Under the INCF Japan-node, we now have 12 brain and neuroscience related Platform(PF)s which are operating in collaboration with 55 universities and institutes. The PFs promote sharing and integrating neuroscientific data over the Internet. The primary function of the PFs is to improve the reproducibility of published research. For example, Visiome PF provides original digital resources such as a single neuron model, visual system models, Matlab scripts for processing vision science data, and users even can download for test and/or reuse the published results for their own research. The PF also provides contents to learn vision science by watching tutorials, e.g., Visiome channel on YouTube and Visual illusion site which open not only for research-oriented but also for education-oriented uses. Simulation-PF has been developed to archive and browse the PF contents under a user friendly cloud-based simulation environment via a web browser. Simulation-PF users can learn computer operating skills and programming skills as well as basic neurosience field for utilizing downloaded contents on the PFs. We discuss the future role of the platforms through some representative works.
