Abstract (EN): The present paper describes the Portuguese National Brain Imaging Network designed to join R&D efforts of four Portuguese universities (Aveiro, Coimbra, Minho and Porto) in this emergent scientific area. This is an open initiative, already funded in 81.3% of its predicted investment (similar to 4.3 million E) for the first 5 years of operation, opened to the participation of other national institutions. This area of neuroscience uses several types of datasets from different medical imaging modalities and biosignals. MRI/MRS and fMRI volumes along with high-resolution EEG are our main targets for the first 5 years of operation and can easily reach the GByte size for a patient study. The Brain Imaging Network Grid (BING) will provide the support to a "neuroscientist-friendly" web portal where neuroscientists can submit brain imaging datasets for different analysis protocols. We will focus the present paper on the description of the consortium, its objectives and the network and Grid services architecture designs that will provide both the computational resources and the federated large data repository for the Portuguese national wide neuroscience scientific community.
