CALL FOR ABSTRACT- DEADLINE IS APPROACHING: JULY 15th - REGISTRATION IS OPEN
Inverse problems in brain imaging and multimodal data fusion Montreal,
CANADA, August 24-29, 2009

*****************

Sylvain Baillet, Jean-Marc Lina and myself are organizing a workshop
entitled "Inverse problems in brain imagery and multimodal data fusion".
This workshop supported by the "Centre de Recherche en Mathématiques" de
l'Université de Montréal ( <http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/>
http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/) will last  5 days in Montreal from the 24th to
the 29th of August 2009 The diversity of non invasive imaging devices (MRI,
EEG, MEG, Near Infrared

Spectroscopyl) allows one to explore the brain dynamics provided there
exists a mathematical framework that encompass this multimodality and the
complexity of the inherent sources of the cerebral signals. Despite a
general agreement about the source modelling, many mathematical strategies
have been elaborated in order to solve the inevitable ill-posed inverse
problem. What are the common features between those approaches? What are the
mathematical frameworks the most appropriate for handling simultaneous
measurements from different modalities? What are the best approaches for
estimating both spatial and temporal brain activities?

The workshop will consist in full 3-hours invited lectures followed by more
specific presentations and one poster session.

Participants interested in presenting a contributed talk or a poster are
invited to submit an abstract before the 15th of July 2009.

Participants interested in attending, the registration is now open, places
are limited
