This email is to let you know that a Workshop on Brain Connectivity will
be held in Havana, Cuba from the 26th to the 29thof April 2004. It is
organized by Pedro Valdes-Sosa from Cuban Neuroscience Center
www.cneuro.edu.cu <http://www.cneuro.edu.cu/> and Rolf Kotter from
Neuroscience Group at the C. &. O. Vogt Brain Research Institute in
Düsseldorf, Germany http://www.hirn.uni-duesseldorf.de/rk/
<http://www.hirn.uni-duesseldorf.de/rk/> .
You can visit the European Community Thematic Networks website (
http://www.neuroinf.org <http://www.neuroinf.org/> ) for details of the
First Functional Brain Connectivity workshops held in Düsseldorf, 2002
and the second one in Cambridge University, 2003.
This year we will continue in the tradition of the previous workshops.
However the meeting will be extended to four full days in order to come
in more detail in “hot” topics. New additions to the list of subjects to
be discussed will be the estimation of connectivity by the fusion of
different neuroimaging techniques as well as the evaluation of
connectivity in different pathological states.
The workshop will be organized around seven general themes, listed
below:
1. Causal Inference: Graphical Models and Time Series
2. Statistical Techniques for Measuring Connectivity
3. Anatomical Connectivity
4. Functional Connectivity
5. Multimodal Neuroimages for Discovering Connectivity
6. Interventional Studies of Neural Causal Systems
7. Connectivity Changes in Pathology
This workshop will address these and related questions that arise when
interpreting functional imaging (fMRI and PET), electrophysiological
(EEG, MEG, LFP and single/ multiple unit recordings) data and their
fusion.
