Brainhack 2013 registration now open!
We are thrilled to draw your attention on the upcoming Brainhack 2013, which is
being held from October 23-26 at the Centre International d'Études
Pédagogiques, Sèvres, France (just outside of Paris).
Brainhack 2013 is a unique workshop with the goals of fostering
interdisciplinary collaboration and open neuroscience. The structure builds
from the concepts of an unconference and hackathon: The term “unconference”
refers to the fact that most of the content will be dynamically created by
the participants — a "hackathon" is an event where participants collaborate
intensively on projects.
Participants interested in neuroimaging from any discipline are welcome.
Ideal participants span in range from graduate students to professors
across any disciplines willing to contribute (e.g., mathematics, computer
science, engineering, neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, neurology,
medicine, art, etc…). The primary requirement is a desire to work in close
collaborations with people outside of your specialization in order to
address neuroscience questions that are beyond the expertise of a single
discipline.
One should come to brainhack ready to engage into collaborative projects,
and with some material (slides, ideas, data, tools) ready to start a
project or a discussion panel. Brainhack will build on the successful
techniques used in other unconferences to keep the meeting focused and
productive. It is possible to start a project and build a team as early as
today. Please have a look at the website for information on the conference
and a sample of projects (from Brainhack 2012): http://www.brainhack.org
