CMCI seminar, FRAP lecture, Google Calender

Notes on CMCI seminar held last Friday is now available.

I would say::

- The award for the "Best Preparation" goes to Felipe. I think he made special measurements for his talk, with different parameters for the anisotropic diffusion filtering to clearly explain its power.

- Jerome's tracking program could be further extended with Graph-theory approach (cost & flow) such as the one by Danuser group to make it even more robust.

- I was very much attacted to Python scripting, which Peter presented.

- Julien showed simple but in-depth analysis using Kyomograph + Modelling. I guess his brain is filled with springs stretching and contracting.

- Francesco's talk was very informative, well explained principles on fluctuation analysis. I happend to know Michael (the guy who coded the 3D tracking program in IgorPro) in karate dojo, so I told him "Ok, you don't only do punching and kicking".

- Chaitanya told us about his challenges towards quantifying MT asters: measurement of radial shape could be probably connected to Thomas's presentation on Shape evaluation for angiogenesis.

- Thomas showed the real power of image processing: very sophisticated approach for measuring and extracting parameters out of the branching complex shape of vessels.

My talk? Don't forget "Dogs are dogs, cats are cats, and the Golgi is the Golgi"!

I made a lecture this morning, more details and basics on FRAP for the internal course organized by ALMF team. The talk was recorded by Luis, so people who wants to see it can watch it.

I made a public Google calender so those of you who are interested, please include "CMCI@EMBL" calender in yours.
