Baillet, Jean-MarcLina and myself are organizing a workshop entitled<BR>"Inverse
problems in brain imagery and multimodal data fusion". This<BR>workshop
supported by the "Centre de Recherche en Mathématiques" de<BR>l'Université de
Montréal (</FONT><A href=""><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/</FONT></A><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>) will last 5 days in<BR>Montreal from the 24th to the 29th of
August 2009<BR>The diversity of non invasive imaging devices (MRI, EEG, MEG,
Near Infrared<BR>Spectroscopyl) allows one to explore the brain dynamics
provided there<BR>exists a mathematical framework that encompass this
multimodality and the<BR>complexity of the inherent sources of the cerebral
signals. Despite a<BR>general agreement about the source modelling, many
mathematical strategies<BR>have been elaborated in order to solve the inevitable
ill-posed inverse<BR>problem.. What are the common features between those
approaches? What are the<BR>mathematical frameworks the most appropriate for
handling simultaneous<BR>measurements from different modalities? What are the
best approaches for<BR>estimating both spatial and temporal brain
activities?<BR><BR>The workshop will consist in full 3-hours
invited lectures followed by more specific<BR>presentations and one poster
session.<BR><BR>Participants interested in presenting a contributed talk or a
poster are<BR>invited to submit an abstract before the 15th of July
2009.<BR><BR>Participants interested in attending, the registration is now open,
places<BR>are limited<BR><BR>Check our website for more
