CHBH Neuroscience Hackathon 2026

Whether you're new to hackathons or more experienced, we welcome you to join us for an exciting, collaborative, non-competitive event - working in Python, R, Julia, MATLAb and beyond.

Tracks will depend on interest. Suggestions are:

• Experiment Design Track – Focus on designing innovative experiments.
• MRI Track – Work with MRI data and analysis.
• EEG Track – Work with EEG data and analysis.
• LLMs (Large Language Models) – Explore applications of AI-driven language models in neuroscience.
• Brain Art – Combine neuroscience and creativity to create art inspired by brain data.
• Open Science – Work on projects that promote transparency, reproducibility, and accessibility in research.
• Bring Your Own Project – Develop and advance your own research project.

For all tracks we are looking for people who want to submit a bespoke project. Please reach out if you do to: s.lugtmeijer@bham.ac.uk

We will come together as a group for keynote talks and project check-ins throughout the two days.

We have 40 spots available. Should we receive more applications than places, we will select participants to ensure a good balance of career stages, with priority given to PhD students, postdocs, and research fellows and taking into account motivation for joining the event.
