Connectomic medicine, and the difference between technology and products

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 

Enormous sums of tax payer dollars have been aimed at neuroimaging based research with the hope of providing new treatments and related insights. Despite the efforts of ten of thousands over 3 decades, until the past few years, using fMRI clinically required having one of those people do it for you, which is not scalable or useful. In this talk, I will outline our efforts over the past 7 years to bring a connectomic medical device in the market and to train people how to use it. In this,we will talk about product creation, insights into what the field needs to do, and the direction we see this heading in the next few years.
