About us

Building on decades of experience developing widely used, large-scale informatics solutions in the neurosciences, the team behind DABI launched a new archive in 2018 to ingest, aggregate, store, visualize, and disseminate human invasive neurophysiology data. The DABI repository, which also houses synchronized behavioral, imaging, demographic, and other vital data, is specifically designed to help BRAIN Initiative researchers organize and analyze their data while meeting data‑sharing directives from federal agencies and their respective institutions.

Principal Investigators

Arthur Toga, Phd

Director, Laboratory of Neuro Imaging Director, USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute Provost Professor of Ophthalmology, Neurology, Psychiatry and the Behavioral Sciences, Radiology and Engineering, Keck School of Medicine of USC Ghada Irani Chair in Neuroscience. Dr. Toga has led and co-led numerous projects that involve multi-site acquisition of data, coordination of analysis, and dissemination of data and results, including the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative, and the Human Connectome Project.

Dominique Duncan, PhD

Associate Professor of Neurology, Bioengineering, and Neurosurgery at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Duncan is trained in mathematics and electrical engineering, and she has developed innovative mathematical and statistical methods to visualize complex associations among multiple variables as they evolve over time. She has performed extensive research with electrophysiological and imaging data. Dr. Duncan has built large-scale, multimodal data archives and associated analytic tools for various applications, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and COVID-19.

Nader Pouratian, MD, PhD

Lois C.A. and Darwin E. Smith Distinguished Chair in Neurological Surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Pouratian has been awarded three BRAIN Initiative grants—one with three sites—and is a researcher with first-hand knowledge of invasive human neurophysiology requirements with a history of collaborating with Dr. Toga and Dr. Duncan at LONI on related big data projects.
