Guy Rouleau, the director of McGill University's Montreal Neurological
Institute (MNI) and Hospital in Canada, is frustrated with how slowly
neuroscience research translates into treatments. “We're doing a really
shitty job,” he says. “It's not because we're not trying; it has to do with
the complexity of the problem.”

The Montreal Neurological Institute plans to free up its findings, including data that point to connections between brain regions communicating at different neural rhythms.

So he and his colleagues at the renowned institute decided to try a
radical solution. Starting this year, any work done there will conform to the
principles of the “open-science” movement—all results and data will
be made freely available at the time of publication, for example, and the
institute will not pursue patents on any of its discoveries.
Although some large-scale initiatives like the government-funded
Human Genome Project have made all data completely open,
MNI will be the first scientific institute to follow that path, Rouleau says./.../
