will apparently deliver a talk at University College London next week. Here is a gist of my current research work:

We are given a collection of raw images depicting an object such as the brain. We then construct a model which can produce synthetic images as shown below.

We developed a framework that can quantitatively evaluate such models, having constructed them automatically. For more details, see a previous entry on the subject or confer my research pages.

This work has recently been accepted for presentation in IPMI, which will be hosted in Colorado. I currently work on papers for MICCAI (due later tonight) in Palm Springs, California and BMVC in Oxford.

have the pleasure to have been ranked second in the world for my contributions to MATLAB last month. This equates to my position in July 2004, but exceeds the number of monthly downloads, which was just under 2,000 at the time. To celebrate this occasion, I treated myself to a cup of coffee with two three sugar.

As the day which celebrates love returns, one wonders if alterations are made to the way love is perceived. Technology and other advancements have promoted gaps between individuals and resulted in greater seclusion. Will on-line dating services become the stream for couples to bond? Will love be associated with nothing beyond status and greed? What is for certain is that love lives on.
 
Happy Valentine’s, everybody.

MATLAB Central had me ranked 4th (world-wide) for my code contributions this month with over 1,600 downloads. This nearly tops July 2004 when I was ranked 2nd with almost 2,000 downloads. I was then only surpassed by the product manager, Stuart McGarrity.

S⁵ is a token that explains its essence: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System. Alternatively, it can be perceived as a tool which constructs presentations for a modern Web browser to interpret. The author, Eric Meyer, has incorporated yet another improvement. At midday today I will present my work using S⁵:

My beloved grandmother Luna turned 86 87 yesterday. The family and yours sincerely send her the best of wishes.

This afternoon I will get my brain scanned. The 3 Tesla MRI equipment will revolve around my head while I listen to music. There is nothing wrong with my brain, but my colleague and friend uses the data to perform her experiments for the Auto-regulation Grand Challenge. On the right is an image from a previous session, back in July 2004.
