NeuroTechSF Hacknight

Join us every week for online Hacknight! Newcomers always welcome. Come in anytime between 6 and 9PM PDT and let’s stay connected while we have to stay apart.

We will be available to answer questions about neurotechnology and discuss recent research. Please check out NeuroTechX’s github for current projects (https://github.com/NeuroTechX/) but feel free to just drop in, learn more about what people are doing and be a part of the community. And don't forget to join our Slack channel (https://bit.ly/ntx-slack) to stay in touch and lots more.
