FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

The 8th International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICONIP
2001)
November 14-18, 2001
Shanghai, China.

SPECIAL SESSION ON BRAIN IMAGING

Brain imaging is an active research area and explores information
processing and diseases of human brain by analyzing images the
brain taken by various imaging modalities. This session will focus
on recent advances in brain imaging research to explore natural
information processing mechanisms and investigate characteristics
of brain diseases by analyzing images of human brain. Research
papers are solicited for presentation in both structural and functional
brain imaging but not restricted to the following areas.

1.      Structural brain imaging (Xray-CT, MRI)
        Brain shelling, detection of sulcul and gyral patterns, cortical
        segmentation, cortical parcellation, segmentation of subcortical
        structures, 3-D visualization, rendering; morphometrical correlates
        of neurological and psychiatric disease.

2.      Functional brain imaging (EEG, MEG, fMRI, PET, SPECT, Optical,
        Near Infrared)
        Source localization, source separation, statistical parameter
mapping,
        time-series analysis, multi-modality imaging, image registration,
image normalization, resting brain experiments, group data analysis, random
        design, conjunction analysis.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

The authors should send one original manuscript to the conference
secretariat by post-mail and send a PDF version file to one of the session
chairs and the conference secretariat ([log in to unmask]) by e-mail
before May 15.
Manuscripts should be in double column IEEE format, and up to 6 pages
