The structure for the conference builds from the concepts of an unconference and hackathon. The term “unconference” refers to a conference structure in which most of the content is dynamically chosen by the participants – and a hackathon is an event where participants collaborate intensively on science-related projects. Brainhack will be a blend of both elements. On the last day, collaborative groups will give a brief presentation detailing their project, and the progress that was made over the course of the Brainhack.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large; "><br></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large; ">We encourage participants across all disciplines related to neuroimaging to come prepared to present and discuss their research interests.
