THANK YOU.

The segment is 5 minutes long. We will begin the screenings at approximately 3:00 pm and bring people in to the amphitheatre 80 people at a time (due to the number of glasses). We will end around 4:00 pm. You are welcome to come by (and to forward this email to others) to see this exciting introduction into the 'city of the brain' which features David Colman, Robert Zatorre, Edward Fon, Ed Ruthazer, Donatella Tampieri and Dan Guitton. Regards, Sandra McPherson NEUROPOLIS A documentary film about how scientists study the brain "In Man is a three pound brain which, as far as we know, is the most complex and orderly arrangement of matter in the Universe." Isaac Asimov Description and concept: Neuropolis will be a documentary film that will capture the passion of scientists who study how the brain works, and the awe they have about the subject of their study. The purpose of the film is to stimulate the natural curiosity about the brain that young people have innately, and to attract them into a career in Neuroscience. The title refers to the metaphor of the brain organized like a city, with "nerve centers" and "highways," and "neighborhoods." Both a large city and the brain are systems in which a very large number of events occur simultaneously and in parallel. In fact, brain structure actually resembles in many respects a city, and raises the fascinating question of how multiple processes occurring simultaneously are seamlessly integrated to give rise to our perceptions of the world around us. In the film, problems in brain research will be defined and explained in simple terms by scientists and clinicians from the MNI of McGill University, and from around the world. Questions like: "How do we see? How do we form memories? Why do all cultures create music? How do we learn music and language?" will be addressed. Neuropolis will be bilingual, English/French, and will be readily accessible in terms of content to young audiences worldwide. Neuropolis is a collaboration between the Montreal Neurological Institute of McGill University and the Stereo Lab of the National Film Board of Canada in Quebec. The creative partners - the MNI of McGill University and the NFB: The MNI of McGill University: The mission of the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI, or Neuro) of McGill University is to increase knowledge through original research, apply this knowledge to the treatment of neurological patients, and to disseminate this knowledge through outreach to all levels of society. The MNI is the premier comprehensive neuroscience medical center in the world. Dr. Wilder Penfield's original vision for a great institution that would make major contributions on a global scale has driven the MNI for the past 75 years and it has been incredibly successful in this regard. The MNI exists to contribute solutions to problems of disease and problems of neuroscience and to disseminate through various educational modalities the results of our experience. It offers the finest in clinical care for intractable neurological conditions and has been doing so for over 70 years. Generations of distinguished neuroscientists and clinicians from around the world have been drawn to the MNI to learn, to do research, to teach and to treat patients. They serve the Quebec community, and then return to their home institutions to put into practice what they have learned. The MNI's outreach and teaching activities are extensive. At the MNI, hundreds of students and postdoctoral fellows are enrolled in advanced training programs. The MNI also participates in Brain Awareness Week and in Discovery Day, events in which students from Quebec come to the MNI to learn firsthand what it is like to do experiments in a laboratory. Of note, Montreal's grade 5 and 6 classes will be participating in the MNI's 75th Anniversary celebration this year by entering a citywide contest that will invite children to suggest items to be placed inside a time capsule that will be inserted into the original cornerstone of the MNI's first Pavilion, built in 1933. Representatives from the winning class will be in attendance during the ceremony and will put together the final contents of the time capsule, which will be opened 75 years hence, in the year 2082. In so doing, Quebec children will be taking part in history, and it is hoped that some of them will be in attendance when the capsule is opened 75 years from now! The National Film Board of Canada - Stereo Lab (Quebec): The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) has won 12 Academy Awards, including an honorary Oscar for it's "dedicated commitment to originate artistic, creative, and technological activity and excellence in every area of film making." The NFB has led the way in cinematic innovation for more than 70 years, and has been instrumental in creating and producing films in and about Quebec. For example, to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Quebec City and it's founder Samuel de Champlain, the NFB and the Mus?e de Civilization du Quebec joined forces to create "Facing Champlain" - a ground breaking, three dimensional stereoscopic film that is the centerpiece of a permanent exhibition in the heart of the old city of Quebec. The NFB Stereo Lab brings together innovative technologies and expertise from the NFB's animation studios to encourage experimentation in stereoscopic media. It is therefore at the forefront of the creation of optimal environments to explore and create new film experiences. The partnership between the MNI and NFB in creating Neuropolis is well under way and represents a perfect match of complementary talents. Both institutions are state-of-the-art and are at the forefront of their fields. Together therefore, they form an ideal foundation upon which to create this innovative, exciting and adventurous new film. Target Audience: The main target audience will be pre-teenagers whose curiosities are still developing. The film should be equally suitable to adult audiences and will be vividly illustrated. Format: The format will be a 45 minute IMAX film in three dimensions. This format is the hallmark of the NFB Stereo Lab. Budget: The budget is expected to be about $7.5 million. Distribution: Distribution will be worldwide. Partnerships: In addition to the creative partners for Neuropolis (the MNI of McGill University and the NFB), we will be soliciting support from provincial education ministries as well as private foundations, corporations and individual philanthropists Sandra McPherson, PhD Communications Officer/Relationniste Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, McGill University Institut et h?pital neurologiques de Montr?al, Universit?

