Welcome to the registration form of the 2020 edition of the Brainhack (Washington DC)!

Please fill in this form. It will help us to better understand your profile and make suggestions about activities that are best suited to your interests and skills. You may opt-in to complete a brief survey (<5 min) about your skills and interests so our team can suggest potential Brainhack projects based on a project's requirements (e.g. topic, required skills or tools) and your skills/interests. Your data will be treated confidentially

Brainhack DC, part of the Brainhack Global Effort (http://www.brainhack.org/global2020/), will take place on December 12-13, 2020 via AirMeet. Brainhacks are unique events that convene researchers from across the globe and a myriad of disciplines to work together on innovative projects related to neuroscience. Please join us for this 2-day event and become part of this community of brain enthusiasts working on real neuroscience research problems. At Brainhack, you will have an opportunity to learn about alternative data analyses, build new analysis and visualization tools, and help materialize new research ideas. All this while you build strong collaborations with fellow neuroscientists from the local Washington DC region.

In contrast to traditional conferences structured around the lecturer-audience paradigm, Brainhacks are designed to maximize interactions between all participants. To do so, Brainhacks gravitate around real-life neuroscience projects in which attendees work in a highly collaborative manner for the event's duration.

How does it work? Brainhack DC 2020 welcomes project proposals related to neuroscience, including projects on big data analytics, machine learning, and building neuroimaging analysis pipelines. Attendees are encouraged to propose their own projects in this form and pitch their own projects during the opening remarks. After project pitches, attendees will choose a project to “hack” on. Brainhacking will occur for two full days, during which you will have the opportunity to interact with and learn from other experts with a shared interest in neuroscience and open science. Working sessions will be accompanied by small "unconferences” during which group leaders will provide project reports and receive feedback from all brainhackers. After the Brainhack, you will have contributed to the sprouting of new projects and tools that will help advance neuroscientific research.

Registration for the Brainhack DC 2020 is now open. This event is FREE! While we will keep registration open until December 11th, please register by December 10th.

Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made to methodslab@georgetown.edu by December 3rd. A good-faith effort will be made to fulfill requests.
