Understanding anesthetic effects in preclinical fMRI is key to produce significant findings. Over the last decades massive amounts of data have been produced on anesthesia, yet major portions lie idle to the community. Here we introduce an open, community driven infrastructure that combines the wiki principle (dynamic creating, correcting, commenting) with a powerful dynamic databank approach (fast and easy search, and network visualization of related findings) on anesthetic effects. OpenMind provides (1) convenient data upload, (2) fast and efficient search and filter functions, (3) embedding of findings in a larger dynamic context, and (4) low maintenance.

How to access this content:

For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.

After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.

After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
