Of course, this event would not be possible without the help of our generous sponsors:
The focus of our event this year was an intro to neuroimaging analysis, deep learning, and of course open science. To that end, we had a few awards to hand out:
- Most Innovative Project (based on novelty, feasibility, and application): What do brain sound like?
- Best Open Science Project (project making use of and contributes to open science platforms): AFIDS Validator & Artifically Intelligent Autobiographical Interviews
- Most Enthusiastic Team (teamwork, motivation, collaboration): Is deeper better?

Over the course of the event, we've seen a number of projects come together. Here are some pictures during the project wrap up.
