[Daniel Margulies]

The 2014 Neuroimaging
Hackathon<http://www.humanbrainmapping.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3606>
registration
is open<https://www.humanbrainmapping.org/i4a/ams/conference/conference.cfm?conferenceID=98>!
This unique 3-day event (June 5-7) will be held prior to annual meeting of
the Organization for Human Brain Mapping
(OHBM)<http://www.humanbrainmapping.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=3565>at
the legendary
c-base <http://c-base.org/>, a decked-out collaborative art and technology
space at the heart of the Berlin hacker community. In keeping with the
spirit of prior neuroimaging hackathons such as OHBM
2013<http://ohbm-seattle.github.io/>and Brainhack
2012 and 2013 <http://www.brainhack.org/>, participants will have the
opportunity to propose collaborative projects and engage in a number of
open challenges.

For updated information on the developing Hackathon content, and to
contribute your own ideas, check out www.brainhack.org. Current projects
include the Sage Alzheimer’s Disease
Challenge<https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn2290704>,
cloud computing tutorials with
NITRC-CE<https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00AW0MBLO>and Amazon
Web Services, workshops on data-sharing and meta-analysis, and
many others initiated by scientists from the brain imaging community (see
http://brainhack.org/categories/hackathon2014/).

Participants engaged in the Alzheimer’s Disease Challenge will have the
unique opportunity to set an initial benchmark for a multi-phase effort to
identify early accurate predictive biomarkers that can inform the
scientific, industrial and regulatory communities about the disease.

Join this vibrant community and help build open neuroscience initiatives in
one of the most unique tech venues in Berlin. To keep the collaborations
flowing, meals and refreshments are all included in the registration costs
and will be provided on-site, as well as $100+ in Amazon Web Service
credits for your computational needs. Participation is limited, so we
encourage you to register
now<https://www.humanbrainmapping.org/i4a/ams/conference/conference.cfm?conferenceID=98>.


The spirit of the Hackathon will also be continuing into the OHBM meeting
in Hamburg from June 8-12, where a collaboration space will be available in
the conference venue. This space will be open to all OHBM attendees to
discuss, present, and continue working on hackathon projects.
