Dear OHBM Community,

In 2014 OHBM Council created the Committee on Best Practices in Data Analysis and Sharing (COBIDAS), to identify best practices of data analysis and data sharing in the brain mapping community, prepare a white paper organizing these practices, and seek input from the OHBM community before ultimately publishing these recommendations.

At long last, the COBIDAS report focused on best practices in MRI is ready for your review and input.  Please visit the COBIDAS page to view this “Proposed Final” document and provide your feedback.  There you will find a link to submit your feedback, or you can send documents to info@humanbrainmapping.org (please include “COBIDAS” in the subject line).

Please send comments and suggested revisions by November 17, 2015.  At that time, COBIDAS will review all feedback and begin creating the “Final” COBIDAS report.  Once the final document is available, it will be posted again for the OHBM community to review and provide a Yes/No vote of your support for the report.  If approved, the final document will then be submitted for publication.

While many MRI guidelines have been produced over the years, this is a comprehensive and collaborative approach that is seeking input and ratification from the entire OHBM community. 

Your input and involvement is needed to make the final COBIDAS report a success!  Read and comment on the Proposed Final draft and encourage your colleagues to do the same.  Please use this COBIDAS link (http://www.humanbrainmapping.org/cobidas) when sharing via social media.

Sincerely,
