Gold standard neuron data with both images and gold reconstructions
This release contains 166 BigNeuron neuron datasets with "gold" standard reconstructions and respective raw image stacks. These image datasets were originally contributed by a number of labs around the world and then standardized and reconstructions by 6~7 annotators during the BigNeuron Annotation workshop held at Allen Institute for Brain Science, Seattle, in June 2015.
