ABOUT

What is a BrainHack anyway?

BrainHack

The purpose of the Brainhack organistaion is to bridge the data science and neuroscience research communities to advance the progress of neuroscience.

BrainHack Aus 2024

BrainHack Aus 2024 is a hackathon to be held over three days at the University of Melbourne. Bring a project or your curiosity, all are welcome. This year it is being held in conjunction with OHBM Australia Chapter annual meeting and the Maths in the Brain conference.

Organisers

SPONSORS

We would like to kindly thank

National Imaging Facility (NIF)

National Imaging Facility (NIF)

The National Imaging Facility (NIF) provides open access to flagship imaging equipment, expertise, tools, data and analysis within Australia’s strategic science and research priorities. NIF has generously supplied funds, and staff time to help organise and promote the hackathon.

Cognitive Neurosceience Hub

Cognitive Neurosceience Hub

Cognitive neuroscience investigates the biological processes that underlie human cognition. We strive to answer the question: How does the brain generate behaviour? To do so we combine behavioural methods with brain imaging techniques (such as functional MRI and electroencephalography), computational modelling, and artificial intelligence. The Cognitive Neuroscience Hub has generously organised the venue for this year's hackathon.

OHBM Australian Chapter

OHBM Australian Chapter

The goal of the newly formed Australian Chapter is to unite and invigorate the neuroimaging community in Australia. Our members come from a variety of universities and research institutes around the country – Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide – working in the fields of fundamental and clinical neuroscience. We aim to further promote scientific communication and outreach through organising lectures, colloquia, workshops, conferences, and social/networking events throughout Australia. The OHBM Australian Chapter has helped with organisation and promotion of this year's Brain Hack, and its annual meeting will be colocated at the University of Melbourne in the days following the hackathon.
