It was remarkable to hear about the advancements and contentious issues of brain imaging from many of the people responsible for developing the techniques and analytical approaches first-hand. (Did I miss anyone?) For a first-timer – and someone relatively new to the world of neuroimaging – it was a whirlwind opportunity to try to absorb as much wisdom as possible about how best to peer through the frosted looking glass and make the most of what we see. ![]() ![]() Human Brain Mapping in Quebec City was an excellent, if not slightly overwhelming, conference which brought together the often discrepant worlds of neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, physics, engineering, mathematics, and computer science.
