ICE 2002 in Montreal, Canada
July 2-5, 2002
This 29th Congress on Electrocardiography was held jointly with the 4th International Conference on Bioelectromagnetism, organized by the the International Society for Bioelectromagnetism. This was the first time that these meetings were combined. The program included an Electrocardiology track and a Neurophysiology track.
On a different note, the meeting partially overlapped with the acclaimed Montreal Jazz Festival, at walking distance from the conference hotel.
During the meeting, the Ragnar Granit Prize was awarded to Professor Fernando H. Lopes da Silva of the Institute of Neurobiology, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He gave a lecture with the title Nonlinear Analysis of EEG/MEG: The Case of the Epilepsies as Diseases of Brain Dynamics.
