The 2008 zebrafish meeting (June 25-29, Madison) will introduce workshops on specialized topics proposed by the community. These will be organized in two sessions, each with up to 5 workshops running concurrently. Workshops will last two hours, and might consist of 3 or 4 short (e.g. 15 min) talks, with extensive time for discussion.

To propose a topic, email zfmeeting@gmail.com (include name and affiliation). We will invite you to be a blog author and describe your proposal in a new post. If you want to comment on a topic, or propose a change, simply comment on the relevant post. Be warned: you may end up organizing the workshop!

We will accept new topics through 25 Jan 2008. The blog will remain open for comments through 1 Feb 2008, when the meeting organizers will choose a final list of workshop topics.

High throughput methods for behavioral video analysis

Automatic behavior studies offers new possibilities for phenotype characterization and pharmacology studies.

Audience : Researchers working on zebrafish and willing to analyze behavior by mean of imaging techniques.

This workshop will show a state of the art based on the past 4 years behavioral studies, focusing on Movement characterization (Locomotor activity), Behavioral stereotypes (C shape, S shape) and other Behavioral tests (Mirror test, T maze,Place preference test).

We will then discuss on new challenges for those methods. Especially focusing on High throughput applications : Larvae behavior analysis, Adult schooling analysis, Chronobiology and circadian rhythms, Group screening ...
