Oppstartsseminar.
13. desember 2010 markeres oppstarten på NFR-prosjektet Picturing the Brain: Perspectives on Neuroimaging med et dagseminar der Asta Håberg (NTNU-MI Lab) foreleser om bruk av fMRI i utforskning av hjernen, Tormod Selbekk (SINTEF) foreleser om bruk av nevronavigasjonssystemer i hjernekirurgi og Touradj Ebrahimi (NTNU-Q2S) foreleser om brain computing. Miniseminaret etterfølges av et første møte mellom prosjektetdeltagere og samarbeidspartnere.
Picturing the Brain-prosjektet undersøker nyere metoder for bildedannelse og visualisering av hjernen, med henblikk på de ulike kunnskapsmessige rollene disse metodene spiller, som bilder eller som visuelle redskaper, innen medisin og vitenskap.
Prosjektpartnere er: Centre for Quantifiable Quality of Service in Communication Systems NTNU-Q2S), TEKS – Trondheim elektroniske kunstsenter, Medical Imaging Lab (NTNU-MI Lab), Fremtidens operasjonsrom (St.Olavs hospital) og SINTEF.
Prosjektet er støttet av Norges forskningsråd.

About the project
The interdisciplinary research project Picturing the Brain: Perspectives on Neuroimaging, explores recent methods of neuroimaging and visualization, focusing on the epistemological roles these methods play, as images or as visual tools, in the conduct and communication of medicine and science. The goal is to obtain a deeper understanding of how images contribute to the developing knowledge about the brain by serving as a research tool, as a perceptual prosthesis, or as a powerful rhetorical device. The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway.
