Objectives
COST Action NEUROMATH – Workshop 2008 The objective of the NEUROMATH Workshop is to describe state-of-the-art advanced mathematical methods for the estimation of human cortical activity and connectivity using non-invasive neuroelectric and hemodynamic measurements. In the NEUROMATH Workshop, through lectures and poster sessions, scientists are called to discuss their computational tools in order to offer a comprehensive approach to the problem of the estimation of brain activity and connectivity for sensory and cognitive tasks. The NEUROMATH Workshop will offer a review of the most advanced processing methods for brain activity currently being applied in several leading European research institutions.

Areas of intesrest

COST Action NEUROMATH – Workshop 2008Scientific contributions will be welcomed in the fields of

EEG, Magnetoencephalogram, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Mathematical and computer models for neurons and neural tissues
Theory and algorithms in foward problem
Inverse problem and source imaging
Mapping techniques
Estimation of connectivity techniques from neuroelectric and/or hemodynamic recordings
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)

Contribution format

In addition to lectures, a poster session will host posters from scientists attending the conference. Abstract may not exceed 2 pages. Submission of manuscripts must be done via e-mail to NeuroMath@mti.uni-jena.de as a file attachment in Microsoft Word format. It is necessary that the authors use the Abstract Template File for Word provided .

Venue

The workshop will be held April 28^th and 29^th 2008 at the Conference center of Friedrich Schiller University, located in the beautiful historic Dornburg castle near Jena.

Near Jena the A4 motoway (Dresden-Eisenach-Frankfurt/M.) crosses the A9 motorway (Rotock-Munich). Within the city, thre are two exits of the A4 motorway: Jena-Lobeda and Jena-Göschwitz. The direct connection to the A9 motorway can be reached via the nearby Hermsdorfer Kreuz intersection.

Publication

A selection of the best posters and the invited talks will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Physiology (Paris). Prospective authors will be asked by the scientific committee to submit a full paper of their contribution.
