Call for papers:

IEEE Signal Processing in Medicine and Biology Symposium (SPMB11)

                     http://www.poly.edu/SPMB2011

Saturday, December 10, 2011
Polytechnic Institute of New York University, Brooklyn, NY

Signal processing plays a broad role in the development of medical devices
and in the analysis of physiological signals. This one-day symposium is
intended to provide a forum for a discussion of ongoing research in the
development and application of signal processing methods in medicine and
biology. The symposium, sponsored by IEEE Region 1, NYU-Poly, and the
City College of New York, promises to be a stimulating meeting on
biomedical signal processing.

Keynote speaker
William Bialek, Princeton University,	Fundamental physical limits in biological systems

Invited speakers
Simon Kelly, City College of New York,		On eliciting and processing of EEG
Elisa Konofagou, Columbia University,		Intrinsic wave imaging
Liam Paninski, Columbia University,	 Neural coding problems
Paul Sajda, Columbia University,		Neural engineering
Eero Simoncelli, New York University,		Computational neural science
Mario Svirsky, New York University,		Auditory psychophysics and cochlear implants

We invite engineers, scientists, practitioners, and students to submit papers for presentation in poster sessions or to attend the symposium. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore online. The technical program, registration form, and directions will be posted on the above web site.

The topics for the symposium may include, but are not limited to:

   Analysis of EEG, ECG, respiratory, and other biomedical signals
   Linear, nonlinear, and adaptive filtering and prediction
   Machine learning and classification
   Synchronization, coherence, coupling, connectivity, and causality
   Nonlinear dynamics and system modeling
   Multi-sensor and array processing
   Time-frequency and non-stationary signal analysis
   Signal processing methods in bioinformatics
   Medical imaging - image formation, analysis, etc
   Component analysis (PCA, ICA, etc) and source separation
   Brain-computer interfaces (BCI)
   Artifact rejection
   Biomedical instrumentation for novel signal measurement
   Open problems, emerging techniques and applications
