SPEAKER SESSIONS
Each speaker will address three questions:
- What are the prospects and challenges you see in scaling your approach (and/or analysis goals in general) to volumes comprising hundreds of petavoxels of imaging data?
- What kinds of general improvements in technical infrastructure (hardware and/or software) would mostly dramatically aid in scaling your analysis?
- What new frontiers of analysis (especially as may be enabled by, or complementary to, a whole mammalian connectome) are you most excited by? What challenges do you see in pursuing those frontiers?
