Brainhack conference at the Institut Pasteur from February 24 to 26

brainhack.png Brainhack is a unique conference that convenes researchers from across the globe and across disciplines to work together on innovative projects related to neuroscience. Year after year, Brainhack events have brought together researchers to participate in open collaboration. This year Brainhack is organized at the Institut Pasteur by the Group of Applied and Theoretical Neuroanatomy of the Human Genetics and Cognitive Function Unit, with the help of the Center for Translational Science.

BrainHack will invest modules 1-3 under our canteen, and bring together neuroscientists, clinicians and artists to work on participant-initiated projects during 3 days of intense 24h/24 interaction. Among the projects being discussed we have tutorials on brain imaging and machine learning, white matter tractography, real-time analysis of electroencephalographic data, but also an art-science exhibition, data sonification projects, crowdsourcing comparative neuroanatomy and augmented reality projects for data visualisation. We will make available large, open, dataset to work on, including data from the Human Connectome Project, ABIDE (autism neuroimaging), Functional Connectivity 1000 and from the Allen Brain Institute.

If you are curious and interested in this new type of collaborative science gathering, Brainhack will be open to the public the Friday 26th from 12am till 2 pm.
