Montreal BrainHack Workshop

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 "PSY 6983 - Projet en sciences des données neuronales" . Graduate students at École Polytechnique, Concordia University and McGill University can register to PSY 6983 through the Bureau de coopération inter-universitaire. 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. The first week of the course (McGill) will be an intense “neuro data science” week of tutorials, see the preliminary syllabus here.

Dates: August 5th- 30th, 2019

Costs: free for partner institutions, 50 CAD otherwise

Location: McGill (week 1), Université de Montréal (week 2), École Polytechnique (week 3) and Concordia University (week 4), Montréal, Canada
