Abstract :
THIS YEAR, the Tenth Annual Conference on Electrical Techniques in Medicine and Biology will be held in Boston, Mass., November 6–8, at the Sheraton-Plaza Hotel. This annual meeting is sponsored by the Joint Executive Committee on Medicine and Biology of the three major electrotechnical societies of the Unites States. The purpose of this conference is to bring together electrical engineers, physicians, biologists, electronic instrumentologists, radiation physicists, physiologists, and others to discuss the latest electrical and electronic techniques in biology and medicine and to arrange symposia on current problems. The coming meeting is being sponsored by the AIEE, the Instrument Society of America, the Boston Chapter of the Professional Group on Medical Electronics of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE), and the Medical Physics Group of Boston who are acting as hosts to the meeting. The sessions are planned primarily as symposia in which the formal presentations are intended as preliminary steps to the stimulation of discussion and the free exchange of ideas.
