International Brain Mapping
Abstract
The third annual meeting International Brain Mapping & Intra-operative Surgical Planning Society (IBMISPS) was held in Clermont Ferrand, France (Sep 5-8, 2006). The Society is organized for the purpose of encouraging leading basic and clinical scientists who are interested in or active in areas of Brain Mapping (BM) and Intra-operative Surgical Planning (ISP) to share their findings with other physicians and scientists across disciplines. Currently there is no combined conference on both subjects. This meeting intends to build a bridge between the two fields. The meeting has be organized by the board of directors and will form the organizing committees: Search, Medical Education, Program and Finance. The event did have significant clinical and basic science components. Thus it was a multidisciplinary venue to explore and clarify a defined subject, problem, or area of knowledge related to IBM and ISP with leaders in the field. The 4th annual meeting of IBMISPS is set for Sep. 6-8, 2007 in Washington DC. IBMISPS is also intended for the purpose of promoting public welfare through the advancement of Intra-operative Surgical Planning and Brain Mapping, by a commitment to excellence in education, and by dedication to research and scientific discovery. The mission of the association will be achieved through multi-disciplinary collaboration of government agencies, patient advocacy groups, educational institutes and private sector (industry) brought together to address issues and problems related to BM and ISP and implement new technologies. We had specific scientific sessions on ranging from Image Guided Surgery, OR and the Hospital of the future to nanomedicine and stem cell imaging. All talks and abstracts that are presented at the meeting will be published on line and selected ones will be published in IBMISPS-NeuroImage.
