Title : Spatio-temporal evaluation of epileptic source localization using entropic technique from MEG data Abstract: In the context of presurgical investigation of patients with focal epilepsy, magnetic activity elicited by spontaneous epileptic discharges generated over a spatially extended cortical region could be detected using MagnetoEncephaloGraphy (MEG). Source localization consists in recovering from these scalp recordings, the generators of such discharges along the cortical source. A source localization method dedicated for this specific clinical application has been developed in the lab of Dr. Grova, it is based on the notion of entropy to regularize the inverse problem: Maximum Entropy on the Mean (MEM). My goal is to evaluate the ability of MEM to recover the spatial and temporal behaviours of the generators of epileptic discharges. To do so I have simulated propagating epileptic spikes and evaluated the quality of the localization obtained with MEM techniques. Moreover, I have compared the point spread functions of different localization techniques to assess their spatial accuracy. Finally, I will present a novel approach proposing a statistical test to threshold source localization results, using non parametric resampling techniques.

Thanks! -Xi Cheng Guest Associate Editor Frontiers in Neuroinformatics ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for papers: Frontiers in Neuroinformatics special topic ?Recent advances and the future generation of neuroinformatics infrastructure? Topic Editor(s): Xi Cheng, Daniel R. Weinberger, Daniel Marcus, John Van Horn, Venkata S. Mattay, Qian Luo Deadline for Abstract Submission: 31 Jul 2013 Deadline for Article Submission: 31 Oct 2013 The huge volume of multi-modal neuroimaging data across different neuroscience communities has posed a daunting challenge to traditional methods of data sharing, data archiving, data processing and data analysis. Neuroinformatics plays a crucial role in creating advanced methodologies and tools for the handling of varied and heterogeneous datasets in order to better understand the structure and function of the brain. These tools and methodologies not only enhance data collection, analysis, integration, interpretation, modeling, and dissemination of data, but also promote data sharing and collaboration. This Neuroinformatics Special Issue aims to summarize the state-of-art of the current achievements and explores the directions for the future generation of neuroinformatics infrastructure. We welcome submissions from the following 4 topic areas: 1) data archiving, 2) data processing and workflow, 3) data mining, and 4) system integration methodologies. The data archiving section focus on novel methods for efficient collection, storage and query of huge volume neuroimaging data, genetics data, and all other related measures as well as meta-data and processing results. The data processing and workflow section emphasizes methods that facilitate large-scale parallel data processing tasks under the heterogeneous computational environment. The data mining section emphasizes novel data analysis methodologies to extract meaningful information from the data. Finally the system integration section focus on the best practices and novel approaches to integrate multiple systems (database, workflow, ware house, etc). To be more specific, we would like to invite a spectrum of subtopics from the 4 areas, including but not limited to: 1.Data archiving 1.1.Novel data annotation and visualization 1.2.Archiving automation/simulation/de-identification/compression/quality control/ontology, etc. 1.3.Novel storage architecture (e.g., grid, web storage, XML, OO, ?, etc.) and search engine 1.4.Data warehousing 2.Data processing and workflow 2.1.Novel neuroimaging data processing algorithms, packages and libraries 2.2.Distributed/parallel algorithms design (cluster/GPU/FPGA/cloud/HPC, etc) 2.3.Neuroimaging workflow design 2.3.1.Visualization/annotation 2.3.2.Workflow for distributed/collaborative environment 2.3.3.Provenance, meta data management 3.Data mining 3.1.Novel multi-modal integration methods 3.2.Feature extraction and visualization methods 3.3.Novel machine learning methods 3.4.Novel applications (biomarker detection/clinical application/imaging-genomics/brain-computer-interface/publication mining, etc.) 4.System integration methodologies, frameworks, architectures and best practices 4.1.Integration of different software components, e.g., database/data warehouse/workflow system/data analysis package and libraries. 4.2.Cross-platform, cross-modality integration 4.3.Cross-domain integration 4.3.1. Integration of imaging database with other types of databases 4.3.2. Integration of imaging workflow with other types of workflow 4.4.Distributed system integration 4.4.1.

Speaker: Ye Gu, Master student under the supervision of Dr B Pike PhD, BME, McGill University Since Ye is a Master student registered to the course BMDE500 who is giving this seminar as part of McGill conditions to obtain his M.Sc., special attendance from our department (staff and students) is really expected, in order to give Ye feedback on his research studies. Title : Quantitative Magnetization Transfer in MRI - Methods, Processing and Validation Abstract: Quantitative Magnetization Transfer (qMT) techniques in MRI can sensitize measurements to properties of macromolecules such as Myelin, thereby become a potential diagnosis tool for disease like Multiple Sclerosis. Recent publication suggested a new on-resonance, balanced Steady-State Free Precession (bSSFP) method for fast imaging with good SNR (Gloor et al, 2008). The project aims to validate and optimize this new methods against the gold standard qMTSPGR method available at McGill. Meanwhile a complete simulation and data processing tool kit is developed.

