Nerve cell software keeps track of brain change - Brain research will get a boost tomorrow (14 October) as CSIRO launches in
the United States its HCA-Vision nerve cell analysis software at
Neuroscience 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia, the world's largest conference for
brain researchers.
HCA-Vision is based on a proprietary mathematical method, patented by
Australia’s CSIRO, for automatically tracing and measuring lines in
complex images.

Virtual swimmer to speed up our athletes - CSIRO
and the Australian Institute of Sport are using mathematics in a bid to
speed up our top swimmers by testing changes to swimming strokes.
The research will make use of the same software CSIRO uses for other
fluid simulations such as animating water for movies and modelling
volcanoes and tsunamis. Researchers are hoping to see some practical
results in time to implement improvements for the London Olympics in 2012. Image
15 February 2006 -
Summer scientists have a Big Day In - Instead
of tidying racks at a department store or pulling beers at the pub this
summer, 74 university students are taking the chance to find out what it’s
like to be a scientist - and getting paid for it.
1 February 2006 -
Brain researchers get a head start - CSIRO
software released today will help Australian neuroscience researchers
discover new treatments for people with neurodegenerative diseases.
The software, HCA-Vision, was unveiled at the 26th Australian Neuroscience
Society conference being held in Sydney this week. It runs on a standard
PC and will help researchers track changes in the appearance of neurons, a
type of nerve cell. Images
26 September 2005 - CSIRO statisticians confirm: It’s been 75
years! - This week CSIRO celebrates 75 years since its first foray into
statistics - a branch of mathematics that revolutionised agricultural
science and promises new insights to biotechnology.

China and Australia Forge the TIES That Bind -
China and Australia are forging new scientific links at an environmental
statistics conference organised by the two countries which starts today.
Issues such as climate change, water resources, and environmental effects
on human health are just some of those up for discussion at The
International Environmetrics Society (TIES) conference being held at the
Friendship Hotel, Beijing on 22-26 August.
