> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> You are cordially invited to the Simulation Technologies Meeting on Thursday October 15, 2009 in the De Grandpré Communications Centre
> 
> The use of Simulation technologies are becoming an integral component of education and research in a variety of disciplines. l am very pleased that the Brain Tumour Research Centre can play an role in helping to bring together a number of companies and researchers to share their ideas concerning present and future developments in this exciting field.
> 
> Representatives from CAE, BrainLAB and Accuray (Cyberknife) will provide insights into how they feel the field is developing. Dr. Diraddo from the NRC will outline the new virtual reality system being developed for Neuro-Oncology and have some of the prototypes avaliable for everyone to use. A number of researchers from the Montreal Neurological Hospital and Institute and the McGill Centre for Intelligent Machines will provide interesting new simulation paradigms that are being explored.
