Agenda:

  1. Review previous minutes and action items (10 min) - Kolasny

Action Items Summary:

    1. Identify people associated with BIRN-DUP project. (Pieper) done - see Mbirn:BIRNDUP
    2. See if Alex Joyner is still involved with Query Atlas development (Pieper) done - Alex is back 1/2 time at Greg's lab and is working on Query Atlas
    3. Include BIRN hippocampus data as an adendum for the Slicer Tutorial (Pieper,Aucoin)
    4. Contact Vicky Rowley <vrowley@ucsd.edu> about adding MIT software to BIRN/Rocks distribution. (Golland)
    5. Test interoperablility between MIT software and Freesurfer on BIRN/Rocks distribution. (Golland)

      2005.01.17 - I just talked to Bruce Fischl, and we came up with a plan that will get my code integrated and let us use it on imaging data. Basically, the idea is for the MGH and the BWH engineers to come up with a simple interface the allows selection of subjects and transforms the data into the format I can read. We expect to have something running in the spring and to start generating results. I am enthused about it, because this local arrangement makes it easier to do the integration. Maybe then as a second stage, we will see how to integrate it with the HID interface. Hope this makes sense. I know Bruce discussed ti with Bruce Rosen and with Ron Kikinis, and they both supported it.

    6. Contact Christine Fennema <fennema@ucsd.edu> regarding clinical questions for Machine learning(Golland)

      2005.02.02 Integration with mBIRN HID post-poned until Polina and Bruce local work is further along.
