SPARC seeks to advance scientific understanding and improve clinical outcomes by providing a leading platform for integrating data, knowledge, computational modeling, and mapping of the peripheral nervous system, its CNS interactions, and related physiological processes.

Goals:

• Enhance and expand the SPARC Portal as a leading FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) open-science infrastructure with a focus on bridging the body and brain.
• Drive advancements in neurophysiology, bioelectronic medicine, and related fields through the development of collaborative, high-impact research tools.
• Further exchange between interested parties, as well as the cohesion and growth of a corresponding research community.
