IPAM/CCB Summer School: Mathematics in Brain Imaging

Month: July 2008

Date: July 14--25

Name: IPAM/CCB Summer School: Mathematics in Brain Imaging

Location: Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), UCLA, Los Angeles, California.

Description

This summer program will focus on mathematical techniques used to measure, map and model brain structure and function.

Topics

Include modeling anatomical structures in MRI scans, mapping connectivity in diffusion tensor images, and statistical analysis of functional brain images. Current applications in radiology and neuroscience will be highlighted, as will new directions in the mathematics of structural and functional image analysis.

Organizing Committee

Michael Miller, Thomas Nichols, Russell Poldrack, Jonathan Taylor, Paul Thompson, Keith Worsley.
