Connectionists: Neurohackweek: a summer school for neuroimaging and data science, September 5th-9th 2016

[Ariel Rokem]

We are happy to announce a call for applications to participate in the
first installment of the Neurohackweek summer school for neuroimaging and
data science.

This 5 day hands-on workshop, held at the University of Washington eScience
Institute in Seattle, will focus on technologies used to analyze human
neuroimaging data, on methods used to extract information from large
datasets of publicly available data (such as the Human Connectome Project,
Open fMRI, etc.), and on tools for making neuroimaging research open and
reproducible.

Morning sessions will be devoted to lectures and tutorials, and afternoon
sessions will be devoted to participant-directed activities: guided work on
team projects, hackathon sessions, and breakout sessions on topics of
interest.

We are now accepting applications from researchers in different stages of
their career (graduate students, postdocs, faculty, and research
scientists) to participate at:
http://escience.washington.edu/neurohackweek2016-application

Accepted applicants will be asked to pay a fee of $200 upon final
registration. This fee will include participation in the course,
accommodation in the UW dorms, and two meals a day (breakfast and lunch),
for the duration of the course. A limited number of fee waivers and travel
grants will be available. We encourage students with financial need and
students from groups that are underrepresented in neuroimaging and data
science to apply for these grants (email applications to: arokem at uw.edu)

Important dates:

April 18th: Deadline for applications to participate

May 6th: Notification of acceptance

June 1st: Final registration deadline

On behalf of the instructors,
