Assessing success
How can
one assess success of this project in the context of the Human Brain
Project? Assessment should be simple: at one level we can simply look at
patterns of usage of our web sites. Over the past six months use of <nervenet.org>
resources has surgedalmost entirely due to the addition of a highly
detailed atlas of C57BL/6J and to the MBLs image collection. In the
long run our success will be measured by the scientific breakthroughs this
work will facilitate and engender. We should expect a dense map of QTLs
that will provide the research community with a framework to explore the
genetic basis of structural differences in CNS. For Project 3 in
particular, one key metric to assess success is the accuracy of
segmentation and the accuracy of quantitative trait values
NeuroCartographer it will supply to the NTB (see Project 4). Finally, our
success will also be measured by the degree to which the approaches and
software we develop are adopted and modified by other neuroinformatics
centers.
