Jennifer ----- Original Message ----- From: Christophe Grova To: 217L-SEMINAR_NOTICE at LISTS.MCGILL.CA Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 5:57 PM Subject: Seminar in Biomedical Engineering - Wednesday Sept 8th - 1 pm Dear all, Starting this term, I will be in charge of the Seminar in Biomedical Engineering Series (BMDE 500). For our first seminar, I will give it myself introducing my area of research. The seminar is then scheduled for next Wednesday - September 8th, at 1 pm at 321 Lyman Duff. Speaker: Christophe Grova, Multimodal Functional Imaging Lab Title: Theory of multimodal data fusion: Integration of multimodal functional data using electrophysiology and hemodynamic processes The purpose of this talk is to introduce main strategies used to combine functional neuroimaging data. Functional data explore different characteristics of brain activity, such as electrophysiology measuring directly neuronal activity using Magneto- or Electro-Encephalography (MEG /EEG) or indirectly through hemodynamic processes using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). By nature these exploration techniques are measuring activity of different origins covering different and complementary ranges of spatial and temporal resolutions, suggesting the necessary need for multimodal integration. Several techniques of data fusion will be presented such as simultaneous acquisitions, comparative fusion, constrained fusion or symmetrical fusion of functional data. EEG and MEG consisting in scalp measurements, estimation of brain activity requires the resolution of an ill-posed inverse problem. The integration of anatomical or functional prior in this context will be presented, as well as its relevance using a model comparison framework. The data fusion techniques will be illustrated in the field of the presurgical mapping of patient with epilepsy. Reference: Concordance between distributed EEG source localization and simultaneous EEG-fMRI studies of epileptic spikes. Grova C, Daunizeau J, Kobayashi E, Bagshaw AP, Lina JM, Dubeau F, Gotman J.

Killam Lecturer is Dr. Marianne Bronner-Fraser, the Albert Billings Ruddock Professor of Biology at the California Institute of Technology. An expert in early formation of the vertebrate nervous system and how vertebrates evolve, she will deliver her lecture, "Gene regulatory network underlying neural crest formation" on September 27, 2010 in the Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre at 4 pm. (poster attached). A reception will follow in the Foyer. The Dorothy J. Killam Lecture was established at The Neuro to recognize women of influence in science, politics or the humanities. It is named after Mrs. Killam, an extraordinary woman who, together with her husband, made immense contributions to Canadian education and science. The Killam Trusts support a wide variety of activities at five Canadian universities and institutes, including the Montreal Neurological Institute. Dr. Marianne Bronner-Fraser received her Sc.B. from Brown University (1975) and her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University (1979) in biophysics. She joined the faculty at University of California, Irvine in 1980 (Assistant Professor to full Professor) and subsequently moved to Caltech in 1996. She is Past President of the Society for Developmental Biology and Editor for several journals (Developmental Biology, Journal of Cell Biology, Molecular Biology of the Cell). Dr. Bronner-Fraser has published extensively in top journals such as PNAS, Nature, Developmental Biology, and Development and has won a number of student initiated teaching awards. All are welcome and graduate students are strongly encouraged to attend.

The title of his talk is "Corticocentric Myopia: Social Darwinism and Victorian Bias in Modern Neurosciences". Abstract of the talk: Traditionally, the cerebral cortex is seen to have the most important role in 'higher' functions of the brain, such as cognition and behavioral regulation, whereas subcortical structures are considered to have subservient or no roles in these functions. This talk will cover the historical basis for this conceptual bias, and will emphasize its negative implications in current practices in the cognitive and clinical neurosciences. Josef Parvizi graduated from the University of Oslo with MD Cum Laude and earned his PhD in neurosciences from the University of Iowa. His PhD thesis received the Spriestersbach Award for the best PhD dissertation in Biological Sciences at The University of Iowa in 1999. During his post-doctoral years, he embarked on a series of neuroanatomical tracing studies in nonhuman primates and mapped the connectivity of the posteromedial cortex and the temporal pole with cortical and subcortical structures. He completed his medical internship at Mayo Clinic Rochester, and Neurology Residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center - Harvard Medical School before joining the Epilepsy group at UCLA for fellowship training in Clinical Epilepsy and Neurophysiology. He has been an assistant professor and practicing neurologist at Stanford University since July 2007. M.

Dr. Baillet is currently the Scientific Director of the MEG Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin and prior to 2008 held a similar position at La Salp?tri?re Hospital in Paris. His MEG research has spanned the range from basic physical analysis of neural currents and electromagnetic interactions with the brain to numerous clinical and cognitive neuroscience studies employing MEG. Dr. Baillet is an excellent speaker and he will be focusing this seminar on some of his most recent research. Regards, Bruce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
