Saturday, November 17. - 21. 2007
Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum
Frankfurt am Main
This EVAN intensive training course is dedicated to EVAN fellows, consortium staff members and other researchers, who are interested in functional morphology studies and digital analysis of teeth. Lectures, interactive training and working with the Senckenberg mammalian collections provide the opportunity to gain knowledge of dental evolution and occlusal wear pattern. ITC participants will be inducted into 3D surface model processing, Occlusal Fingerprint Analysis (OFA), jaw motion analysis and functional interpretation of human tooth wear. Training with up-to-date 3D topometry system smartScan3D and Polyworks modular 3D software augments to reconstruct human jaw movement from tooth wear pattern.
For participants please fill the application form attached, and send it via fax (+49-(0)7542-1558) or email (bdenkel@senckenberg.de) to Birgit Denkel-Oswalt, Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum, Palaeoanthropologie, Senckenberganlage 25, 60325 Frankfurt a.M., Germany. Hotel bookings should be arranged as soon as possible, because the Frankfurt trade fair is very busy in November. For accommodation check the hotel list (ITC-Hotel-list) attached. All participants should make their own hotel arrangements.
Please notice that ITC space is limited; therefore apply as soon as possible; latest until September 30th 2007.
