Abstract
Efforts for the sharing of neuroscientific data depend on the ability of researchers to intelligently organize and manage their study information prior to it being shared. This involves the need for software tools for investigators to use in visualization, navigation, and exploration of their study data in an easy and accessible manner in which they may quickly become familiar. Additionally, the method of information storage should be one that permits not only the individual investigator to manage their data locally but also permits ease of sharing that information with their colleagues at remote locations or with centralized data archives. In this chapter, we describe a suite of data-management tools for use in the organization, viewing, and sharing of functional magnetic resonance imaging data. Designed to be flexible and extensible, these software tools should help researchers organize their data more carefully, inspect their neuroimaging experimental data more closely, and share their data more readily.
