[Mne_analysis] Fwd: Join me at BRAINHACK Americas, Oct 23-25 2015!

[Chris Holdgraf]

Hey all - I just heard of an upcoming nation-wide (American) conference for
people interested in coding, neuroscience, data analysis, etc. I don't have
a ton of details as this isn't my conference, but here is the primary call
to action. I figure it may be of interest to some on this listserv. Hope
it's useful!

Chris

Brainhack (http://brainhack.org) is a unique conference that convenes
researchers from across the globe and a myriad of disciplines to work
together on innovative projects related to neuroscience. Brainhack Americas
(http://brainhack.org/americas) will unite several regional Brainhack
events throughout North, Central, and South Americas during October 23, 24
& 25, 2015. Having several simultaneous events will help build a critical
mass for the regional Brainhack movement and will provide opportunities for
inter-Brainhack collaboration. Local events will be connected by
videoconference to expand collaborative opportunities so that smaller sites
can plug into the content and energy generated at larger sites.

Sites in Ann Arbor, MI, Atlanta, GA, Berkeley, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Miami,
FL, New York City, NY, Porto Alegre, Brazil, Querétaro, Mx, Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil and Seattle, WA have signed on, and a synchronized schedule for all
events is available at https://tinyurl.com/brainhack-amx-schedule.

In addition to time spent collaborating on neuroscience projects,
activities at the Brainhack will include:

   - Tutorials on basic software development skills called "Brainhacking
   101"
   - Keynotes from neuroscience and methods researchers including: Dubois
   Bowman, PhD, Alex Opitz, PhD, Adriana Di Martino, MD, and Eleftherios
   Garyfallidis, PhD
   - Data Blitzes during which attendees can present their research

Brainhack has partnered with GigaScience and BioMed Central to publish the
"Proceedings from Brainhack Americas". Each Brainhack attendee will have
the option to submit a project report describing the work that they
performed during the event, which will be peer reviewed and edited by
members of the Brainhack community and will be indexed in PubMed.

Amazon AWS is once again supporting Brainhack through an Education Research
Grant award. 100 attendees will receive $50 in AWS credits for their
Brainhack projects. These credits will be allocated on a first come first
serve basis.
