Join the Challenge!
Are you interested in spinal cord injury and data science? Check out this year’s SCI data challenge v2.0. The challenges this year focus on predicting the full ISNCSCI examination results from measurements from the expedited version (E-ISNCSCI). This is an important question that can help inform when it is appropriate to perform the expedited version of the examination. Even if you new to either SCI or data science, this is a great opportunity to put together a team and jump in.
The challenge has two tracks. Participants can submit to one or both tracks. Winners for each track will be invited to present their solutions in San Antonio at the 2026 ASIA Annual Scientific Meeting. Read More
