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 IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission deadline: May 15, 2001 Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2001 Camera-ready papers due: July 31, 2001 For more information about the conference and paper format, please refer to the ICONIP2001 web site: http://www.cie-china.org/ICONIP2001 SESSION CHAIRS Dr. Jagath C.
