Hello, my name is Stephen Whitmarsh.

I manage the Data Analysis Core facility of the Paris Brain Institute (ICM). We provide bioinformatics support in analysing and managing neuroscience data, from multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics, to AI in microscopy and neuroimage analysis. We advocate and support open science practices, and ensure that valuable research data remains Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR).

I am scientific coordinator of an ANR-funded collaboration with MSH Paris Nord, Université Paris 8, CICM/MUSIDANSE, Soixante circuits, and Goldsmiths University of London, called the Brain Body Digital Music Instrument, in which we develop open-source software and hardware for sound synthesis and musical composition using neuroelectric signals (EEG, EMG). 

Since 2009, I’ve been exploring interdisciplinary art research, within the research collective OuUnPo, the art organization Vision Forum, the collective 1+1=3, and the EEGsynth, wherein we develop multisensory neurofeedback performances and produce contemporary sound experiments and workshops. We develop an open-source platform for brain-computer-interfaces.
