The INCF international network currently spans North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. INCF fosters the global digital interconnectivity of data, methods and people engaged in brain research to catalyze insights into brain function in health and disease.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Malin Sandström, PhD<br>Community Engagement Officer<br><a href="mailto:malin.sandstrom@incf.org" target="_blank">malin.sandstrom@incf.org</a><br><br>International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility<br>Karolinska Institutet<br>Nobels väg 15 A<br>SE-171 77 Stockholm<br>Sweden<br><a href="http://www.incf.org" target="_blank">http://www.incf.org</a><br><br></div><div><span><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/incf.org/uc?id=0BwPup4_u1Hm_MzJMN3pxenV4eXc&export=download" width="420" height="49"></span></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
