8th Annual WiDS Datathon Challenges: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Female Brain WiDS Worldwide is on a mission to increase participation of women in data science to benefit societies worldwide.

4️⃣ 𝐔𝐧𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 🧠 in partnership with Women in Data Science aims to map brain functional connectomes to ADHD diagnoses in children and adolescents. The development of gender-sensitive assessment approaches is crucial for improving diagnostic accuracy.

Datathon University Edition Integrate a hands-on project with unique data that is relatively unexplored, and in a fun, competition setting.

3️⃣ 𝐔𝐧𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 🧠 in partnership with Women in Data Science aims to estimate children’s age from functional connectomes extracted from fMRI recordings of brain activity during resting state.

2️⃣ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 💻in partnership with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA AI aims to develop a predictive model that analyzes children's physical activity and fitness data to identify early signs of problematic internet use.

1️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 😴 aims to enhance researchers' ability to analyze accelerometer data for sleep monitoring, enabling large-scale studies of sleep. Efforts are currently underway to integrate one of the Kaggle models into our analysis pipelines.

🧠 HBN openly shares de-identified data with investigators worldwide to accelerate discoveries, including phenotypic, MRI, EEG, and eye-tracking data from children and adolescents.

🤝 HBN uses a community-referred recruitment model by encouraging participation of families who have concerns about mental health or learning in their children and by offering no-cost diagnostic evaluations. We thank all the families that have participated in the HBN study since 2015!

💡 @childmindinstitute.bsky.social focuses on enhancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health and learning disorders in children and adolescents.

The Healthy Brain Network (HBN) at the Child Mind Institute is committed to #OpenScience by making all collected phenotypic and neuroimaging data openly available! 🧵
