Why OSCL?

  • Learn from peers and from other disciplines; your colleague down the hallway may have hands-on experience, your colleague from another faculty may tell you how their field solved an issue.
  • Discuss and stay updated with recent advances; There are a lot of new terms and keeping up is both necessary and time-consuming.
    • Mentor others; there are always people who are newer to things than you are—help them.

Sharing & archiving MRI data

Today: Hackathon

9 of 24

Aims of today

  • identify problems

  • identify what we need to solve problems

  • where to go from here

  • (if time: start formulating solutions)

Who are you?

Program

  • Some background:
    • Privacy (GDPR / AVG)
    • Take of: Sander Nieuwenhuis
    • Platforms (Roelof van der Kleij)
  • Brainstorm: main issues
  • Break
  • Brainstorm: what needed to solve issues?
  • If time: Brainstorm: formulating solutions

Privacy (GDPR)

  • Personal data: can be traced back to a person
    • Process & share: base on lawful ground, e.g.,:
      • Informed consent (prior to start research)
      • “Public interest”
    • Pseudonymous = still personal data

  • Anonymous data: cannot be traced back to a person → no personal data
    • Process & share: allowed

13 of 24

Privacy & MRI data

  • Raw MRI data: personal

  • Deidentification:
    • file names
    • header files

(names, acquisition dates)

    • defacing tools

  • Deidentified ≠ anonymous?
    • Anonymous to whom? Researcher/user/both?
    • Now vs. future (e.g., machine-learning)

Platforms

  • Publication packages (mandatory):

all that belongs to a publication

  • ✅ Persistent identifier; long-term

storage; public/on request

  • Data limit

16 of 24

  • Project management / workflow
  • ✅ Persistent identifier; long-term storage; public/by request/private
  • ❌ 5 GBs per file

17 of 24

  • Raw (deidentified) MRI data storage and sharing
  • ✅ Persistent identifier; long-term

storage; no size limit; machine-readable (BIDS format)

  • ❌ Always public after 3 years, USA-based

18 of 24

  • Unthresholded statistical maps, parcellations, and atlases of the brain | Can belong to a publication
  • ✅ Persistent identifier; long-term storage; no size limit; allows meta-analyses; anonymous data
  • ❌ Only group-based data (e.g. contrasts)

Brainstorm 1

Which issues would/do/can you run into when attempting to share and/or archive MRI data?

  • Small groups, 4-6

  • E.g.,:
    • No knowledge/information/experience
    • No storage space (platforms)
    • No consent asked (privacy)
    • Which data to share? (e.g., student vs. patient, raw, preprocessed, first level, second level)
    • How to connect to other research output?
    • … etc.

Brainstorm 2

What do you need to be able to solve these issues?

  • Small groups, 4-6

  • E.g.,:
    • More information
    • Someone to help
    • Storage space
    • Better informed consent forms
    • … etc.

Brainstorm 3

(only if time)

Formulating solutions

  • Small groups, 4-6

  • E.g.,:
    • Draft IC forms
    • Work out step-by-step plan: how to?
    • Work out an example case
    • Choose best suitable platform at the moment
    • … etc.
