How to apply neurotechnology in practice: hakaton Neuromedia-2017
A few days remain until the end of the first stage of the All-Russian hackathon Neuromedia-2017 , one of the organizers of which is ITMO University .
UPD: the hackathon qualifying stage will not end on October 29, as it was stated earlier, but on November 5 : those who wanted to participate, but were afraid not to have time for the task, have an excellent chance of winning!
Hackaton topics : product development at the junction of media, neural networks and IT. The purpose of the competition: to create a product / service for the NeuroNet market (the market for human-machine communications based on neurotechnologies is one of the projects of the National Technology Initiative).

Young specialists up to 30 years old from different fields are invited to participate in the hackathon - programmers, marketers, engineers, analysts, designers, as well as students studying or interested in one of these areas. To participate in the hackathon it is not necessary to be in St. Petersburg - the first stage of the competition is online .

The qualifying round takes place online and will end on November 5th .
Within this stage, participants need to select one of the tasks, work out the idea, design it in accordance with the layout (it can be downloaded here ) and send it to a.baranova@spb.gs.ru.
The list of participants who will be in the final (10 projects) will be posted on the hackathon website on November 6.
The second phase of the hackathon will take place on November 24-26 in St. Petersburg (in person). Venue: coworking center "Boiling Point". The organizers pay for the transfer and accommodation of the hackathon finalists who will arrive in St. Petersburg from other cities.
As part of this stage, the teams will receive additional data from the organizers, finalize their prototypes and present them to the jury during the pitch sessions.
To participate in the hackathon, you must select one of several tasks and propose your solution. All tasks are combined into four cases, which, in turn, are divided into two thematic tracks: neuromarketing and smart home.
Cases from the track "neuromarketing"
Case from the track "smart home"
Of the 10 projects that reached the final, the jury will select four (two from each track). The first places will receive a cash prize of 100 thousand rubles, the second - 50 thousand rubles. In addition, participants will be able to get acquainted with the NeuroNet community and get into the program of the National Technology Initiative.
The hackathon is organized by the GS Group holding and ITMO University with the support of the Neuronet Industry Union.
The project jury included representatives of the GS Group, ASI, the Center for Strategic Research North-West Foundation, the NMSBA (Neuromarketing Science & Business Association) Foundation
Experts from ITMO University: Director of the Institute of Design and Urbanism Sergey Mityagin, Head of the International Laboratory "Urban Lighting Light Design" Natalia Bystryantseva, Director of the Center for Science and Technology Foresight Natalia Lukovnikova, Head of the Project Office of NeuroNet ITMO University Vitaly Zubchenko.

Interim results
The list of participants who will be in the final (10 projects) will be posted on the hackathon website on November 6.
The final
The second phase of the hackathon will take place on November 24-26 in St. Petersburg (in person). Venue: coworking center "Boiling Point". The organizers pay for the transfer and accommodation of the hackathon finalists who will arrive in St. Petersburg from other cities.

Projects
To participate in the hackathon, you must select one of several tasks and propose your solution. All tasks are combined into four cases, which, in turn, are divided into two thematic tracks: neuromarketing and smart home.
Cases from the track "neuromarketing"
- Information infrastructure . The task of the participants is to propose solutions for the optimization and management of state information systems in St. Petersburg.
- Visualization of psycho-emotional states of a person. Within the framework of this case, the participants should, on the basis of data obtained from the neural interface, develop a system for visualizing the human condition for theatrical production. By the way, contemporary art really poses tasks of this kind for artists and developers - we have already talked about one of such projects in our blog.
- Recommended services . The participants' task is to propose a system of “smart” advertising, which is formed based on user preferences, or a system for recommending television content (how neurointerfaces work - including to track consumer behavior - we talked about one of the University’s accelerator’s resident projects) ITMO).
Case from the track "smart home"
- This case offers participants one of two tasks: “the climate of the smart home” (development of algorithms for the operation of the “smart” thermostat) and “lighting the smart home” (setting up the lighting control system in the cottage). By the way, at ITMO University, projects related to smart home technologies are being developed by the teams of the secure information technology department - you can read about its work in this direction here .
Prizes
Of the 10 projects that reached the final, the jury will select four (two from each track). The first places will receive a cash prize of 100 thousand rubles, the second - 50 thousand rubles. In addition, participants will be able to get acquainted with the NeuroNet community and get into the program of the National Technology Initiative.
