— The early bird registration extended to 15th October2017 —

On the weekend of 17-19th November 2017, the first edition of AoN Brainhack Warsaw will take place. During this three-day event dedicated to students and PhD students, we will work in teams on neuroscience-related projects.

The aim of the event is to meet new, enthusiastic researchers, make new friendships in academia, learn, share the knowledge on data mining and brain research, but also promote open science in the spirit of the whole Brainhack community (Craddock et al., 2016). Attendees of various backgrounds are welcome to join!

Please note AoN Brainhack Warsaw 2017 is a satellite event for the interdisciplinary Aspects of Neuroscience conference which will take place on 24-26th November 2017 in Warsaw. Participation in the conference is not mandatory to take part in Brainhack but we encourage to also consider this.

Below you could see list of projects which will be realised during our three day event:

1. Functional connectivity research: can we find a common ground?

2. Detecting trypophobia triggers

3. Development of video game for studying joint action dynamics

4. Training a human-like movie evaluation system based on the semantic features of the storylines

5. Hypothesis­-driven white matter tractography from T1­-weighted MRI images

6. One channel EEG sleep staging with open source and open hardware NeuroOn sleep mask

7. Building a brain-ageing biomarker using machine learning

8. Building and using the “FlyPi”: the 3D-printed Neurobiology Lab

‘Early bird’ registration for project participants, closes on 15th October 2017. The applications will be reviewed and the notification of acceptance will be sent to the applicants until 20th October2017.

We welcome everyone at the AoN Brainhack Warsaw 2017 event. We would like to prepare the equipment and the clusters properly before the event, therefore we are asking the participants to register in advance and choose the projects of their preference. We will do our best to make sure that everyone can take part in the project they like, and that the projects are well prepared for the participants. In any case, we welcome everyone to come, watch the event and help us at the first Brainhack in the history of AoN conference!

A registration fee of 25EUR (or 100PLN) will be requested upon acceptance. The registration fee will be spent on the catering during the event.
