If you would like to host a Brainhack Global event, but cannot do it in this time frame, you can still be apart of Brainhack Global. Video content from different events will be available online for you to show, and members of the Brainhack community will be more than happy to connect with you over video conference for a ignite talk. Could this be the year that the sun never sets on Brainhack? Brainhack events are collaborative workshops that bring together researchers from disparate backgrounds to work on Neuroscience projects. Bulding on the success of last year, Brainhack Global 2018 will feature local events occuring over the same period so that they can share content using a variety of collaborative tools. In addition to time spent collaborating on neuroscience projects, activities at the Brainhack Global will include: Tutorials on computational skills that are aimed at streamlining your research and making it more reproducible Keynotes from local neuroscience and methods researchers Video content from events occurring other Brainhack Global locations Open conference sessions during which attendees can present their research If you are interested in this event there are now two ways you can be involved. 1.
