As a result, all access to the loading dock, ambulance entrance doors, handicapped parking, and the Lyman Duff rear loading dock will be blocked as of 7:00 AM, Monday, June 1st. Because of the extensive damage to the eastern portion of the slab, the project will be carried out in two phases. The 1st phase will include all the work required to complete the repairs, to a point beyond the column east of the loading dock, and will be completed by July 17th. As of July 17th, access to the loading dock will be available for deliveries, as well as restricted access to the handicapped parking. Pedestrian traffic will then be able to access this entrance to the building from University Street. The Administration of Lyman Duff Building will allow the use of their loading dock, at 551 Pine Avenue, during phase 1. The Neuro Receiving Department will be manning this loading dock during the renovation period. To minimize traffic, only essential deliveries should be sent to this site. Departments should attempt to stockpile as much materials as possible or postpone deliveries until completion of phase 1. Please advise all your delivery and service providers of this situation. Phase 2 will include part of the area in front of the ramp to the handicapped parking as well as the area immediately in front of the access to the rear of Lyman Duff Building. Because of the extent of the damage to the south east corner of the structural slab and the complexity of isolating and protecting the equipment, major electrical cabling, etc., in the mechanical room beneath this area, phase 2 will not be completed until as late as the end of September. If you have any questions regarding this project, contact Fred Pennell projects.mni at mcgill.ca or 514-497- 2322 ********************************* Mise ? jour - entr?e des ambulances Le projet d'entretien que McGill avait report?, la r?paration de la dalle porteuse de l'entr?e des ambulances, commencera le 1er juin 2009. Par cons?quent, tous les acc?s ? la plate-forme de chargement, aux portes de l'entr?e des ambulances, au stationnement r?serv? aux personnes handicap?es et ? la plate-forme de chargement arri?re du Pavillon Lyman Duff seront bloqu?s ? partir du lundi 1er juin ? 7 h. En raison des dommages importants ? la portion est de la dalle, le projet sera divis? en deux phases. La 1re phase comprendra tous les travaux requis pour compl?ter les r?parations, jusqu'? un point situ? au-del? de la colonne est de la plate-forme de chargement, et sera compl?t?e pour le 17 juillet. ? partir du 17 juillet, l'acc?s ? la plate-forme de chargement sera ouvert pour les livraisons. De plus, un acc?s restreint au stationnement r?serv? aux personnes handicap?es sera permis. Les pi?tons pourront d?s lors avoir acc?s ? cette entr?e de l'?difice en passant par la rue University. Pendant la phase 1, l'administration du Pavillon Lyman Duff permettra l'utilisation de sa plate-forme de chargement, situ?e au 551, avenue des Pins. Le service de la r?ception du Neuro g?rera cette plate-forme de chargement pendant la dur?e des r?novations. Afin de minimiser la circulation, seules les livraisons essentielles devront ?tre achemin?es vers ce site. Les diff?rents services devraient tenter d'accumuler des stocks le plus possible ou de reporter les livraisons jusqu'? ce que la phase 1 soit compl?t?e. Veuillez aviser tous vos fournisseurs de services et vos livreurs de la situation. La phase 2 comprendra une partie de la zone situ?e devant la rampe d'acc?s menant au stationnement r?serv? aux personnes handicap?es ainsi que la zone juste devant l'acc?s ? l'arri?re du Pavillon Lyman Duff. En raison de l'ampleur des dommages au coin sud-ouest de la dalle porteuse et de la complexit? ? isoler et ? prot?ger notamment l'?quipement et les principaux c?blages ?lectriques dans le local des installations m?caniques situ? sous cette zone, la phase 2 ne sera pas compl?t?e avant la fin septembre. Si vous avez des questions relativement ? ce projet, veuillez contacter Fred Pennell ? projects.mni at mcgill.ca ou au 514-497- 2322.

Communication Centre Time: 4:00 pm ------------------------------------------------------------ Tirin Moore is a leader in the study of the neural mechanisms of visual-motor integration and the neural basis of cognition (e.g. attention). He and his student's study the activity of single neurons in visual and motor structures within the brain, examine how perturbing that activity affects neurons in other brain structures, and also how it affects the perceptual and motor performance of behaving animals. Questions currently addressed by his group include: (1) How are the signals conveyed by visual cortical neurons used to guide eye movements? (2) How does oculomotor feedback affect processing in visual cortex? (3) What is the impact of planned movements on visual perception? (4) What are the neural circuits and neural computations that control selective attention?

College of Wisconsin), Jean-Marc Lina (Ecole de Technologie Superieure, CRM) (http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/Inverse09/index_e.php) ********************************************************************************************* Sylvain Baillet, Jean-MarcLina and myself are organizing a workshop entitled "Inverse problems in brain imagery and multimodal data fusion". This workshop supported by the "Centre de Recherche en Math?matiques" de l'Universit? de Montr?al (http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/) will last 5 days in Montreal from the 24th to the 29th of August 2009 The diversity of non invasive imaging devices (MRI, EEG, MEG, Near Infrared Spectroscopyl) allows one to explore the brain dynamics provided there exists a mathematical framework that encompass this multimodality and the complexity of the inherent sources of the cerebral signals. Despite a general agreement about the source modelling, many mathematical strategies have been elaborated in order to solve the inevitable ill-posed inverse problem. What are the common features between those approaches? What are the mathematical frameworks the most appropriate for handling simultaneous measurements from different modalities? What are the best approaches for estimating both spatial and temporal brain activities? The workshop will consist in full 3-hours invited lectures followed by more specific presentations and one poster session. Participants interested in presenting a contributed talk or a poster are invited to submit an abstract before the 15th of July 2009. Participants interested in attending, the registration is now open, places are limited Check our website for more information: http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/Inverse09/index_e.php Preliminary program below We hope to see you in Montreal Grova Christophe, Baillet Sylvain, and Lina Jean-Marc ----------------------------- Monday August 24th: Inverse problem (1) - Matti Hamalainen - Martinos Cent. for Biomed.

For instance the processes involved in constructing figurative and literal meanings leading to new ideas (i.e. creative expressions) are still quite a mystery. Uncovering these processes, may require evaluating the dynamic pattern of complex neuronal structures that emerge during concept comprehension and processing. Creative expressions such as metaphors may violate the literal meaning and the usual logics or conventions. For producing/understanding a metaphoric expression, unrelated concepts (memory, doors) have to be integrated ultimately into a meaningful linguistic form. Similarly, to generate new idea for pizza delivery services one may have to connect artificially and then resolve the incongruity between two different attributes such as price and temperature. The lecture present our studies of the cognitive processes involved in the comprehension of creative language, and the evaluation (using Complexity Systems approaches) of the functional networks emergent during figurative versus literal expressions.
