Workshop on Neuroscientifc Image Analysis at the Microscopic Scale (NIAMS'16)

The Workshop on Neuroscientific Image Analysis at the Microscopic
Scale (https://sites.google.com/site/niams2016/) will be held in
conjunction with the MICCAI conference (http://www.miccai2016.org/en/)
on October 17, 2016 in Athens, Greece. Recent advances in labeling and
microscopy techniques have revolutionized our ability to visualize
neurons and synapses in living brain tissue. The quantitative analysis
of vast amounts of imaging data has become a major bottleneck in
neuroscience. This workshop focuses on current challenges in
processing and analysis of microscopic images in neuroscience. We
invite contributions ranging from novel algorithmic strategies in
biomedical image processing to specific examples and solutions to key
problems in neuroscience research, including: automatic detection,
segmentation, tracking, reconstruction, shape analysis, and modeling
of spines, dendrites, and neurons in confocal, two­ photon, super­
resolution, and electron microscopy data. We will accept the
submission of full papers (8­pages, LNCS style), which will be
reviewed by the program committee consisting of the organizers and the
advisory board. The deadline for paper submission is June 24,
2016. The highest quality papers will be selected for (oral and/or
poster) presentation. We plan to publish hard­copy proceedings in
Springer LNCS. In addition, we intend to organize a special issue in
one of the top journals in the field where extended versions of the
selected invited papers of the workshop will be published.
