NeuroML Scientific Committee#

The responsibilities of the NeuroML Scientific Committee are:

  • To advise on the scientific focus of the NeuroML initiative; to ensure that the structure of the language is based on the latest knowledge of neuronal anatomy and physiology.

  • To agree on the technical implementation for the core specifications (in collaboration with the NeuroML Editorial Board) and to ensure that best practices are encouraged in model specification.

  • To promote NeuroML internationally, both the core specifications and the tools which support the language.

  • To define the governance structure of the NeuroML Initiative and outline a path towards a specification process with dedicated, elected editors.

  • To engage with other standardisation and databasing initiatives in the computational neuroscience and wider biology fields.

  • To review and agree on extensions to the core specifications and the scope of the initiative; to address issues the community raises regarding the direction of the initiative.