Statistical methods for out-of-plane ultrasound transducer motion estimation Abstract Freehand 3D ultrasound (US) imaging usually involves moving a conventional tracked 2D US probe over a subject and combining the images into a volume for future interpretation. Tracking devices are cumbersome; thus, there is interest in inferring the trajectory of the transducer based on the images themselves. This thesis focuses on methods for the recovery of the out-of-plane component of the transducer trajectory using the predictive relationship between the elevational decorrelation of US speckle and transducer displacement. Combinatorial optimisation and robust statistics are combined to recover non-monotonic motion and frame intersections. To account for the variability of sample correlation coefficients between image patches of fully developed speckle, a probabilistic speckle decorrelation model is developed. This model quantifies the uncertainty of displacement estimates and facilitates the use of a maximum likelihood out-of-plane trajectory estimation approach which exploits the information available from multiple noisy correlation measurements. To generalise these methods to imagery of real tissue, a data-driven method is proposed for locally estimating elevational correlation length based on statistical features collected within the image plane. The relationship between the image features and local elevational correlation length is learned by sparse Gaussian process regression using a training set of synthetic US image sequences. The synthetic imagery used for learning is created via a statistical model for the spatial distribution of US scatterers which maps realisations of a 1D generalised Poisson process to a 3D Hilbert space-filling curve. With imagery of animal tissue, the learning-based approach is shown to give distance estimates more accurate than those obtained using a speckle detection filter and comparable to the state-of-the-art heuristic method. Remaining modelling imperfections are accounted for by an iterative algorithm which extends the proposed maximum likelihood measurement fusion approach. In this algorithm, measurement fusion and measurement selection steps based on statistical hypothesis testing alternate to establish a trajectory estimate based on measurements which agree with each other. This approach succeeds in avoiding distance under-estimates arising from image structures exhibiting significant but uninformative correlation over long distances. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Staff are required to bring their medicare card and another piece of identification. Staff can also call OHS on local 36994 for an appointment to be vaccinated, however the government has stipulated that no vaccine can be wasted, so we need to vaccinate a minimum of ten healthcare workers at the same time.

Her talk is " Making and erasing fear memories. Dr. Josselyn is a senior scientist at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto and an associate professor in the Dept. Physiology at the University of Toronto. She has made important advances in understanding how neurons are chosen to participate in memories and has recently shown for the first time, that neurons that are activated during learning also participate in the memory trace. She uses sophisticated mouse genetics to gain a deeper understanding of learning and memory. Please come for a fascinating talk. http://www.sickkids.ca/AboutSickKids/Directory/People/J/Sheena-Josselyn.html Selective erasure of a fear memory.
