DESCRIPTION:BigBrain is a 3D 20micron isotropic histological volume of the
  human brain\, developed by the laboratories of Katrin Amunts (Juelich) an
 d Alan C. Evans (Montreal Neurological Institute) (Amunts et al.\, Science
  2013). It is a freely available dataset\, enabling the formation of links
  between macroscale neuroimaging and microscale neuroscience\, and is now 
 used as the reference atlas for the EU's Human Brain Project. In this talk
  I will present work on deep learning applications for automated identific
 ation and analysis of neocortical layers in the BigBrain. I will then brie
 fly discuss other ongoing BigBrain projects including the annotation of hi
 gh-resolution subcortical atlas for neuroanatomical\, neurosurgical and ed
 ucational purposes alongside the latest work increasing the resolution to 
 1micron for neuron-scale analyses. The full dataset and tools for viewing 
 and analysing the data are being brought to Cambridge and all interested i
 n using the dataset for research\, clinical or education purposes are warm
 ly encouraged to attend.\n\nKonrad has recently returned from 10 months wo
 rking on the BigBrain at the Montreal Neurological Institute\, Canada\, wi
 th Professor Alan C. Evans and was awarded a MNI-Cambridge Collaboration G
 rant to support collaborative links between these two institutes.
