Why Brainhack ?

BrainHacks are collaborative events that focus on the open sharing of ideas, models, code, and data. They bring together brain experts and enthusiasts from a variety of backgrounds to build relationships, learn from one another, and collaborate on projects related to the neurosciences.

We also encourage new programmers and students/scientists to participate in our hackathon this year. We pair experienced Brain Hackers with new folks to help kickstart your growth as a neurohacker!
