SUMMARY:Laserlab-Europe Talk: Elucidating the Photon Migration Effects in Incubated Chicken Eggs using Time-Domain Diffuse Optics\, 20 May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Title: Elucidating the Photon Migration Effects in Incubated Chicken Eggs using Time-Domain Diffuse Optics Speaker: Lennard van den Tweel (Wageningen University and Research) Date: Wednesday\, 20 May 2026\, 16:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST) \nThe early and non-invasive assessment of chicken embryonic sex and viability is of great interest. This interest is driven by the ethical dilemma surrounding the culling of non-productive day-old male chicks in layer-hen production and by the need to improve hatchery efficiency. Optical techniques are widely investigated for these applications\, but are challenged by the complex optical properties and heterogeneous structure of avian eggs. Here\, we show that chicken eggs display unusual photon trapping behavior due to the eggshell behaving like an integrating sphere\, considerably extending photon time-of-flight. Time-domain diffuse optical spectroscopy (TD-DOS) on egg phantoms\, supported by Monte Carlo simulations and post-dispersive filtering experiments\, rule out fluorescence as the source for the long photon time-of-flight. These results point to diffuse reflections at the inner surface of the eggshell as the source of the long photon time-of-flight. Despite these boundary effects\, the retrieval of internal bulk optical properties remains feasible via inversion of the diffusion approximation after selection of appropriate boundary conditions\, as was demonstrated in incubated eggs. Finally\, phantom experiments illustrate how the integrating sphere affects the temporal response of time-resolved Raman and fluorescence measurements\, highlighting critical challenges in non-invasive optical characterization of avian embryos. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Registration

SUMMARY:Lasers4EU Training | Hands-on Course on MINDLAB: Manipulating and Investigating Neural Dynamics for Learning and Ageing in the Brain\, 13-17 July 2026
DESCRIPTION:The core faculty of the ICFO-MINDLAB\, a think tank working jointly towards a transdisciplinary understanding of the brain\, offers a school to introduce cutting edge technologies to study neuroscience at the molecular\, cellular and systems level to students in a combination of lectures and hands-on experience leading to group projects. \nWhat is MINDLAB?\nMINDLAB stands for “Manipulating and Investigating Neural Dynamics for Learning and Ageing in the Brain” and is an interdisciplinary creative playground rooted squarely in academic rigor\, comprising of research groups from ICFO and beyond. We focus on advancing fundamental knowledge on how the mind emerges from the behavior of individual molecules\, neurons and brain networks but also creating and commercializing transformational future technologies with outstanding potential to impact our society for good. \nHence\, this course will expose participants to the state-of-the-art of photonics-based technologies tailored to monitor a hierarchy of scales in the study of the brain: i.e. from single molecules up to the whole organism. \nThe MINDLAB faculty includes world leading experts in their fields. The expertise of the core faculty is complemented by a diverse set of affiliated adjunct faculty from various research centres in Barcelona but also through clinical and corporate partners. \nThis year’s school coincide with the arrival of ICFO’s Summer Fellows\, a group of highly motivated master-level or engineering students in their final years of study\, who join ICFO research groups for three-month internships (July-September) \nHands-on sessions\nParticipants will engage in lab sessions focused on the latest photonics technologies. Each lab session will provide participants with an opportunity to work directly with advanced equipment and gain valuable practical skills. \nThe sessions will take place in the following labs: \n\nSuper resolution Light microscopy and Nanoscopy\nNeurophotonics and Mechanical Systems Biology\nMedical Optics\nPhoton Harvesting in Plants and Biomolecules\nSingle Molecules Biophotonics\n\n
