Summary:

[From Google's English] "In contrast to the widespread competitive behavior in research to keep data under lock and key material, the researchers take a different path in Magdeburg. The psychologist Professor Michael Hanke of the Working Group Psycho computer science at the Otto-von-Guericke University , Dr. Joerg Stadler from the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology and colleagues present their raw data freely available . In the electronic journal Scientific Data from the Nature Publishing Group, the team has it on 27 May published ... The project involves the processing of acoustic stimuli. In the study, the scientists the subjects have a Hörfilmversiondemonstrated the classic Forrest Gump, while researchers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have captured the brain activity of test candidates in the processing of language, music, emotions, memories and pictorial representations.  The record thus reflects not only an isolated brain activity contrary, it says in the releaseof project coordination, but reflecting the actual complexity of the information flow in everyday listening experiences. In addition to the entire fMRI data, the scientists provide comprehensive anatomical descriptions of the brains of all trial participants are available, as well as readings on breathing and heartbeat. 'They show the points at which the film the audience excited or relaxed was' the researchers continued.In order to foster such interdisciplinary projects, the Magdeburg has the Center for Behavioral Brain Sciences awarded a prize of 5000 Euros for the best utilization of the published record.  It is part of the German-American research project 'Development of universal, high-dimensional models of neural representational spaces' involved scientists from the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, Dartmouth College (USA) and Princeton University (USA) . This in turn is part of the National Bernstein Network . Since 2004, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is funding this initiative with the new scientific discipline of computational neuroscience, with over 180 million euros.The network is named after the German physiologist Julius Bernstein named (1839-1917)."
