Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a Summer School on Mathematics in Brain Imaging at the
UCLA Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), from July 14 - 25,
2008. Funding is available to attend the workshop via a number of
scholarships sponsored by IPAM, and by the UCLA Center for Computational
Biology (CCB). We hope you consider joining us for the Summer School. More
details are below and a full schedule of speakers is linked here:

Please consider forwarding this announcement to colleagues who may be
interested - and please encourage your students and colleagues to come!

IPAM/CCB Summer School: Mathematics in Brain Imaging
July 14 - 25, 2008
University of California, Los Angeles
This two-week intensive workshop will focus on mathematical techniques
applied to brain images to measure, map and model brain structure and
function. Topics will range from modeling anatomical structures in MRI
scans, and mapping connectivity in diffusion tensor images, to statistical
analysis of functional brain images from fMRI, EEG, and MEG. Current
applications in radiology and neuroscience will be highlighted, as will new
directions in the mathematics of structural and functional image analysis.
In the second week on Functional Brain Mapping, a series of lectures on
diffusion tensor imaging will discuss mathematics and tools for
registration, segmentation, fiber tracking and connectivity modeling in
tensor and "beyond-tensor" (high-angular resolution) diffusion images, using
metrics on Riemannian manifolds. Software implementing a wide range of
algorithms will be demonstrated; tutorial notes will be provided. Talks will
interest newcomers as well as experts in the field. Morning lectures on the
principles behind the methods; afternoon lectures will go in-depth into
applications.
Program Schedule
Week 1: Computational Anatomy, July 14 -18, 2008
Week 2: Functional Brain Mapping, July 21 -25, 2008
