Scientific Overview
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 and other imaging modalities. 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.
