Dear all,
the UK INCF node is starting special interest groups (SIGs) along six
different areas
(http://www.neuroinformatics.org.uk/special-interest-groups-sigs ).
These groups will be officially announced on the 20 April INCF
symposium at this year's meeting of the British Neuroscience
Association (BNA) in Harrogate.
SIG2 on 'Image-Based Neuroinformatics' is led by Marcus Kaiser and
Albert Burger. The aim of the SIG is to bring together developers and
users of Neuroinformatics tools concerning image-based analysis.
Developers can learn from users what the needs and challenges in
software development are and users can learn about state-of-the-art
analysis in the field and how to use existing tools. Neuroimaging is
covering a wide range of experimental techniques from MRI, PET, EEG,
and MEG to optical imaging (Calcium imaging, voltage-sensitive dyes).
The aim of the SIG is also to link the UK to ongoing international
INCF activities in the area.
Topipcs of the SIG consist of but are not limited to:
- Imaging analysis tools: e.g. FSL, SPM, LONI pipeline
- Databases, atlases, and ontologies
- Brain Connectivity / Connectome Analysis
Please feel free to meet us at the BNA meeting or to sign up for the
mailing list of this special interest group. If you wish to join the
SIG2 list, please sign up at
http://lists.inf.ed.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/uknode-sig2
The mailing list, rather than discussing specific software such as
FSL, is meant for announcements of new software or atlases/databases,
meetings on neuroimaging and brain connectivity, and funding
opportunities which are open to UK/EU researchers.
Best,
Marcus
BTW: Topics related to brain connectivity may also be discussed at
