Summer Fall Neuroimaging & Coding Workshop Working Lunch Series
A collaborative, Brainhack‑inspired summer fall learning space

* Lunch meetings will consist of informal lectures/discussion and “hacking” – time set aside for working/coding and learning. Lunch will be provided(!) to folks who sign up, courtesy of the Morris/Connelly Labs
🥪 Come for the food, stay for the code and camaraderie! 🤖
Philosophy 🧠💻
“We can do without an extended family as human beings about as easily as we can do without vitamins or essential minerals.” -Kurt Vonnegut
Format and tone inspired by the Brainhack ethos – open, inclusive, and collaborative – emphasizing learning-by-doing, peer support, and a relaxed atmosphere 😎☀️ Perfect for summertime fall, y’all!
- Open & inclusive. All experience levels welcome! Questions encouraged, peer-support expected. Come ready to collaborate!
- Hands‑on. Most of the time is reserved for “hacking” – project-based learning in a supportive atmosphere. I can design objectives for group learning once we’ve finalized the schedule, but folks with prior experience are always welcome to work on their own projects.
- Reproducible. Will use open data (OpenNeuro) and open tools (BIDS, fMRIPrep, Nilearn) to meet learning objectives. Code and other materials/resources shared via public GitHub repos licensed under GPLv3.
- Fun. Lunch is social, hacking is collaborative, and all progress is celebrated ☺️
(That all sound great, Craig, but I still don’t understand… Why are you doing this??)
Sign Up❗
Please add your name to the sign-up sheet if you plan on joining us. If there’s a topic you want to learn, let it be known; if there’s a topic you want to teach, even better!
Add your info to the lunch order sheet! Please enter/update your order by Wednesday afternoon so the Roots staff have enough time to prepare.
Summer Schedule (old) 📅
Here’s what we covered over the summmer: Weekly Schedule (summer). The fall will consist of fewer presentations and more unstructured time for hacking. That being said, I’m happy to cover any summer material in the fall with folks who are interested in learning more about MRI, etc.
Quick Start 🚀
- SIGN UP if you haven’t already
- Add your lunch order to the list
- Create a GitHub account if you don’t have one – we will occasionally upload scripts, slides, and other materials here.
- Get in touch! – Let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or recommendations. I’m all ears! Let’s make the most of this 😄
