Why BrainHack

Project-based, multidisciplinary learning

Neuroimaging data requires both statistical and computational tools to be converted into neuroscience knowledge. These skills are much better acquired and solidified through practice. We call this process "brainhacking." Most of the brainhack training consists of working on a project openly and collaboratively.

Neuroimaging Data Science

The Brainhack School is a 4-weeks long full-time educational course at the interface of Neuroscience, Statistical modeling and Computer Science.
