Vista Project (http://www.irisa.fr/vista) of CNRS/INRIA research center in
Rennes, France (http://www.irisa.fr) opens a one year CNRS postdoctoral position,
starting end of 2002 or beginning of 2003. This position is open to computer
scientists with background on data base, informatics, web-based processing,
data warehouse, mediator/wrappers, 3D medical imaging and neuroimaging. The
position is specifically open to non-french resident, English or French will be
the working language.
Based on a French national grant from the
French ministry of Research, Neurobase (www.irisa.fr/vista/neurobase) is a cooperative project which aims to establish the
conditions allowing, through Internet the federation of distributed information
data bases in neuroimaging, information being located in various centers of
experimentation, clinical departments in neurology or research centers in
cognitive neurosciences. The Neurobase project consist in specifying how to
connect and access distributed information data bases in neuroimaging by the
definition of a data-processing architecture allowing the access and the
sharing of experimentation results or even data processing methods within a
same site or between different sites. This would allow for example, within
these information data bases, the search for similar results, the search for
images containing singularities or transverse searches to highlight possible
regularities (similarly to a "data mining" type approach).
The goal of this position is to elaborate a
demonstrator based on some existing modules (Le Select, BrainVISA/Anatomist , VIsTAL,
…) and functionalities such as data wrappers & mediators, medical image
processing methods (data access, registration, segmentation, visualization, …)
and data flow approaches. This demonstrator will be developed and tested in the
context of two major applications:
-
Clinical application dealing with epilepsy
surgery
-
Cognitive application dealing with the
delineation of the visual cortex areas
Secondary applications could also be addressed such as
brain degenerative diseases in neurology.
This work will be carried out in collaboration
with the Neurobase team partners (see below).
