Summer School "The Visual Brain" - Shenyang, China, 22-27 July 2013
Summer School "The Visual Brain" - Shenyang, China, 22-27 July 2013 - World class key speakers
Understanding the visual system and the underlying mechanisms of visual perception are hot research topics, and are key to the prevention of blindness. Inspired by the successful earlier editions, the third International Summer School on Biomedical Image Analysis (ISS-Shenyang 2013, 22 - 27 July 2013) in Shenyang, China, will be a high-level event dedicated to the imaging and analysis of the visual system.
See the website: www.iss.neu.edu.cn
An impressive list of top keynote speakers makes it a highlight not to be missed. Speakers include prof. Tianzi Jiang (Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing), prof. Wei He ( Founder and President of He Shi Eye Care System), prof. Ningli Wang (Director of Tongren Hospital, Beijing), prof. Hua Guo (Tsinghua University, Beijing), prof. Xingde Li (Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, USA) and many others.
Following the successful earlier editions of the Summer School, we keep the same formula:
- Tutorial talks on state-of-the-art imaging of the visual system (optical, MRI, functional),
- Tutorial talks on biologically-inspired computational algorithms for medical image analysis,
- Biomedical applications in computer-aided diagnosis, such as for diabetes screening,
- clinical applications in ophthalmology and MRI connectivity (DTI tractography) of the visual system,
- A continuous poster session by participants, and
- Visits to the impressive Neusoft Medical Systems (China's largest Medical Imaging industrial campus) and He Shi Eye University in Shenyang.
The lectures are combined with an in-depth tutorialworkshop by prof. ter Haar Romeny (Eindhoven, Shenyang) on geometric models for early vision mechanisms. Prof. Romeny is renowned for his excellent teaching capabilities.
Shenyang is a beautiful and historical city in the Northeast of China, featuring a Ming dynasty Forbidden City. Shenyang is connected by high-speed train to Beijing (4.5h). ISS-Shenyang 2013 is an annual event attended by computer vision engineers, vision scientists and science-oriented MD's from the Asia-Pacific region, as well as from other parts of the world.
The Summer School is free of charge. Please visit the website for program, speakers and registration: www.iss.neu.edu.cn.
We aim to have a high quality and intense meeting, at faculty and PhD level. Attendance is limited to 60 participants.
Deadline for registration is 30 June 2013.
We look forward to seeing you in Shenyang in July 2013.
