The African Brain Data Network (ABDN) is a network of stakeholders from academia, industry, policy, and funding working together to facilitate the responsible generation, processing, sharing, and use of African brain data for research and innovation.

The Network seeks to make African brain data FAIR and ensure that a sufficient number of experts are trained on the use of novel technical tools to collect, process, and apply these datasets. From neuroimages, electrophysiological and anatomical data to behavioral data, this network hopes to make different data modalities, and disease types from multiple animal and non-animal organisms available and lead the African neuroscience ecosystem into the era of big data analysis.

Why do we need FAIR African brain data?

To...

  • Provide a robust understanding of brain diseases in Africa
  • Ensure that brain therapies, innovations and care are generalisable to the African population
  • Ensure reproducibility of brain research in Africa
  • Reduce cost of data generation

What we do

At ABDN we facilitate responsible generation, sharing, and utilization of African brain data across academia, industry, policy, and funding sectors. We prioritize making data FAIR and training experts in modern tools for data analysis. Our focus spans diverse data modalities and disease types, aiming to advance African neuroscience into the era of big data analysis.
