Why join?

At Decoded Brain, we aim to provide not just the space and resources to help you achieve your research goals, but a community of curious and collaborative individuals. Our members are committed to curating research and developing new tools at the intersection of neuroscience and technology. By joining or starting an initiative, you gain access to our Project Meetings ****which are weekly focus sessions where we review progress, set realistic goals and deadlines, offer guidance when challenges arise, and connect you with peers who share your interests. Most importantly, you become part of a growing community that is decoding the brain.

Joining an initiative

To join an initiative, you must first receive an invitation from the lead of that initiative. You can click on the cards below to view each initiative’s title, description and contact information. Feel free to connect with any member using their email, Discord username, or in-person during our meetings (time and place announced via Discord). Members are expecting to hear from you! You may also reach out to any board member to inquire about or assist you in joining a project/study.

Members can only join initiatives at their chapter or ones that are published to the DBHQ

→ Initiatives with higher maturity are more established initiatives.
