BSEC 2010: Annual ORNL Biomedical Science and Engineering Conference: Biomedical Research and Analysis in Neuroscience (BRAiN)

The Biomedical Science and Engineering Center (BSEC) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is holding its annual conference on May 25-26, 2010, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. BSEC is the lead organizer/sponsor. The conference is co-sponsored by the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology and Biology Society (EMBS).

Conference Theme:

The Biomedical Science and Engineering Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory announces its annual conference. This year's theme focuses on Biomedical Research and Analysis in Neurosceince (BRAIN). The conference goals are to: 1) identify the cross-cutting, interdisciplinary tools and applications needed by the medical and sceintific neurosceince communities in the areas of brain injury (military and civilian) and neuro-regeneration, and 2) facilitate the dialogue and collaborations necessary to address neuroscience topics of national interest.

Papers and Posters are invited for the following topics, with specific emphasis on brain injuries and neuro-regeneration:

* Neuroscience/Biomedical Informatics: Data acquisition, integration, mining, accessibility, multi-modal assessment, computational data management and integration
* Computational Models for Neuroscience: Predictive models, mechanistic models, statistical models, 3D and 4D simulations and visualizations, models of behavioral outcomes
* Neuroscience Measurement Imaging Science: Imaging of the brain and neuro-anatomy, image processing, integration, diagnostic and detections devices, surgical and optical tools
* Neuroscience/Neuroanatomy: Topics related to the sensory cortex and retina (independent from the sensory cortex), neuro-prosthetics
