Imaging the Brain: Neurons, Networks and Behavior
September 5-7, 2003
New York University
Center for Neural Science

Many of the most important achievements over the last decade in 
Neuroscience have been dependent on the development of new empirical 
methods, driven by interdisciplinary collaborations. Of particular 
significance has been the development and application of techniques for 
imaging brain structure and function.

The conference will focus on how the use of brain imaging techniques is 
leading to a deeper understanding of human behavior, perception, cognition, 
and emotion in terms of the detailed biophysical, cellular, and molecular 
mechanisms of brain function. The conference will include a diverse group 
of research presentations on the use of imaging to study the brain at 
scales ranging from cortical systems to synapses. We will have an opening 
address by Marcus Raichle, following by four sessions: Functional 
organization of sensory systems, Fronto-temporal interactions in memory, 
Activity-dependent functional connectivity, Technological innovations. Each 
session will be followed by a panel discussion/debate.

Confirmed Speakers
Peter Basser, Richard Buxton, Hollis Cline, Mark D'Esposito, David Van 
Essen, Amiram Grinvald, Russell Jacobs, Fumitaka Kimura, Eleanor Maguire, 
Randall McIntosh, Venkatesh Murthy, Marcus Raichle, Mark Schnitzer, Daniel 
Silverman, Karel Svoboda, Leslie Ungerleider, Wim Vanduffel, Anthony 
Wagner, Brian Wandell.
