The aim of Czech-BioImaging is to continue to develop a harmonized national network that coordinates the development of biomedical imaging, raises awareness of progressive imaging methods among the scientific, medical and application community, sets standardized open access to imaging devices and creates educational programs and courses for this field.

The origin project LIFEGATE introduced the prospect of multimode fibre based holographic endoscope as a unique tool for highresolution in-vivo imaging of structures residing deep inside the brain of animal models. It harnesses the power of controlled light transport through hair-thin MMFs to image and measure brain functions at single cell and sub-cellular level in virtually any brain structure, at unlimited depth and in uniquely atraumatic manner, thereby unlocking a variety of opportunities when answering urgent bio-medical questions.

Surgical removal of the epileptogenic tissue or implantation of a stimulation device represents the best chance for patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy to be seizure-free. Intracranial EEG acquisition, processing, and machine learning techniques have undergone rapid development and shown promise in the localization of epileptogenic tissue and seizure prediction. However, the transition of these methods into the clinic is slow even though the computational power of computers is sufficient.
