We are pleased to announce an international workshop on BigBrain and its applications, to be held at the Montreal Neurological Institute on November 3rd, 2017. The day will start with a plenary session, with a keynote lecture by Pr. Karl Zilles (Germany). Morning addresses will be followed by an open forum discussion on the challenges and future directions of the BigBrain data and their applications. The afternoon will be dedicated to short presentations from selected projects covering the topics listed below, and will end with poster presentations.
The BigBrain is a 3D model of a human brain, reconstructed from serial sections that were scanned at very high resolution (Amunts et al., Science 2013). Researchers from McGill University (Montreal) and the Research Centre in Jülich (Germany) developed a 3D model of the human brain at very high resolution – the BigBrain. The model is available as a free tool (https://bigbrain.loris.ca) and offers unequalled neuroanatomical insight as well as the possibility to verify hypotheses, and develop solutions for big data management, visualisation and analytics.
