DESCRIPTION:Three speakers from Biomedical Image Analysis Group (BiomedIA)
  at Imperial College London\, invited by CIBM\nOur speakers will present t
 hree short talks about where they will introduce methods for building and 
 analysing a macroscale model of human brain connectivity from Magnetic Res
 onance Imaging data.\nDr Emma C. Robinson\, "Improving connectome modellin
 g via a multi-modal\, multi-template approach.”  \nEmma is a member of
  the BiomedIA research group. Her main focus is developing image processin
 g and analysis tools for brain connectomics research. To this end she has 
 made major contributions towards the Human Connectome Project (HCP: http:/
 /www.humanconnectome.org ) developing a tool for cortical surface alignmen
 t (MSM: http://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/msm ) that has featured in t
 he development of the gold standard HCP Multi-modal Parcellation of the Hu
 man Cerebral Cortex. She now works on the developing Human Connectome Proj
 ect (dHCP: http://www.developingconnectome.org/ )\, developing new methods
  for cortical surface registration that move away from the single populati
 on average model of the brain.\nDr Sarah Parisot\, "Automatic brain Parcel
 lation: challenges and multi-modal approaches”  \nSarah is a research 
 associate at BiomedIA. Her research focuses on graph-based methods for bra
 in analysis and disease detection. She currently works on brain connectome
  analysis\, developing methods for automatic brain parcellation using spec
 tral clustering and graphical models.\nIra S. Ktena\, "Computational analy
 sis and modeling of brain networks"\nIra is a PhD student at BiomedIA\, un
 der the supervision of Professor Daniel Rueckert. She holds a Diploma in E
 lectrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University 
 of Athens and an MSc in Biomedical Engineering from Imperial College Londo
 n. Her current research focuses on the investigation of the human connecto
 me\, which is one of the greatest scientific challenges of the 21st centur
 y. Her major interest lies in developing methods for modelling and analysi
 ng brain networks\, whose dynamics can potentially shed light on neurodege
 nerative and neuropsychiatric disorders.
