Fruit Fly Brain Hackathon 2019

The overall mission of Columbia University’s Center for Neural Engineering and Computation (CNEC, pronounced “scenic”) is to 1) cross-link multiple laboratories in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) that are developing new types of engineering and computing tools for studying the nervous system, 2) provide an interface and representative organization for SEAS efforts in neuro-engineering/computing to the rest of Columbia University and other institutions, and 3) provide an organized structure for developing a comprehensive academic curriculum for computational neuroscience education at both the graduate and undergraduate level.The Center’s research focus is on the development of engineering and computation-driven neurotechnologies and their role as enablers for studying neural systems, most notably the normal and diseased brain. The Center will facilitate efforts focusing on engineering and computation-driven neurotechnology development which impact the specific research endeavors of all members of the center as well as the grand challenge questions confronted by the entire neuroscience community.

<P>The 4th Fruit Fly brain Hackathon (FFBH 2019) will be held on Wednesday, March 20, 2019. The goal of the hackathon is to bring together researchers interested in developing executable models of the fruit fly brain. In this year’s hackathon, we will focus on the <A HREF="http://www.bionet.ee.columbia.edu/research/ffbo/fbl" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">FlyBrainLab</A> (FBL), a newly developed interactive computing platform for studying the function of executable circuits constructed from fly brain data. The hackathon is aimed at three main groups of participants: neurobiologists, modelers and software engineers. We welcome researchers working on the fruit fly brain as well as those working on other model organisms to participate and broaden the discussion in the hackathon.</P>
<P>The Fruit Fly Brain Hackathon 2019 is organized in conjunction with the <A CLASS="reference external" HREF="http://www.bionet.ee.columbia.edu/workshops/bcmc/2019" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Columbia Workshop on Brain Circuit, Memory and Computation</A> on March 21-22, 2019. Participants of the hackathon are welcome to attend the workshop.</P>