Title : Quantitative Magnetization Transfer in MRI - Methods, Processing and Validation Abstract: Quantitative Magnetization Transfer (qMT) techniques in MRI can sensitize measurements to properties of macromolecules such as Myelin, thereby become a potential diagnosis tool for disease like Multiple Sclerosis. Recent publication suggested a new on-resonance, balanced Steady-State Free Precession (bSSFP) method for fast imaging with good SNR (Gloor et al, 2008). The project aims to validate and optimize this new methods against the gold standard qMTSPGR method available at McGill. Meanwhile a complete simulation and data processing tool kit is developed.

Title : Modulation of Ankle Stiffness During Upright Stance Abstract: The maintenance of stable posture involves the incorporation of inputs from several sensory pathways by the central nervous system, which can use this information to adapt its control strategy to the task at hand. Although systems such as vision have been shown to be involved in the control structure of upright stance, the exact manner in which they interact with the model remains unclear. In addition, ankle dynamics are known to vary with the angular position of the joint. This research aims to contribute to the understanding of ankle stiffness by examining changes in joint mechanics during varying postural sway torque and while vision is removed. Current techniques for the identification of joint stiffness are found to be suboptimal when applied to bilaterally perturbed upright stance, and avenues to rectify this issue are explored.

However, there are, as of today, no robust tools that suit this purpose. Simple paper/pencil tests still often have more predictive power than conventional brain mapping regarding therapeutic decisions upon follow-up studies. The problem is conceptual as both data acquisition and analysis are inaptly designed for the complex nature of neural processes. The traditional uni-dimensional analysis approach is robust in the statistical sense but the resulting simplistic activity maps relate too vaguely to the true temporo-spatial nature of aberrant functional trajectories that pathological thought processes consist of. Recent publications imply that pattern-recognizing brain-states analyses compute meaningful functional models that may suit especially the longitudinal comparison of data. New results in computing holistic state space models (SSM) in subjects afflicted with a developmental learning disability like dyslexia or dyscalculia or with schizophrenia are truly promising.

Louis Collins, Department of Biomedical Engineering and McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, McGill University Time: 12:00 - 1:30pm Date: Friday, March 22, 2013 Location: McGill School of Computer Science, MC103 Abstract: Alzheimer's currently affects approximately 0.5 million people in Canada, 5 million in North America, 25 million worldwide and will quadruple in prevalence by 2050 due to aging of the population. The social and financial costs are enormous. At present, it is estimated that the disease will affect 1 in 14 people that live to 80 years old. The aging baby-boomers are changing the population demographics, increasing the total numbers of people with AD. The good news is that the pharmaceutical industry is on the verge of a breakthrough in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. As in most diseases, early treatment of patients, before they have too much irreversible degeneration of brain tissue, is likely to be more effective. However, it is currently almost impossible to test drugs in patients with early Alzheimer's disease, due to the fact that only about 10-15% of patients with symptoms of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) suggestive of possible Alzheimer's disease will actually go on to develop Alzheimer's per year. This percentage is too low to allow for reasonably sized clinical trials, and it is unlikely that regulators would approve a drug for a population of patients, most of whom will never get the disease. In this talk, I will describe progress in image processing techniques (cortical thickness, local textures) from our lab to detect patterns of brain atrophy characteristic of Alzheimer's disease and to use this information to generate statistical models to predict which patients with MCI will rapidly go on to develop Alzheimer's disease. The tools we develop substantially facilitate the development of therapies for early Alzheimer's disease.They make it feasible to perform drug trials in patients with MCI due to early Alzheimer's disease, and, looking forward, they will make it possible to select patients in the clinic for early treatment. Biography: Dr. Collins is a professor in Neurology & Neurosurgery, Biomedical Engineering and associate member of the Centre for Intelligent Machines(CIM) at McGill and associate member of the McGill Centre for Studies in Aging. He teaches BDME650, the Advanced Medical Imaging course in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. His laboratory develops and uses computerized image processing techniques such as non-linear image registration and model-based segmentation to automatically identify structures within the human brain. These techniques are applied to a large data bases of magnetic resonance (MR) data from normal subjects to quantify anatomical variability. In image-guided neurosurgery (IGNS), these techniques provide the surgeon with computerized tools to assist in interpreting anatomical, functional and vascular image data, permitting the effective planning and execution of minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures. Automated atlasing is essential in IGNS for thalamotomy and pallidotomy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, or temporal-lobe depth electrode implantation in the diagnosis of epilepsy, since tissue targets in these procedures cannot be viewed directly on MR. Computerized atlasing minimizes trauma to the patient and allows resection of the smallest amount of brain tissue necessary for effective therapeutic treatment. _________________________________________________________ Krys (Christine) Dudek Program Administrator, NSERC CREATE Program for Medical Image Analysis Centre for Intelligent Machines 3480 University Street McConnell Engineering Building, Room 410 Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 2A7 kdudek at cim.mcgill.ca www.cim.mcgill.ca/create-mia -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Speaker: Lara Kanbar, Master student under the supervision of Dr R. Kearney PhD, BME, McGill University Since Lara is a Master student registered to the course BMDE500 who is giving this seminar as part of McGill conditions to obtain his M.Sc., special attendance from our department (staff and students) is really expected, in order to give Lara feedback on his research studies. Title : Comparison of Cardiorespiratory Behavior in Premature Infants under Different Post-Extubation Ventilatory Support Modalities Abstract: Preterm Very Low Birthweight (VLBW) infants typically have respiratory problems and require mechanical ventilation during their first few days of life. Mechanical ventilation (ETT-MV) maintains a fixed respiratory rate by providing breaths through an endotracheal tube. Prolonged mechanical ventilation harms neonatal development, and may cause airway trauma, inflammation and fibrosis. Therefore, babies are typically weaned from ETT-MV as soon as physicians deem the baby prepared to switch to noninvasive ventilator support. Two popular post-extubation support modalities are Constant Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV). Currently, there is no quantitative basis by which one support modality is chosen over another. Thus, this research has compared the two modalities in terms of their frequency of onset of apnea, bradycardia, and other quantitative measures of cardiorespiratory behavior.

