Brainhack EDT Posted By: NITRC ADMIN - Oct 2, 2014Tool/Resource: Conferences, Workshops and Meetings Brainhack.org (http://brainhack.org [1]) is proud to announce Brainhack EDT, to be held October 18-19, 2014 in various locations throughout the eastern daylight time timezone. Brainhack is a unique conference that convenes researchers from across the globe and a myriad of disciplines to work together on innovative projects related to neuroscience. Year after year, global Brainhack events have brought together researchers to participate in open collaboration, and now we are proud to introduce regional Brainhack events that will keep the momentum going throughout the year. To kick off the new model, Brainhack Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) will unite several regional Brainhack events. Having several simultaneous events will help build a critical mass for the regional Brainhack movement and will provide opportunities for inter-Brainhack collaboration. Local events will be connected by videoconference to expand collaborative opportunities so that smaller sites can plug into the content and energy generated at larger sites. To maximize the potential for interaction between sites, Brainhack EDT will connect sites that are within two hours of EDT (UTC-4 hours). Sites in Ann Arbor, Boston, New York City, Porto Alegre, and Washington DC have already signed on, and we hope to partner with additional sites throughout North, Central, and South America.
