Brain Storm BCI Hackathon 2026

Brain Storm 2026 is a two-day, in-person hackathon taking place January 23-24, where students and post-docs from across Boston’s top universities come together to design and prototype new tools in brain–computer interfaces (BCI), AI, signal processing, hardware, healthcare innovation, and more.

Whether you’re into neuroscience, machine learning, UX, robotics, or just like building cool things, this event gives you access to real neural data, expert mentors, and a chance at $5,000 in prizes.

By signing up, you’re expressing interest in participating in the hackathon. Space is limited, and final confirmations will be sent in January.
