This week the Human Brain Project hosted a Hackathon at EPFL in Geneva. The purpose of the event was to bring together neuroscientists and developers so that we could work together on numerous projects. This is a great initiative, as face-to-face contact with other people working on similar things is very helpful, and it also fosters collaboration between groups that might be geographically quite spread out.
I brought my camera along for a couple of the days, and here is a glimpse from our Hackathon.

I noticed that it had almost aligned with the peak, and as I watched it moved into alignment. Since I only had my 50mm lens with me, this is a pretty crazy crop.Human Brian Project Geneva Hackathon 2017, it is not everyone, but a good number of us.
