20th Kuopio Bio-MRI Workshop

MRI Techniques for Bridging Structural, Functional, and Causal Brain Networks 

University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio

December 9-11, Tietoteknia auditorium

Endorsed by Finnish and European imaging infrastructures: EuroBioImaging and Finnish BioImaging 

Event Description 

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) continues to expand our ability to map the brain’s wiring, dynamics, and causal interactions. 

20th Kuopio Bio-MRI Workshop, with the theme of “MRI Techniques for Bridging Structural, Functional, and Causal Brain Networks”, focuses on how the brain’s wiring, activity, and interactions come together. We are bringing top experts from around the world to follow the full arc from structure to function to causality, featuring the latest advances in tractography and functional imaging methods. 

The workshop consists of scientific sessions featuring invited international speakers together with talks selected from submitted abstracts.
