Abstract

In this paper, we first present a brief summary of the Neuroscience Gateway (NSG) which has been in operation since 2013. NSG is providing computational neuroscientists access to Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) high performance computing (HPC) resources. As a part of running the NSG we have interacted closely with the neuroscience community. This has given us the opportunity to receive input and feedback from the neuroscience researchers regarding their cyberinfrastructure needs. This is now more important given the context of the BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) Initiative which is a national initiative announced in 2013. Based on this interaction with the neuroscience community and the input we have received for the last three years, we analyze the comprehensive cyberinfrastructure needs of the neuroscience community in the second part of the paper.