Speaker: Lara Kanbar, Master student under the supervision of Dr R. Kearney PhD, BME, McGill University Since Lara is a Master student registered to the course BMDE500 who is giving this seminar as part of McGill conditions to obtain his M.Sc., special attendance from our department (staff and students) is really expected, in order to give Lara feedback on his research studies. Title : Comparison of Cardiorespiratory Behavior in Premature Infants under Different Post-Extubation Ventilatory Support Modalities Abstract: Preterm Very Low Birthweight (VLBW) infants typically have respiratory problems and require mechanical ventilation during their first few days of life. Mechanical ventilation (ETT-MV) maintains a fixed respiratory rate by providing breaths through an endotracheal tube. Prolonged mechanical ventilation harms neonatal development, and may cause airway trauma, inflammation and fibrosis. Therefore, babies are typically weaned from ETT-MV as soon as physicians deem the baby prepared to switch to noninvasive ventilator support. Two popular post-extubation support modalities are Constant Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV). Currently, there is no quantitative basis by which one support modality is chosen over another. Thus, this research has compared the two modalities in terms of their frequency of onset of apnea, bradycardia, and other quantitative measures of cardiorespiratory behavior.

Based on Hilary du Pr??s book ?A Genius in the Family?, the movie chronicles the rise to fame and physical decline of Jacqueline du Pr?. Jackie is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, which first manifests as dementia, and later results in complete paralysis. ?Hilary and Jackie? is an extraordinary film about riding the tiger of genius, and how that cuts through conventional rules and invests the rider with special license. Neuro host, Zografos 'Aki' Caramanos is a Research Assistant and PhD Student in Dr. Douglas Arnold's brain imaging lab at The Neuro where he makes use of magnetic resonance imaging data in order to better understand the relationship between neuropathology and disability in people living with multiple sclerosis. Hana Salaheddine, a multiple sclerosis patient will answer questions about the disease following the film. In addition, Zografos Caramanos will offer comments and invite discussion about the film. Discover Science at the movies on April 17, 6:30 pm at the Neuro Film Series! Neuro Movie Nights are free and snacks can be purchased (including wraps and popcorn)! All films take place at: The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, 3801 University Street, Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre.

Hilary and Jackie relate l?histoire tragique de la c?l?bre violoncelliste classique Jacqueline du Pr?, du point de vue de sa s?ur, la fl?tiste Hilary du Pr?-Finz. Inspir? du livre d?Hilary du Pr?, A Genius in the Family (Un g?nie dans la famille), le film d?crit l?ascension fulgurante et le d?clin physique de Jacqueline du Pr?. Apr?s avoir re?u un diagnostic de scl?rose en plaques, qui se manifeste d?abord comme de la d?mence, Jackie souffrira plus tard de paralysie totale. Hilary and Jackie est un film extraordinaire sur ce que signifie se laisser porter par le g?nie et de quelle fa?on cela passe outre aux r?gles courantes et conf?re des licences sp?ciales. L?animateur de la pr?sentation est Zografos ? Aki ? Caramanos, adjoint ? la recherche et ?tudiant au doctorat au laboratoire d?imagerie c?r?brale du Dr Douglas Arnold au Neuro. Il a recours ? des donn?es d?imagerie par r?sonance magn?tique pour mieux comprendre la relation entre la neuropathologie et l?incapacit? chez les personnes atteintes de scl?rose en plaques. Hana Salaheddine, qui souffre de cette maladie, r?pondra aux questions apr?s le film. De plus, Zografos Caramanos formulera des commentaires et animera la discussion au sujet du film. D?couvrez la science par le septi?me art le 17 avril ? 18 h 30 dans le cadre des Soir?es cin?ma du Neuro! L?entr?e aux Soir?es cin?ma du Neuro est gratuite.
