Abstract

Neuroinformatics is a new discipline which combines neuroscience with information technology. The Japan-Node of INCF was established at NIJC at RIKEN Brain Science Institute to address the task of integrating outstanding neuroscience researches in Japan. Each platform subcommittee from selected research areas develops their platform on the base-platform XooNIps. NIJC operates the J-Node portal to make platform resources open accessible in public. We introduce our concepts and the scheme of J-Node including several platforms toward understanding the brain.
