**********************************
Welcome to the G-Node Data Portal!
**********************************

G-Node Data Portal (GNData) is a platform for Neuroscientists to facilitate data access, data storage, data analysis and exchange. With GNData you may store and efficiently organize your experimental data, exchange data with collaborators, search for published data or scientists with similar interests. 

Start by reading the GNData :doc:`overview <overview>`.

You may sign up and instantly `try the platform <http://test.g-node.org>`_ via web browser with the user "demo" and password "demo". If you are interested in using the platform from the Matlab or Python, consider our tutorials (`matlab <https://github.com/G-Node/gnode-client-matlab/wiki/Getting-started>`_, `python <http://g-node.github.io/python-gnode-client/getting_started.html>`_). If you are interested in the common DATA API, please start exploring :doc:`the principles here <key_functions/data_api/principles>`.
