Breaking Barriers: A Practical Guide to Thriving as Open Scientists in Neuroimaging

Navigating the complexities of academia as open scientists demands more than mastering reproducible workflows and open tools; it requires resilience in the face of systemic barriers and a steadfast commitment to fostering transparency
This talk offers a pragmatic guide tailored for Early Career Researchers, addressing challenges in neuroimaging research (fMRI and EEG) and the adoption of open science practices.
From curating datasets to publishing reproducible findings, we share lessons learned and practical strategies for aligning innovation with the principles of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data.
The talk concludes with actionable steps for integrating open standards and tools while fostering a research environment that prioritizes transparency, reliability, and collaborative progress.
