Keith Worsley died at his home in Chicago after a brief, brave battle against cancer. Keith spent most of his professional life at McGill University in Montreal as a Professor of Mathematics and Statistics before moving to the University of Chicago in the fall of 2008. Shortly after his arrival he was diagnosed with islet cell cancer and, despite the best of care, he passed away on Friday, February 27th at his home with his family. Raised in New Zealand, Keith spent much of his working life at McGill collaborating with colleagues in the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre at the Montreal Neurological Institute. He made many fundamental contributions to the field of Human Brain Mapping in the statistical analysis of functional and structural brain imaging data, beginning with his seminal 1992 paper on the applications of Random Field Theory in the analysis of PET activation experimental data. He subsequently extended these approaches to the analysis of fMRI and structural MRI data, incorporating the time domain and scale space. In recent years he was fascinated by the statistical aspects of "connectivity" in all its forms, functional, structural and DTI-based. He developed publically-available software packages for volume-based (fMRIstat) and surface-based (surfstat) data analysis that are widely used in the HBM community. Keith served in various leadership positions on OHBM Council and was actively involved in many international collaborations within the HBM community. He was held in equally high regard in his home discipline, being a Canadian Statistical Society Gold Medallist, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. While many of us often found his publications in brain mapping journals intimidating because of their theoretical rigour and virtuosity, those papers were no match for the more general papers he published in statistical journals !. Keith was a much-loved friend, a warm and generous colleague who always had time for his students and confused neuroscientists. His passion for his craft was evident to all who worked with or studied under him. He will be sorely missed by all of us. At this moment, memorial arrangements have not been finalized. Those who wish to send condolences may contact his partner in Chicago: Chuanhong Liao 5660 S. Blackstone #2 Chicago, IL, 60637 773-947-9660 For your information. As received by Dr. Alan Evans from Dr. Hurtubise.

He is widely known for his influential work on the neural substrates of error monitoring, motor learning, and decision making in the human brain. His work addresses the basic systems that we use to know 'how we are doing' in a variety of contexts, and how we engage and disengage executive control to optimize performance. He has particularly focused on the role of anterior cingulate cortex in these processes. He is also interested in how these systems develop in early childhood, and whether they contribute to psychopathology, particularly obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Bill is an excellent speaker, and will no doubt give an engaging talk. Missing it would be, um, an error! Regards, Lesley Selected papers: Taylor, S. F., Stern, E. R., & Gehring, W. J. (2007).

Hayes University of Nevada For many years, applied psychological scientists hoped that rapid progress in clinical areas could be built on randomized controlled trials of manuals linked to syndromes. After decades of effort some progress has been made, but it has slowed. A more theoretically sophisticated strategy seems to be needed to pick up the pace of scientific and practical advances. In this talk I will explain how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy came to be focused on acceptance, mindfulness, and values as key transdiagnostic processes. I will review the evidence suggesting that they provide the foundation for a unified model of behavior change with a startlingly broad range of application across a full range of clinical problems (mental health, substance abuse, behavioral aspects of chronic disease) but continuing even into such areas as stigma, prejudice, ability to learn, and performance.

Please see message below. Thank you. Jennifer "Montreal, March 18, 2009 Dear colleagues, I am happy to inform you that our PET team is now able to perform accurate measurement and correction of subject motion during HRRT PET scans through the use of the Polaris Vicra infrared tracking device. We are now able to detect and correct for motion on a sub-millimeter and sub-second basis. The technique has been developed in-house and has been tested using germanium phantoms. For all of this, we're indebted to Jeroen Verhaeghe, Andrew Reader and Richard Fukasawa who together worked very hard, building on the initial efforts by Chris Thompson, to make this functional. The need for such motion correction is obvious for high spatial resolution HRRT imaging. The correction technique will improve the reliability of voxel-level time-activity curves, which currently can change simply due to subject movement within the scanner. The only change to the standard PET scan procedure will be a request that the subject wear a single use shower cap and an extensible swim cap to which a light plastic cross with four reflective spheres is attached. The subject movement will then be tracked with the Polaris Vicra, an infrared tracking device mounted on a tripod behind the scanner. The template for the Consent Form (both English and French) now posted on our website has been modified to allow for this to be performed (see on web site at http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/admin/protocols). The procedure will provide you with images processed in exactly the same way as is currently done, but with the option to also have motion corrected images. If you are interested in applying this technique to your current HRRT scan protocols or if you have any questions regarding this technique, don't hesitate to contact us. With the best regards and hoping our new motion estimation and correction techniques will be of interest and benefit to your research.

Professor Duncan is a consummate clinician-scientist and distinguished teacher whose dedication to research has led to important observations and novel views about epilepsy. His work is imaginative and successful in using advanced imaging techniques to provide new insights into the neurobiology of epilepsy. He has published more than 350 papers. Professor Duncan is also a leading advocate for patients with epilepsy, both in the UK and internationally. The International League Against Epilepsy and the International Bureau for Epilepsy made him an Ambassador for Epilepsy in 2005.
