ABCD-J software at the DGKN Hackroom

Answering the next generation of open questions in neuroscience requires large data sets and complex analysis methods. Brainhacks aim to bridge the gap between data science and neuroscience research and initiate open collaborations between researchers from different disciplines with the goal of advancing computational brain research.

Brainhacks combine elements of ‘hackathons’ and ‘unconferences’ with various tutorials to accelerate the integration of data science and computational methods in neuroscience. Flexible scheduling encourages participants to spontaneously contribute their own topics and discussions and to work on projects in interdisciplinary teams.

At this year’s DGKN Hackroom, Dr. Michał Szczepanik and Dr. Mehran Turna contributed two talks involving software in the ABCD-J toolstack: “Datalad: GPDR conform collaboration” and “Jtrack: remote wearable assessment”.
