7 years ago Hi @katjaq , my name is Kasia and I work on Mozilla’s Internet Health Report. At Mozfest we will be present with an “Internet Research Hub” #618 (last comment) - an easy-going, cozy space for discussions and networking both with us about Internet Health and among researchers themselves.
We also invite anyone who does work in an Internet research field to sign up and present their work at a couple of open display tables we will have in the hub. If you would like to present something in the Hub in addition to your official session, let me know! We will promote these sessions throughout the festival. You can sign up spontaneously with pen and paper on site or if you would like to save a spot beforehand, drop me an email at kasia@mozillafoundation.org with a short description of the session.
In any case, I would like to invite you to pass by the hub and say hi. We will start with an informal "Research and coffee grinder” get-together at the beginning of the festival where people can get to know each other. Space and exact schedule for the Hub are still being decided and I will update you once we know the details. Hope to see you there!

What will happen in your session?
A brain. 1.3 kilograms – 100 billion neurons and as many connections as to reach to the moon and back – explore it! work with it! Become part of the scientific research process! All you need is a web browser. We want to go with our participants on an exploration tour through the amazing neuroanatomy of the brain. We developed a Web app that allows people to work on brain imaging data in the browser – on phones, tablets, or computers. we want to engage our participants into a real-time synchronised collaboration on real brain imaging data and together participate in the scientific research process.
Join the fun, join research, become part of our citizen neuroscientist crowd!
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
For all participants from any background, we aim at: creating a community of people willing to discover the brain together, actively experiencing research in an open & collaborative environment. We would like to welcome everyone into our community and show them how easy it is to join and make a contribution to science. empowering our participants with what they need to continue as autonomous citizen-neuroscientists beyond the time of the Mozilla Festival. We will explore together brain data and learn about it. Participants will learn about the neocortex, its role and its variability across humans and other species. learning how non-neuroscientists approach the tasks involved in the manual delineation of brain structure to improve our tools and create open teaching material
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
If there was a possibility of having an additional tablet, ideally with a stylus or pen, we would be happy to use those during our session since the collaborative drawing/delineation of brain regions is so much fun and allows you a very intuitive insight into the data. Otherwise we will use the ones that we can bring plus the phones of our participants :)
