Functional Brain Imaging Workshop
On June 8, 1992, immediately preceding the 3rd International Congress
on Brain Electromagnetic Topography, a didactic workshop will be
organized in Amsterdam by The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and
Sciences on "Functional Brain Imaging". Such a workshop seems
appropriate since recently many rather non-invasive techniques have
become available for functional brain anatomy in man. Since these
techniques were developed quite independently from each other in
research areas with little or no interaction, we believe that a
workshop devoted to the pros and cons of each of these imaging
techniques might be useful.
Specialists on PET- (Lammertsma), SPECT (Todd-Prokopek), MRI (Andrew),
MEG (Hamalainen), EEG (Scherg), Temperature T (Shevelev), and optical
imaging techniques (Grinvald) have been invited to give up-to-date
reviews. All speakers have been asked to address the same questions
in their lectures, like: what is the localization precision of
the method; what is the resolution of the maps in time and space;
can the maps be correlated with anatomical structures; can the method
be applied clinically, etc. The workshop will conclude with a lecture
on 3D-imaging (Viergever) based on examples of the reviewed brain
imaging techniques. Apart from the invited methodological lectures,
there will be the possibility for the participants to present
applications via poster presentations, as indicated in the attached
program.
Lectures and a selection of poster presentations will be published
in a special issue of the "Journal of Physics in Medicine and Biology",
fully devoted to this workshop.
