Brainhack: Anatomy

Institut Pasteur de Paris, 24 to 26 October 2016

Brainhack aims at promoting the interaction between scientists on questions concerning (1) the investigation of brain anatomy based on magnetic resonance imaging or post mortem dissection; (2) the evolution of nervous systems across species; (3) the variability of brain features across healthy participants; (4) the insurgence of brain pathologies.

Participants can bring their own dataset, discuss a project and recruit a team of collaborators on site. Access to free big online databases of MRI images will be also available during the three days, for new creative ideas to be tested.

This workshop is also an opportunity to learn methods, develop skills and collaborate with other participants.

Participants will be supervised and receive advice on methods from a team of very capable nerds including Roberto Toro, Michel Thiebaut de Schotten, Alexandros Goulas, Daniel Margulies and Leonardo Cerliani throughout the three days.

A constant flow of food and drinks (especially coffee…) will be provided during the conference breaks.

We kindly request an online preregistration (70€) in order to cover the expenses for the venue, the equipment and the food/drinks.
