First-day presentation

Learn! Hack! Discuss! Share!

In full brainhack spirit, there will be:

Training

Tutorials, resources, and hands-on sessions for neuroimaging tools and methods. From how-to-code (python! julia! version control!) to how-to-plot: we got you covered!

Projects

Lots of free hacking time to tinker with a project of your choice. You can browse already submitted projects and get ready to pitch your own during our first day

Unconferences

Short sessions to present your research or discuss topics of interest in an informal setting. We’re planning on having debates on the future of scientific journals & conferences: bring your best questions and suggestions!

Socials

Meet or check-in with experts and peers, share ideas, and plant the seeds of future collaborations. There’s gonna be a gathertown space full of games and a trivia night! We’ll miss the physical high-fives, but we’ll be there for you!
