Tromsø Conference on Imaging in Neuroscience

It is applied for a conference on imaging in neuroscience research in Tromsø 26-27/4 2007. The aim of the conference is to establish contacts between researchers, firstly at a national, but also at an international level. The conference will target areas that are relevant for ongoing research in Norway. The intention is to strengthen the neuroscience milieus working in Tromsø and at the other universities and hospitals, and to introduce imaging methods in research that at present is not using these method s. The conference will target four themes: EEG/ERP, fMRI, PET, and cellular and molecular imaging.
