<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400">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.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="font-weight:normal;line-height:1.38;text-align:justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">
<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400">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.</span></p>
