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

[Daniel Margulies]

Hi Clare, 

Thanks for your comments on the letter -- and you've got the spirit of the competition right: Submissions don't necessary need to be based on brain data. For instance, the human connectome category will probably encourage real-data based submissions. But the humorous category was strongly advocated by Mike specifically to encourage unconstrained creativity. Does that explain it?

And thanks for your great comments on the texts for the other pages. I'll implement them now, and will get back to you in a bit. 

Daniel
