Why BrainHack

Project-based, multidisciplinary learning

Neuroimaging data require both statistical and computational tools to be converted into neuroscience knowledge. These brain hacking skills are much better acquired and solidified through practice. Most of the training will consist in working on a project openly and collaboratively.

Neuroimaging Data Science

The brainhack school is a 3-weeks long full-time educational retreat at the interface of Neuroscience, Statistical modeling and Computer Science.

Not a bootcamp

Self-directed, educational retreat for neuroimaging data scientists

It is similar to a writer's retreat or work sabbatical. Researchers of all experience levels join us in Montreal to spend one to three weeks getting better, however they see fit. Participants have access to top work environment and computational facilities. Most importantly, the brainhack school community is here to help.
