GEMRIC

Within GEMRIC we have the world's largest data sample with clinical and MRI neuroimaging data before and after ECT - our initial study will include up to 550 subjects (including controls). In our next study we aim at increasing the sample size to 2000 subjects. GEMRIC uses state-of-the-art imaging tools, developed in a world leading laboratory (Dr. Anders M Dale, UCSD) as well as tools developed by GEMRIC collaborators. Instead of distributing data among collaborators, our philosophy is to port all data to a common data portal for pooled mega-analysis using advanced image-analysis pipelines that are shared and implemented on this server. This way, data security can be kept at a very high level while at the same time almost any analysis pipeline can be used. Pipelines are set up as Docker containers - which means standardization, independence of operating systems and reproducible results... Good memories from Bergen in September! More than 50 participants from 27 groups, 15 GEMRIC..
