<div dir="ltr"><div>@Cameron agreed, 2 weeks is more realistic. </div><div><br></div>@Daniel, re Banff, there have an on-going program to host workshops in mathematics. They may have a long workshop format, I'll look into it. For locations, the problem is not much different than hosting a traditional brainhack, with maybe more emphasis on local attendants.<div><br></div><div>@Roberto </div><div>Re Nifti, that's recoding nii2mnc, or even re-inventing the minc format. Looks like some folks are taking this task seriously:</div><div><a href="http://www.frontiersin.org/10.3389/conf.fninf.2013.09.00069/event_abstract">http://www.frontiersin.org/10.3389/conf.fninf.2013.09.00069/event_abstract</a></div><div><br></div><div>Re FSL, you never know what we'll discover.</div><div><a href="http://youtu.be/HdWRTleizFU?t=10m54s">http://youtu.be/HdWRTleizFU?t=10m54s</a></div><div> <br></div><div>Re HCP, trying to test the level of actual security of their database may indeed be interesting & useful. </div><div><br></div><div><div>Now, regarding what this brainhack school would look like, I guess it would be like a longer version of brainhack, with most of the time devoted for attendants to work on their own projects, self-initiated and managed. We would still have well identified education talks & experts of various tools available onsite, some general (version control, programming) and some more specialized (e.g. AFNI), again very much like brainhack. We could also have some more maker-oriented resources, such as 3D printing, EEG set, or even an MRI depending on the location (I am pretty sure this could be arranged in Montreal or Leipzig for example). Maybe even a vibrating shirt, who knows. In two weeks, participants may be able to take advantage of the availability of large datasets and computational resources, which has not been the case in the short version of brainhack. Also, unlike the short brainhack, participants may be able to actually deliver a concrete output. Finally, the event should be family friendly for obvious reasons :) I'm sure my kids could totally work their way through a two weeks lego projects, especially if we throw in some quadropters as well. </div></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Pierre Bellec <a href="http://simexp-lab.org/brainwiki/doku.php?id=pierrebellec" style="font-size:12.8000001907349px" target="_blank">http://simexp-lab.org/brainwiki/doku.php?id=pierrebellec</a><div>Telephone (1) 514 713 5596<br><div>SIMEXP lab <a href="http://simexp-lab.org" target="_blank">http://simexp-lab.org</a></div></div></div></div></div>
