Talk Title: How to stay on track: The need for anatomical knowledge in diffusion tractography

About the talk: In this talk I will highlight the present limitations of diffusion-based tractography and the need for anatomical knowledge and anatomical priors to improve tractography reliability. I will present some of the tractography optimisation and validation work I did during my PhD on the auditory system, and the tractography validation and application work I am now working on in my Post Doc.

The workshop is open to all. Research assistants, graduate students and postdocs are encouraged to attend. Workshops will involve a short presentation of work (15-25 minutes) with an extended discussion at the end. The presentations will be live-streamed and recorded in collaboration with the OnNeuro platform, check it out here!

Join us in LZ 120* for some snacks and science on January 17th, 1-2pm! [*Note: this is a different room!]
