 ce and Software Engineering\, Concordia University\, Canada\n\n\nAbstract:
  In image-guided surgery (IGS)\, surgical instruments are tracked and visu
 alized with respect to patient-specific data sets. IGS has driven the fiel
 d of minimally invasive surgery\, which has advantages such as smaller inc
 isions\, faster recovery times and better patient outcomes with lower morb
 idity and mortality rates. With the move to less invasive surgery\, howeve
 r\, came the need for novel visualization techniques to overcome the lack 
 of a direct view of the patient anatomy and the surgeons limited field of 
 view. With augmented reality\, sound guidance and specific interaction tec
 hniques we can create a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of p
 atient-specific anatomical information. Providing surgeons with this infor
 mation in an intuitive and easy to understand way has the potential to imp
 rove surgical workflows\, reduce surgical time and increase surgical preci
 sion. This talk will introduce some of the research being done in the Appl
 ied Perception Lab at Concordia University\, with a focus on the developme
 nt and testing of novel augmented reality visualization\, interaction and 
 guidance techniques and their application for specific neurosurgical tasks
 .\n\nBio: Marta Kersten-Oertel is an Associate Professor at the Gina Cody 
 School of Computer Science and Software Engineering\, Concordia University
 \, the Concordia University Research Chair in Applied Perception and Scien
 tific Director of the Biomedical Health and Engineering Hub at Concordia's
  new School of Health. Her research is focused on developing and evaluatin
 g new visualization\, display and interaction techniques in clinical conte
 xts with a focus on image-guided surgery. In particular she is interested 
 in improving the understanding of rendered medical data and studying the i
 mpact of augmented reality visualization and novel visualization and inter
 action techniques for specific clinical tasks. She received a BSc degree i
 n Computer Science and a BA degree in Art History from Queen’s University 
 (Kingston) in 2002. In 2005 she completed a MSc in Computer Science at Que
 en’s University and in 2015 her PhD in Biomedical Engineering at 91µ¼º½ÊÓƵ Un
 iversity (Montreal). She has also worked as a research assistant at the Un
 iversity of Ottawa and the University of Tuebingen (Germany).\n\n\nThe Fei
 ndel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision o
 f Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–198
 4)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will
  highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cognit
 ive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists f
 rom across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and
  from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum 
 for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchan
 ges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive dis
 orders.\n
