Artery 12
18th – 20th October 2012 Vienna, Austria
Artery 12 is aiming to provide a forum for scientific exchange between bioengineers, basic medical scientists, and clinicians interested in clinical research. An expanded list of topics will be covered through keynote lectures and abstract presentations, with lively debates being a fundamental part of the meeting.
A considerable amount of the programme is dedicated to young investigators, with prestigious prizes for the best oral Awards for more established researchers.presentation by a young investigator, for the best posters, and highly prized Career Development.

MICCAI 2012, the 15th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention
MICCAI 2012, the 15th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, will be held from October 1st to October 5th 2012 in Nice, France.
MICCAI attracts annually world leading scientists, engineers and clinicians from a wide range of disciplines associated with medical imaging and computer assisted surgery.
The venue for MICCAI 2012 is the Acropolis Convention Centre. It is located just 15 minutes from the airport, in the heart of the largest city of the French Riviera.
Topics
Topics to be addressed in MICCAI 2012 include, but are not limited to:
General Medical Image Computing
Computer Assisted Interventional Systems and Robotics
Visualisation and Interaction
General Biological and Neuroscience Image Computing
Computational Anatomy (statistics on anatomy)
Computational Physiology (virtual organs)
Innovative Clinical / Biological Applications and Surgical Procedures
18th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping
The 18th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping will be held June 10-14, 2012 in Beijing, China at the China National Convention Center (CNCC).
OHBM draws attendance between 2500-3000 attendees each year. Membership in the organization is growing and the meeting continues to be one of the most significant neuroimaging conferences for those in the field. The OHBM meeting boasts a combination of exciting scientific programs and social events, all tailored to the city the meeting is being held.
The Annual Meeting will have an extensive program of local and international speakers, covering a wide range of topics and issues, specifically addressing the field of human functional neuroimaging and its movement into the scientific mainstream. The focus will be to gather scientists and medical professionals using modern, functional, brain mapping techniques such as PET, SPECT, fMRI, EEG, MEG, optical imaging and neuroanatomical tools for assessment of the functioning of the human brain. It will include the applications of these techniques to study brain implementation of sensory and motor systems, vision, attention, memory and language in normal and pathological states.
Probing the Interior 1800-2012
Conference to take place:
Friday 25 May 2012
The Courtauld Institute of Art and King's College London
Bodily, psychic and spatial interiors can be mapped, traversed and violated in multiple ways. This one-day conference will interrogate and re-evaluate the contested terrain of the interior in its varied forms. It will examine the interlacing and overlapping of different types of interiors, and seek to re-position the ‘interior’ in critical terms. Moreover, it will attempt to develop new ways of thinking about the relationship between the decorative arts, furniture, bio-technologies, anatomy and space. The conference will take place in The Courtauld Institute of Art Research Forum and conclude with a keynote address in the Anatomy Theatre at King’s College London.
The conference will be built around three themes: Threshold, Incision and Autopsy.
This conference welcomes papers from across a wide range of periods and regions. Issues addressed might include, but are not limited to:
• Modes of mapping space
• Figurative and literal gateways/boundaries
• Temporality and space
• Space and subjectivity
• Domestic interiors
• Decorative arts and the body
• The fabrication of furniture
• Anatomical drawing
• Different types of medical imaging
• Medical portraiture
Organised by Dr Lucetta Johnson (The Courtauld Institute of Art) and Dr Keren Hammerschlag (King’s College London)
This event is supported by The Courtauld Institute of Art Research Forum and the Centre for the Humanities and Health, King’s College London
8th International Conference on Voice Physiology and Biomechanics
July 3-4, 2012 Erlangen – Germany
The conference will be held at the Hotel Novotel Erlangen and it is hosted by the DFG Research Unit FOR894. It will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of current scientific research on the larynx and voice. The emphasis of this conference will be on basic and applied research rather than clinical treatment studies.
We encourage investigators working in the following areas/ themes to attend the conference:
Topics for Contributions to the ICVPB Conference are:
Acoustics
Aerodynamics
Anatomy
Bio-acoustics
Biomechanics
Laryngeal pathologies
Modeling
Molecular & Cellular Biology
Neurophysiology
Physics
Physiology
Tissue Engineering
In this conference, we especially encourage studies related to the "Voice Source Analysis" as indicated by the subtitle of the conference to promote a wide spectrum research on phonation-related transglottal airflow and vocal fold vibration.
General Chairmen:
Professor Ulrich Eysholdt - University Hospital Erlangen
Professor Michael Döllinger - University Hospital Erlangen
