BIRN representatives will be attending the Organization for Human Brain Mapping meeting in Seattle, Washington June 16-20, 2013.  They will be making both scientific presentations and participating in the tutorial sessions before the meeting.  In addition, BIRN is supporting the HBM Hackathon and will make its tools available to Hackathon participants.  The Hackathon is an analysis and resource-building competition that will strengthen the connection between open neuroscience and cloud computing.  The Hackathon challenges include a) the creation of connections between imaging/genetic datasets and the Allen Brain Atlas and b) the large-scale integration of resting state data with other Hackathon-accessible data sets.  A third challenge will be announced at the conference and participants are also encouraged to create their own challenge.  Amazon Web Services will provide support as well as $100 in cloud computing credits. Please visit the BIRN booth (#116) while at the conference for more information on BIRN tools and capabilities.
