With support from the Allen Institute for Brain Science, Amazon Web Services, and numerous other contributors, the 19th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) will include an integrated hack room and associated cloud-computing contest called the HBM Hackathon. Participation is free, but to be eligible for the contest prizes and free cloud computing credits, at least one team member must be registered to attend the main OHBM 2013 Meeting in Seattle.
OHBM attendance is expected ~3,000 researchers focused on brain imaging methods like fMRI.
