11:35 am ET

Speaker Session 1 – Multi-scale imaging of the connectome

Each speaker will address four questions:

  1. What resolution is required to attain meaningful wiring models?
  2. Which imaging technologies could be driven to scale and most easily disseminated?
  3. Compare and contrast single large-scale efforts to democratize data collection.
  4. How do you encode dynamics in static brain maps (adding the time domain)?
