Solving Alzheimer’s and related disorders globally

What happens to all the brain scans when a neuroscience study is over? Are the images stored? Can another researcher run the same algorithm from the study, but on a different set of brain images? And if a researcher in India accessed brain scans taken in the UK, for example, would there be enough supporting clinical and image data to make it useful? In February, a high-level workshop was held in Geneva, Switzerland, to address these issues.

Your iSGTW correspondants interviewed several partipants on video, and you can view these in the article.

Does computation threaten the scientific method?

Bug-free code is an impossibility. So, how can researchers know when the bugs in their code are minor, with no real impact, or show-stoppers that completely change the entire result?
