Abstract: The third (sic) annual meeting of International Brain Mapping & Intra-operative Surgical Planning Society (IBMISPS) was held at UCLA-California Nano-System Institute (CNSI). IBMISPS is a non-profit society organized for the purpose of encouraging basic and clinical scientists who are interested in areas of Brain Mapping and Intraoperative Surgical planning to improve the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients afflicted with neurological disorders. Currently, there is no combined conference on both subjects. This meeting intends to build a bridge between the two fields. The meeting has been organized by the board of directors and who will form the organizing committees: Search, Medical Education Committee, Program and Finance in collaboration with the local organizing committee who are listed on the program. The event did have significant clinical and basic science components. Thus, it was a multidisciplinary venue to explore and clarify a defined subject, problem, or area of knowledge related to BM and ISP with leaders in the field. The 6th annual meeting of IBMISPS is set for Aug 26-29, 2009 at Harvard Medical school's Joseph Martin Conference center. IBMISPS is also intended for the purpose of promoting the public welfare through the advancement of Intraoperative Surgical Planning and Brain Mapping, by a commitment to excellence in education, and by dedication to research and scientific discovery. This society promotes the public welfare and improves patient care through the translation of new technologies into life saving diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The society is committed to excellence in education, and scientific discovery. The society achieves its mission through multi-disciplinary collaborations with government agencies, patient advocacy groups, educational institutes and private sector (industry) as well as philanthropic organization. All talks will be available for podcasting on line and special issue will be published by Elsevier.
