Fairness and Equity Workshop: The proposed workshop will explore the ways that bias “gets baked into” our data and models at five different stages of the research cycle: 1) Research Design; 2) Data Collection; 3). Data Editing and Analysis; 4) Model Construction and Validation; 5) Knowledge Translation and Exchange.
Key objectives of this workshop are to identify potential sources of bias in our own research, and promote best practices in the field and among our peers.

BrainHack Global 2020: Ontario
A virtual event co-hosted by BrainHack Western and BrainHack Toronto
Registration is now opened for our first virtual BrainHack Global - Ontario co-hosted by BrainHack Western and BrainHack Toronto. Join us on December 2nd to 4th over Chrowdcast for a completely free event focused on neuroscience and the promotion of open-source resources in an accessible way across disciplines and experience levels including hacking, education, panels, and networking.
For more information, please visit the BrainHack site (https://brainhackto.github.io/global-ON-2020/), which will be updated regularly. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us brainhacktoronto@gmail.com or brainhack.western@gmail.com

BrainHacks are collaborative events that focus on the open sharing of ideas, models, code, and data. We will be featuring speakers, panels, and tutorials. Attendees will have the opportunity to work with others to pitch ideas, create projects, and share their achievements with others.
Even though we will be physically distant, there will be the possibility to come together and socialize on the Brainhack Ontario GatherTown platform. We will be using the platform to host exciting social activities throughout the event. Stay tuned for the social activities program!
We invite all neuroscience aficionados, students of neuroscience-related subjects, professors and professionals to participate. Registrations are now open here.

KCNhub Event
TOPIC: Hierarchical Bayesian inference underpins human social learning

Meeting ID: 896 8176 7784
Passcode: 593617
Dr Andreea Diaconescu is an Independent Scientist at the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics (CAMH) and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto.
Andreea completed her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience with Prof. Randy McIntosh at the Rotman Research Institute (University of Toronto). Following her PhD training, she held a postdoctoral position at the Translational Neuromodeling Unit (University of Zurich and ETH Zurich). Under the supervision of Prof. Klaas Enno Stephan, she developed, validated, and applied hierarchical Bayesian models of social learning and decision-making to examine persecutory ideation in early psychosis. Andreea has recently been supported by the Swiss National Foundation at the University in Basel in the Department of Psychiatry to lead a project on early detection of psychosis using computational models of persecutory delusions fit to behaviour and neuroimaging (EEG and fMRI) data.
At the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics, Andreea focuses on neurocomputational models of suicidal ideation in psychoaffective disorders.
