High-Resolution Circuit Reconstruction
September 20 - 23, 2009
A joint meeting between HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus and the Max Planck Society, Germany, this meeting aims to bring together experts in neural circuit reconstruction at the finest and most complete level possible. A previous meeting, in Sep. 2007 at Janelia Farm, was focused on EM preparation and imaging technology. The 2009 meeting in Berlin will include work in progress in this area but will be more focused on efforts to turn 3D EM or other super-resolution data into neuronal connectivity diagrams. Progress in the development of semi-automated labeling and tracing will be covered as well as attempts to automate completely the analysis using techniques from image processing, computer vision, and machine learning. Also covered will be examples of neural circuits where knowledge of most connections is likely to be essential to understand the neural computation performed.
