Pattern recognition techniques have become an important tool for neuroimaging data analysis. These techniques are helping to elucidate normal and abnormal brain function, cognition and perception, anatomical and functional brain architecture, biomarkers for diagnosis and personalized medicine, and as a scientific tool to decipher neural mechanisms underlying human cognition. The International Workshop on Pattern Recognition in Neuroimaging (PRNI) aims to: (1) foster dialogue between developers and users of cutting-edge analysis techniques in order to find matches between analysis techniques and neuroscientific questions; (2) showcase recent methodological advances in pattern recognition algorithms for neuroimaging analysis; and (3) identify challenging neuroscientific questions in need of new analysis approaches.
PRNI welcomes submissions on topics including, but not limited to:
* Learning from neuroimaging data
- Algorithms for brain-state decoding or encoding
- Optimization and regularization
- Bayesian analysis of neuroimaging data
- Causal inference and time delay techniques
- Network and connectivity models (the connectome)
- Dynamic and time-varying models
- Dynamical systems and simulations
- Empirical mode decomposition, multiscale decompositions
- Combination of different data modalities
- Efficient algorithms for large-scale data analysis
* Interpretability of models and results
- High-dimensional data visualization
- Multivariate and multiple hypothesis testing
- Summarization and presentation of inference results
* Applications
- Disease diagnosis and prognosis
- Real-time decoding of brain states
- Analysis of resting-state and task-based data
- MEG, EEG, structural MRI, fMRI, diffusion MRI, ECoG, NIRS
Authors should prepare full papers with a maximum length of 4 pages (two column IEEE style) for double-blind review. The manuscript submission deadline is 18 March 2016. Accepted manuscripts will be assigned either to an oral or poster sessions; all accepted manuscripts will be included in the workshop proceedings.
