* FOR HBM: An Event You Don't Want to Miss *
Dear all,

I am writing to draw your attention to a social event that will be held at the OHBM conference in Quebec City on Tuesday, June 28th, from 8PM to 3AM:

THE CIRQUE DU CERVEAU GALA

Co-organized by Daniel Margulies, Cameron Craddock, Pierre Bellec and the Neuro Bureau, and powered by the Child Mind Institute, this year’s event will celebrate the artistic creativity of the neuroscientific community. Located at the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec (http://neurobureau.projects.nitrc.org/Br...), the gala will feature the 2011 Brain Art Competition award ceremony (http://neurobureau.projects.nitrc.org/Br...), followed by a DJ and celebrations. If you missed out on the art competition – no worries, there will be a door competition for the best hand-drawing of the brain (materials for drawing will be provided; entries are to be drawn at the event, not prior).

Built with the same spirit of community and open neuroscience as the 2010 “Young & Restless Beachside Gala” in Barcelona, this event will once again be open to all. And, your first drink will be free!

Gala Schedule:

8PM: Doors open and hors d'oeuvres served
9PM: Brain Art Competition Awards ceremony
* DJ will follow the award ceremony and continue until the end of the night *

The venue is a 20-minute walk from the conference center.  See our flyer for more details (http://neurobureau.projects.nitrc.org/Ci... a hard-copy will be provided at the conference). If you got 3D glasses, you may want to put them on to see an additional dimension emerge from the flyer.  If not, no worries – we’ll provide you with a pair at the conference. This is a non-profit event, powered by the Child Mind Institute (www.childmind.org) with additional support from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Montreal Neurological Institute, Unité de neuroimagerie fonctionnelle, Centre de recherche de l'institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal, the 1000 Functional Connectomes Project, and the International Neuroimaging Data-Sharing Initiative (INDI).

Best,
Mike
