DESCRIPTION:Anton Arkhipov\, Allen Institute - Larry Benowitz\, Harvard Me
 dical School and Boston Children's Hospital - Holly Bridge\, Oxford Centre
  for functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain (FMRIB)\nThis work
 shop has been recorded and is available on-line : https://mediaspace.epfl.
 ch/media/0_zpmasi5l\n\nVision is an interdisciplinary field\, which spans 
 from basic research to clinical activity and everyday care. New technologi
 es such as computational tools\, artificial intelligence\, prostheses\, an
 d molecular and genetic therapies are complementing the spectrum of activi
 ty in Vision.\nThis workshop will cover the broad field of vision research
  and clinical therapy: artificial intelligence\, computer science\, neuro
 engineering\, cognition\, system neuroscience\, and medicine. It brings t
 ogether the different expertises to start a transversal approach to vision
 . The goal is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations and the clinical 
 translation of novel technology for human benefit.\nThis half-day event wi
 ll include three lectures from experts and three short talks from young re
 searchers.\n\nInvited Experts\n\nAnton Arkhipov is an investigator in the
  Modeling\, Analysis\, and Theory group at the Allen Institute. He applie
 s high-performance computing to simulate neuronal activity in the mouse vi
 sual system.\n\nLarry Benowitz is Professor of Neurosurgery and Ophthalmo
 logy at Harvard Medical School and holds the Neurosurgical Innovation and 
 Research Endowed Professor ship at the  Boston Children's Hospital. His r
 esearch is dedicated to the discovery of basic mechanisms that control the
  growth of nerve connections and apply insights from this work to promote 
 regeneration and functional recovery after CNS injury.\n\nHolly Bridge ho
 lds a Royal Society University Research Fellowship at the Oxford Centre fo
 r functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain (FMRIB). She investig
 ates the function of the human visual system\, in particular how differen
 t visual areas contribute to the computation of depth\, and how this chang
 es in subjects who are lacking in depth perception. She is also intereste
 d in the changes of structure and function of the brain in subjects who ar
 e blind.\n\nJointly organized by BBP\, BMI & CNP\n\nPlease download the pr
 ogram for the complete list of speakers.\n\nRegistrations are now closed.\
