The second goal of the Open TCI Initiative is to bring together investigators from around the world to create a database of data sets for the purposes of both understanding the strengths and weaknesses of existing models, and potentially for creating unifying models that can become the basis for the next generation of TCI devices.

The Open TCI Initiative was developed initially by Dr Charles Minto (Sydney, Australia) & Professor Thomas Schnider (St Gallen, Switzerland) based on many discussions over the past years. This opentci.org website was born on 6 January 2008.
The three main goals of the Open TCI Initiative were further developed in discussion with our mentor, Professor Steven L. Shafer, on 17 January 2008 and others at the first meeting in Cape Town on 3 March 2008.
