The 2nd Whistler Scientific Workshop on Brain Functional Organization, Connectivity and Behavior
Whistler, BC, Canada          March 9-12, 2014

There has been an explosion of activity recently in the area of functional MRI and connectivity mapping and this small workshop in the beautiful town of Whistler BC is aimed at exploring the latest breakthroughs in analysis approaches, models, and applications. Emphasis will be on methods, the relationship of network measures to behavior, and the implications of network mapping in terms of broadening our understanding of functional neuroanatomy and basic neuroscience.

The workshop will be kept small (less than 100 attendees) in order to facilitate discussion amongst all participants so please register early to ensure a spot.

Abstracts: One page Abstracts for proffered talks or posters can be submitted to:lesley.nadeau at yale.edu<mailto:lesley.nadeau at yale.edu>.

Topics:

1.     Functional connectivity methods - network measures
2.     Connectivity and Behavior
3.     Integrated structural and functional connectivity – methods & stationarity and spectral components
4.     Clinical applications of functional connectivity or multimodal measures of connectivity
5.     Neuroanatomy and brain mapping
