Multimodal imaging has provided a novel framework to assess brain structure, connectivity and function in vivo. However with multiple databases and modalities, new paradigms to optimize processing and quality control should be explored. To this end, we have developed a pipeline that integrates processing modules for structural, microstructure-sensitive, diffusion-weighted, and resting-state functional MRI to automatically generate connectome models of neural organization across different spatial scales. Furthermore, we assess the reproducibility across datasets, and the sensibility of connectome derived metric within and between databases in epilepsy and healthy subjects, to finally unravel the interactions between brain structure and function with cognitive performance.

To ensure we reach as many students/researchers in Montreal as possible, we are hoping you would be willing to circulate the email below (containing all the details of the event) with your lab and collaborators. Your help is warmly appreciated! Cheers, Valentina *On behalf of Brainhack Montreal 2021 Organizers* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello all! We are excited to announce the upcoming Montreal edition of Brainhack Global 2021 taking place from December 6-10! ? REGISTER HERE! 1. What is a Brainhack? Brainhacks are educational hackathons that bring researchers together from a variety of disciplines (e.g., neuroscience, psychology, engineering) and career levels (e.g., undergraduate, graduate, research staff) to collaborate on participant-led projects and ideas and share open science-oriented technical skills. Rather than your ?typical? competitive hackathon, Brainhacks aim to be actively inclusive and radically collaborative. To that end, attendees don?t need to have coding expertise or prior hackathon experience: everyone is welcome! All you need to do is bring your excitement to contribute and share ideas in whatever way works for you. Read more about the motivations behind and benefits of Brainhacks in this Neuroview piece ! 2. What will the event look like/how do I register? Brainhack Montreal 2021 will have a hybrid format, with a limited capacity in-person space available at the Centre de recherche institut universitaire de g?riatrie de Montr?al (CRIUGM) amphitheater for coffee and snacks every morning, and as a free hacking/meeting spot for the rest of the day. The current schedule can be found on our event website here . Registration for the event is open now ; to ensure we can accommodate attendees wishing to participate in person, please register as soon as possible if you plan to use the in-person hacking space! To stay up-to-date on Brainhack Montreal news or connect with fellow participants, join the chat on our Mattermost channel #brainhack-mtl ! NOTE: Please sign up for Mattermost with a non-institutional email to ensure the registration confirmation email is not blocked by your school?s system! 3. How do I submit or join a Brainhack project? Instructions for submitting new hackathon projects and info on existing projects you can join can be found on the Brainhack Global 2021 website here (all projects are managed centrally, even if you are attending the Montreal event). Please register for Brainhack Montreal before submitting a project! We encourage you to submit project proposals before December 1; live project pitches will then take place on the first day of Brainhack Montreal (Dec 6) so that participants who have not yet joined a project can do so! 4. Help! I want to participate in Brainhack but lack experience/skills in ____: Fear not! Brainhack welcomes participants of all different skill backgrounds and levels, and has a dedicated help desk Mattermost channel where participants can seek technical support on their projects at any time. In addition, Brainhack Montreal will have our own ?live? help desk on Zoom for 1 hour every day, where volunteers will be available to answer your questions or point you in the direction of resources. For refreshers/tutorials on software (Python, git, containerization, & more!), we also recommend checking out the educational modules from Brainhack School Montreal 2020 . If you have any questions, please don?t hesitate to reach out to us using the #brainhack-mtl channel! Hope to see you there!
