Workshop on Vision and Brain Imaging

Tuesday 30 Nov 2010, 09:00 → 17:00 Europe/Stockholm

FB53 (AlbaNova)

The purpose of this workshop is to foster interchange that could lead to new collaborations within the platform Computational Life Science and Cognitive Systems at the School of Computer Science and Communication at KTH.

An overall intention is that the focus of the presentations should not primarily be towards tangible research contributions, but on providing overviews of topics and activities that could inspire or be relevant for future collaborations in the areas of vision and brain imaging.

Please, register at http://INDICO/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=2454 before November 23. We need information about the number of participants for planning food and coffee. Participation is free of charge.

Contact and organizers: Anders Lansner (ala@csc.kth.se), Tony Lindeberg (tony@csc.kth.se), Gert Svensson (gert@pdc.kth.se), Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski (jeanette@csc.kth.se)
