The unique brain initiative has been developed by the DBT-National Brain Research Centre (DBT-NBRC), Gurgaon, Haryana. DBT-NBRC has developed several clinical research tools through SWADESH. GAURI system uses adaptive pattern recognition and learning schemes for predictive single or differential diagnosis, designed with MRI modalities and neuropsychological batteries. NINS-STAT is a high-performance state-of-the-art automated statistical test selection and execution software package with high applicability in clinical research.
SWADESH brings big-data architecture and analytics for various neurological disease under one platform. It will enable the researchers in conducting multimodal brain studies to understand and manage Alzheimer’s disease and several neurological disorders. DBT-NBRC is the only institute in India dedicated to Neuroscience Research and Education.
