Data Mining in Large Datasets

Data mining used to mean over-analysing a data set, but that is now
called `data dredging', and data mining is a newly popular term for finding
structure in large-scale databases.
The talk will give an introduction to the area and illustrate it by two
case studies from Magnetic Resonance Imaging of human brains, one on
classifying tissue and one on determining where in the brain the subject is
thinking.
