The focus on intensive community- and skill-building opens doors to a number of professional opportunities (learn more about these benefits <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627321002312">here</a>). Brainhacks are <u>not your typical hackathon</u>—they are actively inclusive rather than competitive. To that end, even if you have never attended a hackathon before or written a line of code, you are welcome! No need to work with neuroimaging methods or be part of OHBM to attend. All you need is to come along and share your ideas, expertise, contributions with whatever pace and form you can make it happen while having a chance to collaborate and meet with many other researchers all around the world! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><u>We particularly welcome the contributions of groups traditionally underrepresented in neuroscience, including women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, individuals with disabilities, and more.</u> Brainhacks are safe spaces, with a policy of zero tolerance for harassment. OHBM Brainhack 2021 is intended for everyone to feel safe, learn from each other and share knowledge. Our event would be enriched by your involvement and contributions. To support our mission, please share this widely—we’d especially love your help translating and sharing this message in your local language to reach as many people around the world as we can! Events will take place across two main time slots to support as many time zones as possible.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>About us:</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are the Open Science Special Interest Group (OSSIG) within the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) society, which hosts a yearly conference on mapping the brain with neuroimaging.
