and practices for many years. Here, we introduce the OHBM Time Machine, a collaborative initiative undertaken by the Program, Education and Communications Committees of OHBM. The project seeks to create a free and permanent archive of all recorded Annual Meeting content, accessible to members and non-members alike.
