Novel optical technology for cardiac electrophysiology 2020 workshop

基于光学的心脏电生理学新方法（NOTICE）是8月27日和28日在格拉斯哥大学举行的为期两天的免费活动。健康和病理状态下的心脏电生理研究已经被基于光的记录和操作技术所改变。NOTICE汇集了英国、欧盟和北美心脏电生理领域新型光学技术的主要支持者，讨论他们研究解决的主要技术和生物物理问题。本领域的专家将报告当前和不久的将来可能改变心脏电生理的光学技术，以及尖端应用及其产生的数据、分析和建模。在以挑战为主题的三场导论之后，三位主讲人将以小组形式就观众提问进行讨论，探讨未来的研究方向。本次研讨会的目的不仅是研究当前的成功，而且还讨论在这个令人兴奋和不断扩大的领域中正在进行的限制和机会。本次研讨会旨在吸引来自广泛背景和学科的研究人员交流他们独特的观点和角度，以解决光学工具构建和开发中最先进的研究问题，并专门回答心脏电生理学的问题。因此，受邀演讲者的名单来自广泛的专业知识，包括工程，光学，生物物理学和生理学，并包括具体心脏成像专家以及可以想象应用于心脏成像的工具构建者和技术开发人员。与会者将有机会展示海报和/或快速演讲，并参加小组讨论和网络/休息会议。该活动的一个环节将面向博士生和早期职业研究人员，允许他们就当前正在进行的研究问题进行简短的演讲，旨在吸引合作倡议。

Novel optics-based approaches for cardiac electrophysiology (NOTICE) is a two half-day free event running on August 27th and 28th at the University of Glasgow. Research into cardiac electrophysiology under healthy and pathological conditions has been transformed by light-based recording and manipulation technology. NOTICE brings together the leading proponents of novel optical techniques in cardiac electrophysiology in the UK, the European Union and North America to discuss the major technical and biophysical questions their research addresses. Experts in their field will report on current and near-future enabling optical technologies that are likely to be transformative to electrophysiology in the heart as well as cutting-edge applications and their resulting data, analysis and modelling. After three introductory talks of challenge-themed sessions, the three speakers will lead a panel-like discussion on audience questions to discuss future research directions. This workshop aims to examine not just the current successes but also discuss ongoing limitations and opportunities in this exciting and expanding field.This workshop aims to attract researchers from a broad pool of backgrounds and disciplines to exchange their unique takes and angles to tackle state-of-the-art research questions in optical tool building and developed designed to specifically answer questions in cardiac electrophysiology. The list of invited speakers is therefore drawn from a wide pool of expertise, ranging from engineering, optics, biophysics, and physiology and contains experts in concrete cardiac imaging as well as tool builders and developers of techniques which could conceivably be applied to cardiac imaging. For attendees there will be an opportunity to present a poster and or flash talk and participate in panel discussions and networking/break away sessions. One session of the event will be geared towards PhD students and early career researchers allowing them to give a short talk about current ongoing research problems aimed at attracting collaborative initiatives.
