>Functional neuroimaging is the application of instruments to view the

>Looking at the Mind_ will provide a forum for considering whether the

>Topics include:

>___Instrumentation for Functional Neuroimaging___
>What limits do the tools available to us impose, both on a technological
>level and in terms of our filtered perceptions?

>___The Brain in Health and Disease___ 
>Mapping brain disease based on functional abnormalities through
>functional neuroimaging
>
>___Human Sensation and Motor Control___
>Characterizing the response of the brain to sensation, and tracing the
>activity backwards to look at the physiological states which presage our
>movements and our speech.
>
>___Imaging of Cognitive Function___
>We can now begin to explore the physiological correlates of sophisticated
>behaviors, from music and math to the background processes which give
>answers seemingly from nowhere.  Do we handle the components of a complex
>task in serial, or parallel?

>The attendance fee of $200 includes all meals, a reception, and a tour of
