If you're attending OHBM in Brisbane, consider extending your trip Down Under! Come meet colleagues at the joint meeting of the Australasian Society for Experimental Psychology and the Asia-Pacific Conference on Vision. This joint meeting will be at UNSW Sydney from June 17-20, a week before OHBM. Submissions are open through April 15th!

Founded in 2002, the Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) is an annual international meeting for in-depth discussions of all aspects of brain connectivity research. By bringing together experts in computational neuroscience, neuroscience methodology, and experimental neuroscience, it aims to improve the understanding of the relationship between anatomical connectivity, brain dynamics, and cognitive function.

These workshops have a unique format, featuring only short presentations (15 minutes, 3 slides), followed by 45 minutes of intense discussion.

Join us in Brisbane from June 21-23, 2025, for an electrifying three-day event where brain mapping and open science collide. Hosted by the Open Science Special Interest Group (OSSIG), this hackathon is a unique space to dive into cutting-edge neuroimaging, push boundaries with creative problem-solving, and connect with a global community of researchers, developers, and enthusiasts! A BrainHack is a fluid participant-led event with three components: working on projects, tutorials and workshops, and talks. Whether you're an experienced coder or just curious about open neuroscience, come build, share, and innovate in an inclusive and welcoming environment!

As part of the 2025 Brainhack we will run a www.Neurodesk.org workshop and hackathon. Learn about the open-source data analysis environment for reproducible neuroimaging and contribute :)

Continuing a tradition dating back to 1998, the Neuroimaging Statistics Workshop (NSW) features cutting-edge talks on novel statistical methodology for brain imaging. This year, we are co-organized with OS SIG's BrainHack and will be based at the BrainHack venue, running from noon on Sunday, June 22nd, to 1 pm on Monday, June 23rd. This schedule allows NSW attendees the option to participate in the first day of the BrainHack or the NeuroDesk workshop (Saturday, June 21st), and to participate in BrainHack wrap-up events on Monday. The Keith Worsley Lecture will be given by Steve Strother (University of Toronto), and keynotes will be delivered by Christian Beckmann (Radboud University), Gang Chen (NIMH), and Neda Jahanshad (University of Southern California). We look forward to seeing you there!

Are you dedicated to advancing the understanding of the anatomical and functional organization of the human brain using neuroimaging? Registration for the 2025 OHBM Annual Meeting in Brisbane, Australia is now open. Pre-registering online is the fastest and easiest way. We will not be accepting cash or check on-site when registering for OHBM 2025.

Join us from June 24 - June 28, 2025 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre as we bring together like-minded researchers to engage in educational forums and the exchange of up-to-the-minute, groundbreaking research across neuroimaging methods and applications.

OHBM Student and Postdoc Special Interest Group (SP-SIG) is hosting Lunch with Mentors, an in-person session at OHBM Brisbane run in small groups, where 7 trainees can have an informal conversation with a mentor from either industry or academia.

This workshop will bring together interactive talks by leaders in brain stimulation, neuroimaging, and clinical neuroscience, focussing on deep brain stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, focussed ultrasound stimulation and more. Presentations will emphasise the integration of neuromodulation technologies with neuroimaging, computational modelling and cognitive paradigms as part of working toward integrated, personalised and targeted therapeutic techniques.

If you're interested in advanced diffusion MRI analysis, consider attending our 7th official MRtrix3 workshop! 

MRtrix3 provides advanced diffusion MRI analysis tools, supporting a wide range of tractography applications, from individual studies to next-generation group-level analyses.

This hands-on workshop will be held on 30 June, 2025 - 3 July, 2025, at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, immediately after the main OHBM meeting. 

The 28th Annual meeting of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (https://theassc.org/) will be held at the Cultural Conference Center of Heraklion, Crete on July 6-9, 2025!

We're happy to announce that the 4th Cognition and Natural Sensory Processing (CNSP) Workshop will take place virtually on September 2-3.

The workshop will be two days of talks and hands-on tutorials relating to analysis of neural data involving natural, continuous sensory inputs (e.g., speech/music listening). Our keynote speakers will be Dr. JR King and Dr. Sam Nastase. 

The workshop will also feature interactive tutorial sessions on the analysis of continuous sensory data. Please see our workshop page for more information and register here!.

*** CNSP Hackathon (12-14 September) in Maastricht ***

The first CNSP Hackathon will take place in Maastricht, Netherlands on September 12-14, 2025, just before the International Conference on Auditory Cortex (ICAC). Put your coding skills to the test and solve real problems in natural sensory processing.

During the CNSP Hackathon, you'll collaborate in teams to develop innovative tools and analyses that advance research in cognition and natural sensory processing. Whether you're interested in neural signal processing, data visualization, or building open-source resources, this hands-on event offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the CNSP community.

We are now accepting applications to the first CNSP Hackathon!
