Sign up now to participate in natHACKS, Alberta’s inaugural brain-computer interface hackathon. This is a completely remote hackathon with thousands of dollars in prizes available! natHACKS will be an event like no other, inspiring beginners to develop practical neurotech skills and challenging competent hackers to apply themselves in this growing and exciting field. Spanning two weeks and culminating in a 64-hour hackathon weekend, the event will combine workshops, challenges, and networking opportunities for anyone interested in neurotechnology. With three different streams and separate judging criteria based on experience level, we’re thrilled to allow neurotech enthusiasts to get their hands dirty in a diverse selection of projects.
Begins: July 30th 5:00PM MDT
Ends: August 2nd 10:00AM MDT
Open for registration!
Are you wondering how to go about collecting real brain data? Muse® by Interaxon Inc. headbands are perfect for starter neurotech projects as they are an accessible means of gathering EEG (electroencephalography) data. MUSEing About Hardware will include an introduction to the Muse S headband, a walk-through of working with data gathered by the Muse, and networking with like-minded neurotech innovators!
June 23rd, 2021 17:00-19:00 MT
If you want to learn about the stuff we do in a fun, interactive, low-stress environment, this is the event for you! We currently offer four unique 10-session workshop streams (Hardware, Software, Machine Learning, and Neuroscience) that serve as an introduction to each of the key pilars of brain computer interfacing programs.

We start with a quick introduction to the group and a recap of our submissions to international neurotechnology competitions since our founding in February of 2019. Then we dive deep into the specifics of our current "RemBRAINdt" project (Finalists for the Russian Neurotech Cup 2020) and how we are leveraging this project as our group's first foray into entrepreneurship developing a highly customizable and easy-to-use interface for real-time generation of visual art from live brain signals, for use in private and public events. On October 10th, we won a People's Choice Award at NeuroTech Cup 2020 at the BCI Samara Conference in Russia!
