Title: Using Image Analysis to Unravel Mysteries of the Brain The talk will focus on recent advances in image analysis that impact the study of the brain. Connections between the immune system and the brain made by way of image analysis will be highlighted. The talk will focus on segmentation of neurons, glia and meningeal lymphatics and bacteria. A graph theoretic model that incorporates elasticity via a shape manifold will be introduced. A post-processing method for machine learning-based segmentation of cells will be described. More recent applications, including a transformer model for image enhancement in the presence of signal-dependent noise and a planning method for transcranial focused ultrasound, will be presented.

[]IEEE Senior Member is the highest IEEE member grade for which IEEE members can apply and does not incur any additional cost or fees. The Senior Member grade is a way for the IEEE members to receive recognition for their professional experience and significant performance in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and the related fields including Computer Science and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, Law, and Policy. The advancement to Senior Member provides the IEEE members with significant and distinct benefits. These benefits include the eligibility to hold Executive IEEE Volunteer Positions and getting recognition of your peers for technical and professional excellence. Newly elevated senior members will also receive an engraved senior member plaque from IEEE. Senior Member Elevation: IEEE SEM Section Membership Committee will reprise its Senior Member Elevation event, on June 7th, 2025 between 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM (HYBRID - In Person and online). Afterwards - we will go have lunch . The way it works is: At least a 10 years of significant experience with BS degree needs be be established to initiate the senior membership elevation. (A Ph.D is considered to be 5 years of significant experience and a master degree is considered to be 2 years of significant experience. The remaining 5 (with PhD) to 8 (with MS degree) years of significant experience should be established from the member experience in his/her profession to initiate and submit applications for Senior Member Elevation.) Note: There is no cost to becoming a Senior Member, and this step is a necessary prelude to seeking the IEEE ‘Fellow’ level. For a complete description of the Senior Member process and its benefits, see the link at: https://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/grade_elevation.html To (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461460)for "Elevation" Time Slot, please(https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/461460)for the event and consider contacting existing senior members/fellows as references; also bring an electronic copy of your resume, and relevant supporting materials (list of papers published, standards work done, patents, senior/leadership positions, etc.).
