Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative (NIfTI)

The Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative (NIfTI) is a standard for organizing and sharing brain imaging data, such as MRI scans. Developed by scientists, NIfTI helps ensure that images and associated information are stored consistently, making it easier for researchers to analyze and compare results across studies. This standardization promotes collaboration and advances in neuroscience by allowing different software and systems to effectively work together, ultimately improving our understanding of the brain and its functions through better data accessibility and management.
