Big Data
The generation of scientific data is highly distributed and accomplished by an "invisible college" of scientists working alone or in small groups. Acknowledging the era of "big data," the National Institutes of Health Strategic Plan (2016) notes that "[a]dvances in storage, communications, and processing have led to new research methods and tools that were simply not possible just a decade ago. Machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and virtual-reality technologies are examples of data-related innovations that may yield transformative changes in biomedical research over the coming decade." To which the PsySiP Project can add the digital data revolution has also introduced major upheavals in the work of social and behavioral scientists and humanitists.
The PsySiP Project began its foray into the new era of "big data" in 2016 through our affiliation with the National Science Foundation's South "Big Data" Hub since 2016 and with the IEA-EBC Annex 66 Project on Occupant Behavior in Buildings. In 2018, we extended our work to include attention to the psychology of research and training in the world of "big data."
