Cloud-Oriented NeuroImaging with BrainForge: Auto Group ICA, Managed Study Integration, and Beyond

Researchers working with contemporary neuroimaging studies often manage large amounts of data that are processed through numerous analysis and preprocessing pipelines. As data from many studies accumulate over time, local storage and analysis becomes burdensome. To solve these issues, many research groups are turning to cloud-based solutions not only for data storage, but also for performing various analysis steps, and obtaining important research results. In this work, we present BrainForge, a research-oriented, BIDS-compliant web platform for the management and analysis of NeuroImaging data.
