RIKEN

Chair: Yoshihiro Okumura

Brainhack Global 2017 Japan will be held at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute for 3 days (March 2-4, including Hinamatsuri festival) during this period.

Brainhack Global 2017 Japan is an event where researchers have an opportunity to collaborate on projects and related developments, share knowledge and engage in cooperative planning. The central theme for this event is thus cooperation and joint development with a goal towards promoting compatibility between existing systems and the creation of common formats. We hope this event will spur the development of common APIs and services such as Web-based information visualization and image processing systems.

During this period you may share information using the dedicated channel #bhg17-japan in the Brainhack Slack Site.

We call for participation from young researchers, students and engineers who are currently involved in brain sciences as well as those who are interested in this field.

March 2-4

Cruces University Hospital

Chair: Asier Erramuzpe Aliaga

Brainhack Global's local event in Bilbao will be a 3-day workshop held between March 2nd - 4th at Cruces University Hospital, Bizkaia, Spain. Brainhack events convenes researchers from a myriad of disciplines to work together on projects related to neuroscience. Similar to hackathons in the tech sector, much of the schedule is left open for attendees to work together on projects of their choosing. We also include “unconference” sessions where talks are chosen by the attendees based on their interests as they evolve throughout the meeting. Brainhacks are not “coding sprints” or exclusive to programmers, but rather are open to brain scientists from all backgrounds.

We will have 4 invited speakers: Bernard Mazoyer (Director of GIN in Bourdeaux), Enzo Tagliazucchi and Paulo Rodrgues and Vesna Prchkovska (CEO and Co-founders of Mint-Labs).

Working papers on the outcomes from Brainhack can appear in the Gigascience Brainhack Thematic Series, and shorter project reports from the event are eligible for the annual Brainhack Proceedings.

Registration is free for students <30 and 150€ for others (we have some fee grants for >30 under request). To register, please do it through this link .

University Centre, Cambridge

Chair: Kirstie Whitaker

The Cambridge satellite event will bring together researchers from across the University and research institutes. Participants are encouraged to self organise their activities but some suggestions include:

  • Work in teams through openly available tutorials for neuroimaging analyses
  • Work in teams through roadblocks in your analyses that are holding up your research
  • Add a feature to some open source code that you want to update
  • Develop a new workflow on old data, or an old workflow on new data
  • Build collaborations between people in different departments
  • Use the global brainhack network to access openly available data for your analyses

The three days will also include unconference opportunities to promote and share skills, knowledge and opportunities with the community along with four featured speakers (TBD).

We will be in the Higgs Room at the University Centre for this event. They have lots of space for us to work collaboratively with good wifi.

We are very grateful to the Wellcome Trust, the Mozilla Science Lab, Overleaf and the University of Cambridge Department of Psychiatry for sponsoring our great location and the drinks, snacks, lunch and lots of coffee for the three days of Cambridge Brainhack.

York Neuroimaging Centre

Chair: Deniz Vatansever

Registration for the very first Brainhack York event is now OPEN.

Organised as part of the Brainhack Global 2017, this 4-day workshop will be held between the 2nd and 5th March at the York Neuroimaging Centre, providing an opportunity for brain scientists from York to interact with researchers worldwide in a collaborative environment. The major aim of Brainhack events is to allow attendees to work together on neuroimaging projects of their choosing and to discuss ideas, analysis techniques, ask and answer scientific questions using openly available data.

In line with our site-specific theme: “Brain Connectivity and Open Science Tools”, Brainhack York will feature small tutorials on big data analysis, discussions on resting state and task-based neuroimaging, best practices in using open science tools, small unconference talks and open hacking sessions for attendees to work on neuroimaging projects.

Raw and preprocessed versions of neuroimaging data from big cohort studies will be available locally during the event, though attendees are welcome to bring their own data for analysis. The bulk of this workshop will focus on fMRI. However, if interested, attendees are encouraged to work on other modalities, including but not limited to MEG and EEG. There is no “coding expertise” required and brain scientists from all backgrounds can and will make significant contribution to the projects.

Registration is FREE and includes lunch and refreshments on each of the four days as well as a social event that will be organised at the venue. For more information and to register, please visit the event website: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/events/brainhack or e-mail deniz.vatansever@york.ac.uk.

NIMH

Chair: Javier Gonzalez-Castillo

A Brainhack, part of the Brainhack Global Effort (http://events.brainhack.org/global2017/), will take place on the NIMH campus in Bethesda, MD on March 2nd and 3rd, 2017. Brainhacks are unique events that convene researchers from across the globe and a myriad of disciplines to work together on innovative projects related to neuroscience. Please join us for this 2-day event and become part of this community of brain enthusiasts working on real neuroscience research problems. At Brainhack@NIMH you will have an opportunity to learn about alternative data analyses, build new analysis and visualizations tools and help materialize new research ideas. All this while you build strong collaborations with fellow neuroscientists from the local Washington region.

In contrast to traditional conferences, which are structured around the lecturer-audience paradigm, Brainhacks are designed to maximize interactions between all participants. To do so, Brainhacks gravitate around real-life neuroscience projects in which attendees work on a highly collaborative manner for the duration of the event.

How does it work? Brainhack@NIMH welcomes project proposals related to neuroscience including projects on big data analytics, machine learning, and neurofeedback. Attendees are encouraged to pitch their own projects during the opening remarks. After project pitches, attendees will choose a project to “hack” with. Brainhacking will occur for two full days during which you will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from other experts with a shared interest in neuroscience and open science. Working sessions will be accompanied by small “unconferences” during which group leaders will provide project reports and receive feedback from all brainhackers. At the conclusion of the Brainhack, you will have contributed to the sprouting of new projects and tools that will help advance neuroscientific research.

Registration for the Brainhack@NIMH is now open. This event is free. No meals will be provided. Attendees can bring their own meals or buy them at any of the on-campus cafeterias. We will not provide computers, so all attendees must bring their own laptops to brainhack. This event has limited attendance, so please sign up only if you are certain that you will be attending and actively participating in the event. If you change your mind, please inform the Brainhack@NIMH organizers (email to: BRAINHACK2017@mail.nih.gov) so that we can make your seat available to somebody else.
