ABSTRACT:
The advance of modern neuroimaging technology is intertwined with the
development of image processing methods, leading to an enormous increase of
knowledge in neurobiology. Digital brain atlases play a huge role in this
context: they serve as a reference framework for communicating knowledge
and help relating brain structures to functions. However, current atlases
are constructed from a small number of subjects, and do not adequately
represent the individual formation of a human brain. We will present a
data-driven approach to analyze macro- structural properties of the human
brain that will provide a symbolic description of an individual brain.
Focus is given on the description of image processing and machine learning
methods, and on the current challenges of dealing with big data in
neuroscience.

Biosketch:
Frithjof Kruggel joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UC
Irvine as a Professor in 2005. His research focuses on developing Computer
Vision algorithms to extract meaningful, quantitative information from
neuroimaging data to understand the relation between structure and function
of the human brain, and to support clinical diagnosis and therapeutic
decisions. Frithjof received his M.S. in Chemistry from Ruhr-University,
Bochum (Germany) in 1983, and his M.D. and Ph.D. from Ludwig Maximilian
University, Munich (Germany) in 1989. Following his training in Clinical
Neurology, he assisted in building up the Max-Planck-Institute of Cognitive
Neuroscience, where he headed the Workgroup on Signal and Image Analysis
from 1995-2004. From 2002-2004, he served as a Professor for Image Analysis
and Computer Graphics in the Department of Computer Science at the
University of Leipzig (Germany).
