What is Brainhack Donostia?

-

A gender-balanced board of researchers from BCBL invites you to join a three-day in-person workshop focused on project development to foster new ideas, findings and future collaborations. In addition, we will host four international keynote speakers that will share their experience on state of the art methods, good practices in science and hot topics in research nowadays. By doing so, we will continue to grow our contributions towards sharing knowledge openly and transparently across disciplines and specialties, and to the development of open-source tools.
- Accessibility to science is an important objective for BHD and we are determined in making this year's event more inclusive and open. Following last year's organization, a CART system (*Communication Access Realtime Translation) will be provided during all talks and tutorials in order to ensure fluid and intelligible subtitles for deaf and hard of hearing participants. This system is also a valuable aid for all those participants who are not native speakers of English.
- BHD 2024 will award 10 travel grants to help cover travel and registration costs for the event. Through these travel awards we want to encourage and promote the participation of junior scientists who have less access to fundings. Awards will be assigned based on statements of purposes provided by the participants themselves, which will be assessed by our committee. If you would like to be considered for one of these travel grants, feel free to click on the following button and to fill out the form. You will be asked to write a short statement of purpose on why you believe this grant could help you attend BHD 2024.
- The deadline for the statement of purpose submission is the 8th of November. The grants will be awarded in the following days. If you have any questions about this process, feel free to contact us at info.bhg-donostia@bcbl.eu .

BHD 2024 is an opportunity to learn new skills and create long-lasting collaborations with interesting people from various backgrounds with a strong interest in Open Science.
These projects are proposed by the attendees for the attendees, and can be in any stage of development (i.e, it can be just an idea). Any attendee can propose any number of project, but can only lead one. The presenter of the project is responsible for making sure that anyone can contribute to the project, regardless of their level of expertise and background knowledge in programming. If possible, the project leaders should try to define some 'beginners' tasks'. We firmly believe that every single one of the attendees has something valuable to contribute to any project and we can't wait to see what it will be!

Though the body appears to go into standby mode, the brain remains active, producing a variety of conscious experiences throughout the night. These experiences range from simple thoughts to intricate and immersive dreams. The nature and purpose of these nocturnal conscious experiences have been a subject of much research. Using high-density electroencephalography (EEG) and serial awakening paradigms, research has attempted to link mental content with specific signatures of brain activity to understand the mechanisms underlying the fluctuations of conscious experience during sleep. Furthermore, incorporating memory, creativity and perception tasks into these paradigms shed light on the potential roles that dreams play in our waking cognition. In addition, I will discuss the significance of effective scientific communication in research. Scientific concepts, like consciousness and many others, can be difficult to grasp. Clear communication ensures that findings are understood, replicated, and built upon. It also makes scientific concepts more accessible and engaging, fostering a deeper appreciation for science. Data visualization and storytelling-based talks are crucial tools in bridging the gap between complex research and public understanding, thereby enhancing the overall impact of scientific endeavors." +description: "As we drift into sleep, our body becomes still, our breathing slows down, and we gradually lose awareness of our surroundings. Though the body appears to go into standby mode, the brain remains active, producing a variety of conscious experiences throughout the night. These experiences range from simple thoughts to intricate and immersive dreams. The nature and purpose of these nocturnal conscious experiences have been a subject of much research. Using high-density electroencephalography (EEG) and serial awakening paradigms, research has attempted to link mental content with specific signatures of brain activity to understand the mechanisms underlying the fluctuations of conscious experience during sleep. Furthermore, incorporating memory, creativity and perception tasks into these paradigms shed light on the potential roles that dreams play in our waking cognition.

He specialised in the field of sleep and consciousness through research experiences on the link between mind-wandering and creativity, on the neural correlates of lucid dreaming and on a clustering approach to better characterize sleep (CHUV Lausanne, Switzerland; Monash Biomedical Imaging, Australia; Wisconsin Institute for Sleep and Consciousness, USA). He is now a 2nd-year PhD student at the Paris Brain Institute, supervised by Delphine Oudiette et Thomas Andrillon. Nicolas is interested in what crosses our mind as we fall asleep. he uses high-density EEG to Investigate how the sleep onset period favors creative insight and characterize conscious experiences occurring during this transitory state using machine learning." + --- diff --git a/img/logos/bcbl_bigger.jpg b/img/logos/bcbl_bigger.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..b502b5db Binary files /dev/null and b/img/logos/bcbl_bigger.jpg differ diff --git a/img/logos/bcbl_bigger.png b/img/logos/bcbl_bigger.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..0ed969a5 Binary files /dev/null and b/img/logos/bcbl_bigger.png differ diff --git a/img/logos/paisvasco_bigger.png b/img/logos/paisvasco_bigger.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4ba563d8 Binary files /dev/null and b/img/logos/paisvasco_bigger.png differ diff --git a/img/logos/trebe_logo.png b/img/logos/trebe_logo.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..02115d4f Binary files /dev/null and b/img/logos/trebe_logo.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/Unconference_info_24_resized.png b/img/portfolio/Unconference_info_24_resized.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f9416d5e Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/Unconference_info_24_resized.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/bianca_serio.png b/img/portfolio/bianca_serio.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..b088a13d Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/bianca_serio.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/biancayellow.png b/img/portfolio/biancayellow.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..9ade7b3a Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/biancayellow.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/davidrywhite.png b/img/portfolio/davidrywhite.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..51420f5b Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/davidrywhite.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/davidryyellow.png b/img/portfolio/davidryyellow.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d40d4d03 Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/davidryyellow.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/eva_mendez.png b/img/portfolio/eva_mendez.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..262ac980 Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/eva_mendez.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/evayellow.png b/img/portfolio/evayellow.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..93a3e738 Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/evayellow.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/marcoyellow.png b/img/portfolio/marcoyellow.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..8bec6e17 Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/marcoyellow.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/nicolas_decat.png b/img/portfolio/nicolas_decat.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5055b9ff Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/nicolas_decat.png differ diff --git a/img/portfolio/nicolasyellow.png b/img/portfolio/nicolasyellow.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..ec3005fa Binary files /dev/null and b/img/portfolio/nicolasyellow.png differ diff --git a/img/team/catarinaD.jpg b/img/team/catarinaD.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..25743322 Binary files /dev/null and b/img/team/catarinaD.jpg differ diff --git a/img/team/cesarC.jpg b/img/team/cesarC.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a222339c Binary files /dev/null and b/img/team/cesarC.jpg differ diff --git a/img/team/franciscaC.jpg b/img/team/franciscaC.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..0191aaa8 Binary files /dev/null and b/img/team/franciscaC.jpg differ diff --git a/img/team/irtishaC.jpg b/img/team/irtishaC.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..974937de Binary files /dev/null and b/img/team/irtishaC.jpg differ diff --git a/img/team/rylandM.jpg b/img/team/rylandM.jpg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..3dd92767 Binary files /dev/null and b/img/team/rylandM.jpg differ diff --git a/style.css b/style.css index 106279ba..878ae8ee 100644 --- a/style.css +++ b/style.css @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ --- -layout: style ---- \ No newline at end of file +layout : style +---
