NeuroHack - 1.0

The first hackathon where the instrument isn't a framework — it's an AI research system.

For one week, 100 shortlisted participants get full access to Cortex Premium — the same AI research system that researchers use to solve decade old problems worthy of Nobel Prizes. Not a demo. Not a stripped-down tier. The real thing.

The Challenge

Build something that matters in neuroscience, brain-computer interfaces, genomics, or bioinformatics. A prototype that runs and pipeline that revolutionizes treatment approach. Held to the standards of genuine research, not the standards of a typical hackathon.

What Makes This Different

• 🔓 Cortex Premium — free for every participant. The same tool researchers use to solve decades-old problems. You're not building with toys. You're building with an AI research counterpart.
• 💰3.5 lakh prize pool
• 🏆 Winners receive the remaining 6,000 credits of Cortex Premium
• 🎤 Top 10 teams present at an online symposium to judges who evaluate scientific rigor.
• 💼 Potential opportunity with the team behind Cortex — earned, not promised
• 🧬 No prior research experience required — but the bar for thinking is high
