Description
International Congress Series 1147
This book features the proceedings of the presentations made at the III Pan-Pacific Conference on
Brain Topography (BTOPPS III), 1-4 April 1997 held in the Tokyo Bay Area.
At present, the study of brain topography covers diverse
areas, including EEG, ERP, PET, SPECT, MEG, MRI, MRS, CT and NIR. Faithful to the conference slogan, "Study hard and play hard", researchers
representing different fields of study engaged in extremely animated and productive discussions.
Manuscripts have been contributed
by numerous presenters who took part in special lectures, didactic lectures, symposia, seminars and who created posters. Thanks to their
cooperation, the book covers the latest studies by researchers who are at the forefront of different fields of study. The book has been
organized in such a way that, by reading through it, all the latest information on brain topography is given. One of the objectives of
BTOPPS III was to disseminate knowledge and information on brain topography throughout Asia. Not only will this book certainly meet this
objective, but also contains extremely interesting and worthwhile information from professional standpoints.
Due to the books' nature,
it was difficult to incorporate the "play hard" aspect, one of the conference's important themes, however the fact that so many outstanding
papers were so quickly received, may be proof that each researcher had enjoyed the conference fully to satisfy their hunger for "play".
