About the Symposium
About the Symposium
This symposium highlights advances in neuroimaging technologies and methods for applying machine learning approaches to increasingly large-scale data sets that have the potential to transform healthcare by providing non-invasive, reliable indicators of brain health, resilience and vulnerability long before clinical manifestations of disease.
This free event is sponsored by the McCance Center, the Martinos Center and Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology.
