Two websites links below have been designed to improve searching of the abstracts being presented at the Human Brain Mapping 2008 Conference. The sites use text and semantic matching algorithms to find and cluster related abstracts.
Over 1400 posters will be presented at the 14th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping. The abstracts are available on the website at www.meetingassistant2.com/OHBM2008.
If you do not already have a login, you may create one by clicking "New Account". Once you have logged in, you will be able to browse all abstracts within a category or sub-category or search for an abstract by title, abstract text, author, category, or sub-category. You may also use the quick find feature to find a specific poster number.
You can create a personal itinerary that you can bring with you to the meeting by clicking the check box to the left of the poster number and clicking the assign selection button at the bottom of the page.
HBM 2008 Abstract CD Now Available
You may also access the abstracts that have been submitted for poster presentation by viewing the abstract cd. The CD will be included as a supplement to the onsite program at the meeting.

INVITATION
We are pleased to invite you to attend the 14th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping in Melbourne, Australia.
Melbourne prides itself on being a great city. It’s hardly surprising, with its spectacular combination of old and new architecture, elegant streetscapes, ethnic communities and lavish parks and gardens. Add Australia’s best eating, an excellent transit system and a packed events calendar boasting sporting spectaculars and exuberant events, and you have all the ingredients for one of the most enlightened and liveable cities in the world.
HBM was first held in 1995 and normally attracts between
1500–2000 attendees. Membership of the Organization
for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM),
www.humanbrainmapping.org,
is growing and the 2003 meeting in New York
attracted 2,500 and
the 2006 meeting in Florence attracted 2,700 attendees. The meeting
is the most significant neuroimaging conference for those
in the field and with its tradition
of alternating meetings between North America and Europe,
the selection of Melbourne,
Australia for the first OHBM Conference to be held in Australasia
is indeed exciting and a
great opportunity for our region.
The Melbourne Organizing Committee comprises The Howard Florey Institute of Experimental Physiology and Medicine, Brain Sciences Institute, Swinburne University and Mental Health Research Institute as joint hosts.
We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne, Australia in 2008.
