We are pleased to announce the
6th BigBrain Workshop: From microstructure to functional connectomics
as an in-person event taking place on October 25-27, 2022 in Zadar, Croatia
With this workshop we reach out to the international community of BigBrain users and invite researchers from our global network (and beyond) to present their work and to discuss future prospects of the BigBrain data and tools, in particular exchange views on how to better leverage high performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) to create multimodal, multiresolution tools for the high-resolution BigBrain and related datasets. We are proud to announce Profs MuMing Poo and Ivica Kostović as our keynote speakers.
