[Neurobureau-hubs] brainhack 2012

[Pierre Bellec]

Dear colleagues,

I wanted to draw your attention on the upcoming 2012 Brainhack, 1st
edition, to be held from September 1-4 at the Max Plank Institute for Human
Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, Germany. Brainhack is not a
conference or a workshop. It should be closer to one of those exciting
conversations you may have had at HBM during cocktail or poster sessions.
Except that we will have over three days to build up those conversations
into full-fledge collaborations. One should come to brainhack ready to
engage into collaborative projects, and with some material (slides, ideas,
data, tools) ready to start a project or a discussion panel. Brainhack will
build on the successful techniques used in other
unconferences<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference>to keep the
meeting focussed and productive. It
is possible to start a project and build a team as early as today. Please
have a look at the website for informations on the conference and a sample
of projects (more will be added over the summer):
http://brainhack.org/2012/04/06/brainhack-2012-unconference/

The list of confirmed attendees includes F. Xavier Castellanos, Michael
Hanke, Michael P. Milham, Tal Yarkoni, Arno Villringer, and many members of
the neurobureau <http://www.neurobureau.org/NeuroBureau/Welcome.html>.
Brainhack is a satellite of the resting-state connectivity
conference<http://www.restingstate.com/>.
Although many participants will have an interest in connectivity analysis,
there will also be attendees coming from a variety of backgrounds within
neuroscience. Registration is now opened:

Please do not hesitate to share this invitation with your circles. Best
regards,
