How to Access the Eyewire II Dataset

Once you feel comfortable making edits in the Sandbox, it’s time to request access to the actual Eyewire II Dataset!

How to Gain Access to the Dataset:

  1. Create 10 edit suggestions on any cells that are not the default tutorial cells. Do not make the edits.
    • 7 Sandbox links for locations with accidental mergers, placing Multicut points to show where you would cut
    • 3 links showing places where an accidental split occurred, with the two objects turned on that you would suggest merging
    • Use the Share button (at the top right of the page) to generate a link to each suggested edit.
  2. Submit these 10 links to Eyewire II Dataset Access form. We will review them and send you personalized feedback.
  3. Based on your submissions, you will either be invited to the EyewireII Dataset or asked to submit a few more demo edits.

Don’t worry if it takes more than one try; Eyewire II takes some adjusting from Eyewire. You will never be locked out and there is no limit on the number of times you can attempt to gain access. If you’re uncomfortable submitting these edits after playing around in Sandbox for 2 weeks, please reach out.
