Meeting Description:
International Summer School on Multimodal Approaches in Neuroscience Leipzig, Germany, July 19 - 21, 2010
The Summer School is relevant for anybody working in cognitive Neuroscience, including linguists. As soon as anybody uses modern imaging techniques, they are confronted with the daily issues of how to apply more than one imaging technique, how to interpret these data and to define brain structures and links between them associated with their field of research
This Summer School will review and discuss different aspects of the cutting-edge topic multimodal approaches in neuroscience:
(1) How different brain imaging techniques are combined in a synergistic way to increase the precision of temporal and spatial data in order to facilitate the improved interpretation of data (2) How anatomical data from human post-mortem brains and data from imaging techniques are integrated in order to answer burning questions about form and function in the brain (3) How to progress beyond localization of activation by understanding the interactions between brain areas
Target Group:
We cordially invite national and international graduate students with a background in computer science, linguistics, neurobiology, neurology, physics, psychiatry, psychology, or related fields to participate and contribute to the summer school. Participants are invited to present their current project in the form of a poster.
There is no registration fee for the Summer School.
