About us
The thalamic nuclei group started as informal weekly zoom meetings between Giulio Pergola (Bari), Shail Segobin (Caen), and Manoj Saranathan (Tucson) to discuss the relative merits of different thalamic segmentation methods. It was then expanded to include a larger group of people, broadly interested in thalamic nuclei. This e-symposium is a starting point, we hope, for more sustained collaborations within the group and across other groups.

Vision
Besides fostering collaborations, our vision is for 3 or 4 subgroups focused on neuro-anatomy, imaging, image processing, and applications to evolve organically out of this symposium and subsequent meetings.
We also hope to put out position papers, share standardized data sets with manual labels, and disseminate new cutting edge methods for thalamic segmentation, and meet in person, of course, in the near future !
