Day 2: We were so deep into our projects that we barely lifted our heads from our laptops! After Nick Souter’s keynote, the day was packed with intense project time and an energetic unconference! #BHDonostia2025

Our project leaders presented an incredibly rich set of ideas today — from p-hacking metrics to denoising modules, carbon impact estimation tools, BIDSification with LLMs, and phase-based fMRI analysis. A fantastic preview of what this BHDonostia2025 will produce! ⚡🧠

Day 1 started with our first keynote by @urrestarazu.bsky.social, “When defaults return gibberish.” A deep dive into modelling categorical predictors in R, how defaults can mislead, and how careful choices lead to clearer, more transparent science.! A great start to #BHDonostia2025!

Project 3. FAIR-PsyFlow: making psychological assessment methods and data FAIR

Psychology and behavioral research rely on assessment tools—but how do we make them more transparent, reusable, and aligned with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable)?
