Cerebral Autoregulation SIGThe SIG on Cerebral Autoregulation will act to promote research into and education in cerebral autoregulation within ISCBFM, in collaboration with the Cerebral Autoregulation Research Network (CARNet). CARNet (www.car-net.org) is an international group of over 140 researchers that was founded in 2011 at its inaugural meeting in London. It has subsequently held an annual meeting each year, with the 8th meeting scheduled to take place in Oxford in June 2018 (the 7th meeting was held in conjunction with the Brain 17 meeting in Berlin). A number of collaborative research projects have also taken place with consensus papers being published and analysis tools and other resources being made freely available through the website. The SIG will build on this work, integrating this community fully into ISCBFM and thus promoting cerebral autoregulation more widely with the broader community.
Mission:
The mission of the SIG on Cerebral Autoregulation is to promote research and education in all aspects of cerebral autoregulation, by encouraging collaboration between physiologists, physicists, engineers and clinicians, in order to advance both our fundamental understanding of cerebral autoregulation and to develop new clinical applications across a wide range of cerebrovascular disease. Cerebral Autoregulation SIG Chair: Stephen Payne [email protected] Planned Activities: The SIG will be involved in the following meetings that are already confirmed or planned:
The SIG will also help to co-ordinate other activities that are currently run through CARNet, including:
We would also plan to help to launch the SIG by proposing a special issue of JCBFM on Cerebral Autoregulation (Editorial Board member Jurgen Claassen has indicated his strong enthusiasm to be involved with the SIG in this and other ways).
