Keith Worsley (on behalf of the organizers) ==== IPAM/CCB Summer School: Mathematics in Brain Imaging July 14 - 25, 2008 University of California, Los Angeles This two-week intensive workshop will focus on mathematical techniques applied to brain images to measure, map and model brain structure and function. Topics will range from modeling anatomical structures in MRI scans, and mapping connectivity in diffusion tensor images, to statistical analysis of functional brain images from fMRI, EEG, and MEG. Current applications in radiology and neuroscience will be highlighted, as will new directions in the mathematics of structural and functional image analysis. In the second week on Functional Brain Mapping, a series of lectures on diffusion tensor imaging will discuss mathematics and tools for registration, segmentation, fiber tracking and connectivity modeling in tensor and "beyond-tensor" (high-angular resolution) diffusion images, using metrics on Riemannian manifolds. Software implementing a wide range of algorithms will be demonstrated; tutorial notes will be provided. Talks will interest newcomers as well as experts in the field. Morning lectures on the principles behind the methods; afternoon lectures will go in-depth into applications. Program Schedule Week 1: Computational Anatomy, July 14 -18, 2008 Week 2: Functional Brain Mapping, July 21 -25, 2008 see http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/mbi2008/ for more details. ==== From jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca Mon Feb 4 09:32:47 2008 From: jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca (Jennifer Chew, Ms.) Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 09:32:47 -0500 Subject: [BIC-announce] FW: Killam Lecture - Tomorrow - Stem Cells and Smell Cells: The Developmental Pathways, Regenerative Properties and Cellular Specializations Underlying Olfaction Message-ID: PLEASE DISCARD IF THIS IS A DUPLICATE.

THANK YOU. JENNIFER SPECIAL LECTURE Matti S. H?m?l?inen, PhD Director, MEG Core Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging Massachusetts General Hospital, Charlestown, MA, USA Progress and Challenges of Multimodal Imaging using MEG, EEG, MRI, & fMRI Friday February 8, 2008 1:00 pm de Grandpr? Communications Centre Abstract of lecture: Independently, electromagnetic and hemodynamic measurements of brain activity offer compromises between spatial and temporal resolution. fMRI is temporally limited by the slow time course of the hemodynamic response, but can provide a spatial sampling on a millimeter scale. EEG and MEG in turn provide a temporal resolution of milliseconds, but the localization of sources is more complicated because of the ill-posed electromagnetic inverse problem. Elucidating the spatial distribution and temporal orchestration of human brain regions is thus facilitated by combining information provided by both anatomical and functional MRI with EEG/MEG data. It was recognized very early on by the MEG researchers that the spatiotemporal distribution of the magnetic field can be used to estimate the sources of the underlying brain activity. This information can be integrated with anatomical MRI data to associate the source locations with anatomical structures. Such a combination of the two methods has been often called Magnetic Source Imaging (MSI). In addition, anatomical MRI date are now employed routinely to delineate boundaries between regions of different electrical conductivities for forward field computations, to restrict the locations and orientations of the sources, and in advanced visualization techniques involving three-dimensional renderings of the cortical mantle and other structures. The fusion of electromagnetic and hemodynamic data is still in its infancy. In the presently available modeling methods, this is usually accomplished by confining the sources to the cortical gray matter and by computing a distributed current estimate with a stronger a priori weighting at locations with significant fMRI activity. More elaborate methods which attempt to model the two data sets jointly under a common framework are also emerging. Furthermore, basic studies which aim at understanding the relationship between the hemodynamic and electromagnetic signals are ongoing and will eventually result in physiologically motivated rather than partly heuristic source estimation models. Rather surprisingly, relatively little effort has been devoted to combination of MEG with EEG, its most obvious companion. This has been due to difficulties in collecting both types of data simultaneously with truly indentical preprocessing and to challenges in combined modelling of the two data sets. Presently, many laboratories are collecting MEG and EEG data simultaneously and exploring source models which incorporate the two types of data. Both simulations and analyses of actual data sets have shown that the combination of these two methods yields more reliable estimates of the sources than using one modality alone. Furthermore, these studies indicate that the improvement is not due to the increased number of measurement channels but is attributable to the different sensitivities of MEG and EEG to the cerebral current sources. Short biography: Matti H?m?l?inen joined the neuromagnetism group, now known as the Brain Research Unit (BRU), at the Low Temperature Laboratory of Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) in 1981 and received his MSc and PhD degrees in 1983 and 1989, respectively. Throughout his scientific career his main research interest has been the source analysis of bioelectromagnetic measurements and the combination of MEG and EEG with other imaging methods, most notably MRI and fMRI. H?m?l?inen's about 80 peer-reviewed publications include several seminal results on MEG analysis methods and instrumentation and he has delivered more than 20 invited talks in international conferences. His findings include the introduction of minimum-norm approach for estimating the sources of MEG signals, introduction of the Bayesian statistical approach to MEG source estimation, and a novel and since then widely used approach to avoid numerical instability in the solution of the MEG/EEG forward problem with the boundary-element method. He was also a member of the core team developing the 122-channel and 306-channel whole-head neuromagnetometers in Helsinki. Together with his coworkers, he received the Innovation Prize of the Finnish National Fund for Research and Development in 1992 and The Finnish Engineering Prize in 1996. H?m?l?inen has also been an active collaborator in numerous neuroscientific research projects in which MEG has been applied to reveal functional organization of the human brain. The H-index of his publications is 34, which indicates a very strong influence of his work on the scientific community. Together with his colleagues, Matti H?m?l?inen published in 1993 a seminal review article on MEG in Reviews of Modern Physics, which has attracted more than 1000 citations. From the beginning of 2001 he has been working at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. At present he is the Director of the MEG core at the Martinos Center and Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School. His current research interests include the development of anatomically-constrained source estimation methods, combination of electromagnetic source imaging with fMRI and NIRS, as well as frequency-domain and coherence analysis of MEG and EEG data. ----- From jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca Fri Feb 8 09:59:16 2008 From: jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca (Jennifer Chew, Ms.) Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 09:59:16 -0500 Subject: [BIC-announce] REMINDER - MONDAY'S BIC SEMINAR FEBRUARY 11, 2008 Stress, dopamine and vulnerability: PET and fMRI studies of stress inschizotypy Message-ID: ***REMINDER*** BIC SEMINAR SERIES MONDAY'S BIC SEMINAR Date: Monday, February 11, 2008 Time: 1:00 P.M.

Brain Awareness Week is an annual public information campaign created by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives in order to educate the public on the functions of the brain and the importance of brain research. Since 1998, Montreal has participated in BAW by having graduate students from all four Montreal universities volunteer presentations at numerous elementary and secondary educational institutions. The event has earned us considerable praise from the schools visited and from the media, while nearly all the volunteers who participated reported it to be a valuable and enjoyable experience. This year's BAW will be taking place from March 10th to 16th. Many schools have registered for our presentations and we are currently calling on all students and post-docs to volunteer their time to support this great event during this week. You do not have to prepare the presentation ? we will do that for you! All you have to do is pick up the kit with all the information in it and go to the school to give the presentation. Your enthusiasm and desire to teach is invaluable to the success of the BAW campaign. To participate, simply fill out the attached form and return it to BAWvolunteers at gmail.com. If you want to fill out the form online, it's even easier! Just go to http://www.bawvolunteers.com and fill out the online form! To learn more about Brain Awareness Week activities, please visit our website at http://www.sfn-montreal.ca/baw/main.htm. If you have any questions, please write to BAWvolunteers at gmail.com and we will answer you quickly. B?n?voles recherch?s pour la semaine Cerveau en t?te!
