[BIC-announce] BrainHack school (and Neuro Data Science week)

[JB Poline]

Dear all,

The BrainHack school <https://brainhackmtl.github.io/school2019> is on!  It
is a project based 4 week course (Aug 5 - Aug 30) across Concordia,
McGill,  polytechnique and UdM, that you can take for credit through the
Quebec inter-university system.

The first week of this course will be a more traditional -and intense- set
of tutorials to teach you the fundamentals of data science for neuroscience
with an emphasis on neuroimaging. The preliminary syllabus is here
<https://github.com/neurodatascience/NeuroDataSci-course-2019/blob/master/neuro-data-science.md>.


There are only few seats available for McGill students, they will go on a
first come first serve basis, and priority given to those who take the
course for credit. Do not hesitate to send me an email if you need more
information. See the official announcement below.

Cheers
JB

The *Montreal BrainHack School* is a 4-weeks long full-time educational
workshop, which will train participants in a range of fundamental tools for
neuronal data science, applied at the interface of Neuroscience,
Statistical modelling and Computer Science, using a project-based,
multidisciplinary approach. The school is an initiative of the group for
the union of neuroscience and artificial intelligence in Québec (UNIQUE),
and features instructors from four institutions: McGill, Université de
Montréal, École Polytechnique and Concordia University.

Graduate students (Master and PhD) at the psychology department of
Université de Montréal can register to brainhack school as a 3 credit
course called "
<https://admission.umontreal.ca/cours-et-horaires/cours/psy-6983/>*PSY 6983
- Projet en sciences des données neuronales*"
<https://admission.umontreal.ca/cours-et-horaires/cours/psy-6983/>.
Graduate students at École Polytechnique, Concordia University and McGill
University can register to PSY 6983 through the *Bureau de coopération
inter-universitaire* <http://www.bci-qc.ca/>. Participants from outside of
the partner institutions can register too. Computer Science students from
Concordia University can register as a COMP 490 or COMP 6971 project,
following the usual procedure of their department.

There is a limited number of seats and priority will be given to students
who take the course for credit.


*Dates: *August 5th- 30th, 2019
