Dear Colleagues,

Florida International University (FIU) is hosting a Miami workshop + code
sprint in January 2019 called *Coastal Coding for Reproducible Neuroimaging*
:

*Jan 10-12: ReproNim + Nipype 2.0 Workshop*
The goals of this workshop are two-fold. First, to enable attendees to
become familiar with best practices for reproducible analysis
from ReproNim. Second, to learn how to create scalable and re-executable
neuroimaging workflows with the upcoming Nipype 2.0 platform. This event is
targeted towards novice neuroimaging users who meet the following
requirements: (1) Working knowledge of Python 3; and (2) Familiarity with
scripting in at least 1 neuroimaging package (e.g., AFNI, ANTS, FSL,
FreeSurfer, SPM). Advanced users are welcome to learn about the changes and
hack with Nipype developers.

*Jan 14-16: NiMARE Code Sprint*
NiMARE (Neuroimaging Meta-Analysis Research Environment) is a new Python
package for performing analyses using neuroimaging meta-analytic data.
Current tools for neuroimaging meta-analyses are spread out across several
packages and languages. NiMARE aims to provide a standardized interface for
a broad range of algorithms, along with interfaces to open meta-analytic
resources like Neurosynth, NeuroVault, and brainspell. The three-day NiMARE
coding sprint will occur after the Nipype workshop, with a one-day rest
period between, in which participants can enjoy Miami. At the sprint, we’ll
be working to design a standard for representing meta-analytic data, to
add implementations for new tools, and to improve the documentation and
test coverage of the existing codebase. Anyone interested in contributing
to this new package is welcome to join.

*Both the workshop and code sprint will be held at FIU’s scenic Biscayne
Bay Campus*, conveniently located 17 miles from the Miami International
Airport (MIA) or 19 miles from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport (FLL).

Registration costs are $125 for one event or $200 for both events. Fees
cover breakfast, lunch, snacks, and plenty of coffee.

Please feel free to forward to your colleagues!

Best,
Angie
