This is a reminder that you can still apply to participate in the first installment of Neurohackweek, a 5 day hands-on workshop, unconference and hackathon held at the University of Washington eScience Institute in Seattle (September 5th-9th, 2016).
Neurohackweek will focus on technologies used to analyze human neuroimaging data, on methods used to extract information from large datasets of publicly available data (such as the NKI Enhanced, Human Connectome Project, OpenfMRI, etc.), and on tools for making neuroimaging research open and reproducible. Morning sessions will be devoted to lectures and hands-on guided tutorials, and afternoon sessions will be devoted to participant-directed (unconference <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference>) activities: work on team projects, hackathon sessions, and breakout sessions on topics of interest. To apply: http://neurohackweek.github.io/ Accepted applicants will be asked to pay a fee of $200 upon final registration (June 1st). This fee will include participation in the course, accommodation in the UW dorms, and two meals a day (breakfast and lunch), for the duration of the course. A limited number of fee waivers and travel grants will be available. We encourage students with financial need and students from groups that are underrepresented in neuroimaging and data science to apply for these grants (email with a statement of interest to: [email protected]) Thanks to funding from the OHBM open science special interest group, participants will be able to submit peer-reviewed progress reports, reporting on their project, to be published as part of Brainhack Proceedings series at Gigascience: https://gigascience.biomedcentral.com/new-content-item Important dates: April 18th: Deadline for applications to participate May 6th: Notification of acceptance June 1st: Final registration deadline _______________________________________________ HCP-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.humanconnectome.org/mailman/listinfo/hcp-users
