[Neurobureau-hubs] URGENT: feedback request on neurobureau Brain-Art launch...

Thu Apr 21 08:31:51 PDT 2011

Hi Daniel,
No problem of limiting entires only to images. Just wanted to bring up the idea.

As for voting, there are at least two possibilities; with a small committee or open voting to all OHBM members. Since Pierre just brought us this great news that the art exhibition is an official OHBM event, we could potentially ask for the OHBM members to vote on their favorite art pieces online? What do you guys think?

Cheers,
Alex

My sense is for the first competition to keep things image-based, and if we receive a lot of interest in video, to specifically open that up for following years. Does that sound good to you? If you have other thoughts, let me know...
