| 38 | +Understanding the brain requires processing and analysing large, multidimensional datasets. |
| 39 | +Systems neuroscience, in particular, has undergone a drastic transformation, with individual labs now commonly generating terabytes or even petabytes of data annually. |
| 40 | +While there has been an increase in software tools to process this data, many of these tools are single-purpose, inadequately maintained, or poorly integrated with the broader software ecosystem. |
| 41 | +This talk will outline some of the tools we are developing for `computational neuroanatomy <https://brainglobe.info/>`__, `video behavioural analysis <https://movement.neuroinformatics.dev/>`__, and `data management <https://neuroblueprint.neuroinformatics.dev/>`__. |

| 43 | +About the speaker: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +Adam Tyson is the Head Research Engineer at the `Sainsbury Wellcome Centre <https://www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/>`__ and `Gatsby Computational Neuroscience <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/gatsby/gatsby-computational-neuroscience-unit>`__ Unit at University College London. |
| 46 | +He established the `Neuroinformatics Unit <https://neuroinformatics.dev/>`__, a research software engineering team dedicated to developing robust, maintainable, and user-friendly software tools for neuroscience and machine learning. |
| 47 | +Adam completed a PhD in neuroscience at King’s College London before working as a software developer at the Institute of Cancer Research and the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre. |
