DBS Meeting 2014

The purpose of the Slicer DBS meeting at MICCAI is to exchange on the functionalities of the pyDBS workflow using 3D Slicer. pyDBS is developed by the teams of the Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle Epiniere, Hopital Pitie Salpetriere, the Universite de Rennes, the Universite Strasbourg and the INRIA.

New functionalities are being developed in pyDBS through a French-USA collaboration between Sonia Pujol (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School), Eric Bardinet (Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle Epiniere, Hopital Pitie Salpetriere) and Pierre Jannin (Universite de Rennes).
