A 3D methodological approach to the study of intra-cortical vessel networks.
The organization of the cerebral micro-vascular network is an important
issue in various biological fields, considering clinical as well as
fundamental questions, such as normal and pathological vascularization,
functional brain imaging interpretation, stroke consequences, therapeutic
strategies or hemodynamic modelling. Investigations aiming at describing
postnatal angiogenesis, defining malignancy criteria in tumours or analysing
the effects of therapies need relevant structural parameters of the network
angiogenesis. However they have to face the complexity of the networks.
Classical methods have been used to describe vasculature and recent
promising techniques provide in vivo functional data. These powerful methods
present however some restrictions : small field of view, exploration of
cortical depth limited to a few hundreds of micrometres, information limited
to qualitative description. We present an alternative method developed to
image volumes as large as several tens of cube millimetres of cortical
tissue with a micro-metric resolution, by using x-ray micro-tomography. We
discuss the interest of the qualitative and quantitative data obtained,
focusing on the comparisons between vessel networks in newborn and adult
monkey cortex, and between normal and tumor brain tissue. This work results
from a tight collaboration between several disciplines (biology, dynamics of
fluids, physics, image analysis and statistics) and has been partly
published.

of its Departmental Colloquium series)
by
Andres Moles (Central European University)
on
Dworkin, Integrity and Hate Speakers
Tuesday, 25 November, 5.30 PM, Zrinyi 14, Room 412
ABSTRACT
In this paper I analyze three different arguments that Ronald Dworkin
has produced to defend the claim that restrictions on hate speech are
unjust. The focus of the paper is on the interests that citizens have
qua speakers in being allowed to express racist or sexist views, in this
respect the paper claims that Dworkin’s arguments do not show that
such interests are sufficient for protection. Drawing from some research
on social psychology I claim that hate speech is harmful in a
justice-relevant manner. If I am correct, then given Dworkin's ideas
about integrity and equality of resources, he cannot claim that
restricting hate speech fails to treat speakers with less respect and
concern.

Kedves Kollégák,
Mindenkit sok szerettel várunk 2008. december 4-én 17.00-kor a következő
előadásra:

Institute of Psychological Sciences, University of Leeds, England
***Studying Memory With SenseCam: The Future of Memory Research***
*December 4., csütörtök - 17:00. BME, XI., Stoczek u. 2., St. ép., 320.-as
terem.*
*Thursday, December 4th, 17:00. BME, Budapest, Stoczek u. 2, St. Building,
room 320. *
*Abstract: *
I describe the use of a new camera from Microsoft, Cambridge Research
Laboratories, not yet commercially available, called 'SenseCam'. SenseCam
(SC) is worn around the neck and automatically takes colour photographs in
response to sensory changes it detects. Wearing SC for, say, 2 hours
produces approximately 150 to 200 photographs that can be viewed, days,
weeks, months, or years later, typically at a rate of one picture per
second. Thus, a two-hour event can be viewed in just a few minutes. The
effects of SC photographs on memory are quite remarkable and induce what I
term "Proustian moments" of amazingly detailed and vivid recollection of
events that cannot otherwise be remembered or only poorly remembered. In
this paper I describe a neuroimaging study of SC and current work with
several amnesic patients. And, if I remember......., I will wear an SC for
the presentation.
