Future of Neuroscience Conference: Frontiers in Neuroimaging: Coming to a Scanner Near You!

Friday, April 16, 2010
9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

This interactive day-long program focuses on the fascinating field of neuroimaging. The program will feature poster sessions, platform presentations, a series of case vignettes, a panel discussion, and several invited lecturers discussing new developments in the field. The presenters will combine high-level science with practical clinical application. Registration is required to attend the conference, in addition to the Annual Meeting registration fee.
