On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my pleasure and privilege to invite you to the 2nd International Symposium on Nonivasive Functional Source Imaging within the Human Brain and Heart, in Zagreb, Croatia, September 3-7, 1999.
        We are proud to carry on the tradition established at the First Austrian Symposium on Noninvasive Magnetic and Electrical Source Imaging within the Human Heart and Brain, held in Graz, (NFSI-97). The goal of this series of biannual international symposia is to promote the research and use of noninvasive functional imaging techniques such as MEG/MCG, EEG/ECG, fMRI, TMS both in basic and clinical applications.
         The NFSI-99 Symposium is aimed at gathering scientists from widely differing backgrounds but a shared vision of a multidisciplinary approach to assess brain and heart functions in health and disease. While considering a wide spectrum of topics ranging from data acquisition to data interpretation, we would like to preserve a strong emphasis on data analysis and evaluation of emerging modeling strategies. In order to pursue both a scientific and an educational mission with this meeting we are planning to have in addition to oral and poster session, invited and tutorial lectures, workshops on modeling and clinical applications, and a round table on the prospective and current worldwide initiatives related to the noninvasive functional imaging field. 
       We are delighted to welcome you in Croatia. Zagreb, the NFSI-99 host city, first appeared on European maps in 1094 AD, when it became the seat of bishopric. Zagreb grew up on two neighboring hills: Kaptol - the center of spiritual life of north-western Croatia, and Gradec - the settlement of skillful tradesmen and craftsmen. Now days Zagreb is a city of one million inhabitants. It is the political and administrative as well as  cultural, scientific, and economic center of the Republic of Croatia.

We look forward to seeing you in Zagreb.
