Neurohackademy is a summer school in neuroimaging and data science, held at the University of Washington eScience Institute.
This year’s course will be held in a hybrid format July 28th – August 9th, 2025.
Some participants will join us online and we hope that some participants will also be able to attend an in-person event in Seattle.
Participants will learn about technologies used to analyze human neuroscience data and to make analysis and results shareable and reproducible.
The first week will be devoted to hands-on lectures and open Q&A discussions. The second week of the course will be devoted to participant-directed activities: breakout sessions and collaboration sessions on topics of interest.
We are receiving applications to participate at: https://neurohackademy.org/apply/
Summer school and hackathon
Hack, noun
1. A clever or elegant technical accomplishment, especially one with a playful or prankish bent. A clever routine in a computer program, especially one which uses tools for purposes other than those for which they were intended, might be considered a hack.
2. A temporary, jury-rigged solution, especially in the fields of computer programming and engineering: the technical equivalent of chewing gum and duct tape. Compare to kludge.
Hack, verb
1. To program a computer in a clever, virtuosic, and wizardly manner. Ordinary computer jockeys merely write programs; hacking is the domain of digital poets.
