Given an (x,y,z,r) tell me everything you can about (x,y,z,r), especially including uncertainty of that information. Here are a few examples of information that could be returned:</p> <ul> <li>gene expression (and the uncertainty would be high if imputing and low if exactly at a probe location)</li> <li>cognitive atlas terms and therefore publications and derivatives associated with that location ( a la neurosynth)</li> <li>variation in cortical thickness</li> <li>functional connectivity</li> <li>likelihood of major fiber bundles in that location</li> <li>registration inconsistency/uncertainty</li> <li>cytoarchitecture variation (neuron types, etc.,.)</li> <li>associated disorders</li> <li>data from other species</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Judging criteria:</p> <ul> <li>Scientific impact</li> <li>Commitment to open availability of the resulting resource</li> <li>Extensibility</li> <li>Inclusion of quantified uncertainty</li> </ul> <p>Rules</p> <ul> <li>Participants must use publicly available data that is listed on the HBM Hackathon Blog. If a public dataset is not listed that you want to use, we would love to add it to the list, just contact us: hbm.hackathon@gmail.com</li> <li>Participants can use any computational resources available to them, but judging will take into account innovative use of cloud computing and how openly available the approach is (see Judging)</li> <li>At least one team leader/presenter must attend the meeting</li> <li>Off-site team members are allowed and encouraged, but will not be eligible for all resources made available to registered OHBM attendees (e.g., cloud computing credits)</li> </ul> en-us Copyright 2000-2026 NITRC OSI Tue, 07 Apr 2026 19:50:33 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss NITRC RSS generator
