OVERVIEW
The La Jolla International Brain Initiative (IBI) meeting on November 2 marked the final in-person gathering of the IBI Coordinating Body in 2018. This followed on the IBI meeting achievements in May 2018 in Daegu and Seoul, Korea, hosted by the Korea Brain Initiative, and in July 2018 in Deneva, Switzerland, hosted by the E.U. Human Brain Project. These earlier meetings resulted in the drafting of the Vision and Aspirational Goals of the IBI, and discussion of established and emerging working groups, including a global inventory of brain projects, neuroethics, data sharing & standards, tool & technology dissemination, training & education, communication & outreach, and the IBI Coordinating Body framework.
Key topics for discussion at this final 2018 meeting included the IBI meeting roadmap for 2019, the IBI organizational structure, and presentations from the established and emerging working groups based on completed scoping documents.
