International Conference on Functional Mapping of the Human Brain

这笔赠款将用于支持人脑图谱组织(OHBM)的年度会议。特别是，OHBM强调对人脑功能组织的非侵入性、基于图像的研究。对于国际会场，资金将用于支付受邀的美国演讲者的费用。这些会议与人脑项目相关，因为演讲涉及人脑的功能和结构，科学项目的六分之一致力于图像获取的最新方法，整个教育项目专门致力于研究大脑的方法，重点是图像分析和神经信息学的其他方面。这项研究的部分资金来自国家科学基金会，它通过参与人脑项目获得部分资金，这是一个联邦跨机构研究计划，由国会授权作为“大脑十年”的一部分。

This grant will be used to support the annual meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM). The mission of the OHBM is to promote the field of structural and functional brain mapping. In particular, OHBM emphasizes non-invasive, image-based investigation of the functional organization of the human brain. The principal activity of the OHBM is to organize an annual, international meeting. For meetings inside the US, funding will be used for 100 student stipends. For international venues, funding will be used to pay the cost of invited US speakers.The meetings are relevant to the Human Brain Project in that the presentations relate to the function and structure of the human brain, one-sixth of the scientific program is devoted to the latest methods for image acquisition, and the entire educational program is devoted exclusively to the methods used to study the brain, with a strong emphasis of image analysis and other aspects of nueroinformatics.This research is funded in part by the National Science Foundation through its participation in the Human Brain Project, which is a Federal interagency research initiative, mandated by Congress as part of the "Decade of the Brain".
