+ The 2011 survery of software usage in neuroscience research
+*************************************************************
+
+In May 2011, we conducted an online survey in which we asked neuroscientists to
+share some details about their computing environments. We were interested in
+what operating systems they are using do conduct their research.  In what
+environments they are working, for what fraction of their time? How long they
+need to spend on non-research maintenance activies? And we asked them about
+their opinion on certain aspects of the operating systems they are using.
+Finally we also wanted to know where they obtain the software they need, and
+which particular applications they are using.
+
+Within 12 days, a total of 583 participants from 44 countries responded to the
+survey. The main results of this survey have been published in the journal
+`Frontiers in Neuroinformatics`:
+
+  Hanke, M. & Halchenko, Y. O. (2011). `Neuroscience runs on GNU/Linux
