Felipe Silva, Biomedical Engineering student, member of the Medical Images Analysis Group, and currently working on his thesis, had an outstanding participation at the XIV IEEE Latin American Summer School in Computational Intelligence (EVIC 2018), which took place on December 12th, 13th, and 14th, 2018, in Santiago, Chile.

Felipe presented his paper titled “Cortical Mesh Parcellation based on Graph Representation of Short Fiber Connections”, which obtained the First Place in the paper contest.

 

The work proposes a new method for performing a parcellation of the brain cortex surface, based on brain fiber fascicles, segmented via a fiber atlas. The method uses a representation of the parcels and their overlap via graphs, and it performs processing to find the most stable parcels in a subject.
