[BIC-announce] TALK ANNOUNCEMENT - Virtual Reality in Neurosurgery/Anatomy Training

[Jennifer Chew, Ms.]

 DATE:  Wednesday, January 25, 2012
TIME:  2:00 P.M
PLACE:  de Grandpre Communications Centre

SPEAKER:  Dr. S. de Ribaupierre, Div. of Neurosurgery, University of Western Ontario
TITLE:  The use of virtual reality for neuroanatomical and neurosurgical trainining

Please note:  Dr. Collins has included a short biosketch below.
Hi all,

Dr. de Ribaupierre will give a talk wednesday (tomorrow) Jan 25 at 2pm in the DeGrandPre room at the MNI on the use of virtual reality for neuroanatomical and neurosurgical training.

She and Dr. Terry Peters collaborate with my group in the development of tools for image guided surgery. I think that her talk will be of wide interest, and particularly for the anatomists, neurospychologist, surgeons, fellows and residents.  Please feel free to forward this announcement to those you think might be interested.

A short biosketch is below.

Dr de Ribaupierre earned her MD at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. After a Neurosurgery residency in Lausanne (Switzerland), she completed an epilepsy fellowship in the Fondation Rothschild in Paris (France), then a pediatric neurosurgery fellowship in the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Division of Neurosurgery at the University of Western Ontario, working as a pediatric neurosurgeon with some involvement in pediatric and adult trauma and adult epilepsy surgery.

Her main research areas are virtual reality as an educational tool, such as neuroanatomy teaching for medical students and residents, as well as surgical simulation.
Her clinical research focuses on epilepsy, cognition and functional imaging.   She is collaborating with CSTAR, Robarts and the Centre for Brain and Mind. On-going projects include 3D neuoendoscopy, virtual brain modeling, MRS and DTI in traumatic brain injury and the role of the cerebellum in attention.

recent papers include:
Presurgical language mapping in children with epilepsy: Clinical usefulness of functional magnetic resonance imaging for the planning of cortical stimulation.
