COINSTAC

COINSTAC is a software platform that makes it easier and more efficient to capture, manage and share neuroimages. It enables groups of users to run common analyses on their own machines over their own datasets with ease. The results of these analyses are synchronized to the cloud, and undergo aggregate analyses processes using all contributor data. Decentralized pipelines allow for distributed, iterative, and feature-rich analyses to be run, opening new and exciting capabilities for collaborative computation. It also offers data anonymity through differential privacy algorithms, so members do not need to fear PHI traceback.
