Optics Brain Topical Meeting

项目摘要

PI: Rogan, Elizabeth Proposal No.: 1540895 The high level of technical development stimulated by the BRAIN initiatives is drawing new researchers into the field from diverse disciplines ranging from chemistry and genetics, to laser optics and neurosurgery. OSA has identified the urgent need for a forum where these researchers can come together and discuss optics in the brain at many levels. The researchers will participate in discussions of highly technical components of optical design and optical interactions with tissue. They will also consider the motivating factors in developing optical tools for neuroscience research across organisms, from cells and flies to rodents and humans. This meeting will provide a forum for presentation of results from projects related to the BRAIN initiative and Human Brain Project, and will stimulate new ideas and collaborations that will provide visionary direction for future projects. In addition this meeting will provide an opportunity for students, trainees and young investigators to present their work, and to hear and network with internationally-renowned invited speakers who represent the broad diversity of this burgeoning field. This meeting will serve to shape the careers of young trainees embarking on careers in which optics and the brain converge.The Optics and the Brain meeting will be held at the Pinnacle Vancouver Harbourside Hotel, Vancouver, Canada April 12-15, 2015.

PI：Rogan，Elizabeth提案编号：1540895大脑计划刺激的高水平技术发展正在吸引新的研究人员进入该领域，从从化学和遗传学到激光光学和神经外科手术的各种学科。 OSA已经确定了一个论坛的迫切需要，这些论坛可以在许多层面上聚集在一起并讨论大脑中的光学。研究人员将参与有关光学设计高度技术组成部分和与组织光学相互作用的讨论。他们还将考虑开发跨生物体神经科学研究的光学工具的激励因素，从细胞和苍蝇到啮齿动物和人类。这次会议将提供一个论坛，以介绍与大脑计划和人类脑项目相关的项目的结果，并刺激新的想法和协作，这将为未来的项目提供远见的方向。此外，这次会议还将为学生，受训者和年轻的调查人员提供机会展示他们的作品，并与国际知名的邀请发言人聆听和联系，这些演讲者代表了这个新兴领域的广泛多样性。这次会议将有助于塑造年轻学员的职业生涯，从事光学和大脑汇合的职业。
