Grova and Lina will be releasing "*BEst": Brain Entropy in space and time -* a Brainstorm plug-in offering new source localization approaches for EEG and MEG data, based on the framework of the *Maximum Entropy on the Mean (MEM) * This toolbox has been developed thanks to joint effort of two research teams: *- Dr. Lina's **LATIS Lab* (main students involved: Younes Zerouali and Karine Lacourse) *- Dr. Grovas' Multimodal functional Imaging Lab (*main students involved: Rasheda Chowdhury and Tanguy Hedrich) The toolbox features three source localization methods derived from the MEM framework, that can be applied to either EEG, MEG or fused EEG/MEG data. Each of these methods is associated with an article describing its implementation and validation: *cMEM: standard MEM with stable clustering* source localization in the time-domain sensitive to the *spatial extent* of distributed source. Estimating the spatial extent of the source is notably crucial when localizing epileptic discharges: MEG source localization of spatially extended generators of epileptic activity: comparing entropic and hierarchical bayesian approaches. Chowdhury RA, Lina JM, Kobayashi E, Grova C. PLoS One. 2013;8(2):e55969. *wMEM: wavelet based MEM* dedicated to perform source localization of *oscillatory patterns* in the time-frequency domain: Wavelet-based localization of oscillatory sources from magnetoencephalography data. Lina J, Chowdhury R, Lemay E, Kobayashi E, Grova C. IEEE Trans Biomed Eng. 2012 Mar 6. *rMEM*: ridge MEM dedicated to localize cortical sources exhibiting synchrony: Localization of synchronous cortical neural sources. Zerouali Y, Herry CL, Jemel B, Lina JM. IEEE Trans Biomed Eng. 2013 Mar;60(3):770-80. The *OMM from 1:00 to 2:00 pm* will consist in an overall presentation of this Brainstorm toolbox during which we will describe these three methods, their characteristics, their validation and few applications. This will be followed by a* Hands On session from 2:00 to 3:00 pm *during which you can run MEM approaches by yourselves on your laptop. If you are interested in attending this hands-on session please send ASAP an email to christophe.grova at mcgill.ca or Jean-Marc.Lina at etsmtl.ca Technical details regarding the organization of this session will be communicated to those who RSVP (installation procedure, test data to be uploaded). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Feindel Brain Imaging Lecture Series features informal lectures on brain imaging presented at the Neuro 's McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (*BIC*) by experts in the field. These lectures are named in honour of Dr. William Feindel (1918-2014), former Director of the Neuro (1972 -1984) and Founding Director of the BIC (1984?88). Dr. Feindel 's presence and contribution will be greatly missed at our weekly Brain Imaging Lectures , where he almost always asked the final, most-germane question of the day: one that usually bridged the clinical and research realms, and that brought together the past, the present, and the future of brain science. This semester, our Lecture Series is being held in conjunction with the BIC's new Open Methods Meetups (*OMM*) : a forum for discussing hands-on technical issues, brainstorming problem-solving for specific projects, and sharing personal tricks-of-the-trade. This will be a great venue for those associated with the BIC to transfer knowledge and to get to know one another. Cheers!

These lectures are named in honour of Dr. William Feindel (1918-2014), former Director of the Neuro (1972 -1984) and Founding Director of the BIC (1984?88). Dr. Feindel 's presence and contribution will be greatly missed at our weekly Brain Imaging Lectures , where he almost always asked the final, most-germane question of the day: one that usually bridged the clinical and research realms, and that brought together the past, the present, and the future of brain science. This semester, our Lecture Series is being held in conjunction with the BIC's new Open Methods Meetups (*OMM*) : a forum for discussing hands-on technical issues, brainstorming problem-solving for specific projects, and sharing personal tricks-of-the-trade. This will be a great venue for those associated with the BIC to transfer knowledge and to get to know one another. Cheers!

June 25th, at 1 pm Location: Room 333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt, 3775 University Street). Speaker: Prof. Mallar Chakravarty PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry , Douglas Hospital, McGill University Dr. Chakravarty is candidate for associate membership in Biomedical Engineering department, so attendance from our staff members and their students is highly encouraged. Title: "Computation Neuroanatomy: Methods and Applications" Abstract: Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide elegant snapshots of neuroanatomy. The structure and the shape of the entire brain and of specific substructures can be investigated using advanced computer algorithms. Recent findings suggest that the brain is a far more plastic organism than was previously believed. MRI image analysis techniques provide a flexible multi-featured methodology to probe the effects environment, experience, genetics, and disease may have on the brain. This talk will focus on how to better understand how these elements may effect neuroanatomical structure and shape and may enable a better understanding of brain function and dysfunction. Specifically, my talk will focus on a number of deformation-based strategies that rely on warping MRI to match a specific model or to create a minimally biased average.

These lectures are named in honour of Dr. William Feindel (1918-2014), former Director of the Neuro (1972 -1984) and Founding Director of the BIC (1984?88). Dr. Feindel 's presence and contribution will be greatly missed at our weekly Brain Imaging Lectures , where he almost always asked the final, most-germane question of the day: one that usually bridged the clinical and research realms, and that brought together the past, the present, and the future of brain science. This semester, our Lecture Series is being held in conjunction with the BIC's new Open Methods Meetups (*OMM*) : a forum for discussing hands-on technical issues, brainstorming problem-solving for specific projects, and sharing personal tricks-of-the-trade. This will be a great venue for those associated with the BIC to transfer knowledge and to get to know one another. Cheers!

For more information and registration, see http://www.mrn.org/education-outreach/courses-and-events/ Special topics include the unique issues that multiband EPI (i.e., whole brain subsecond EPI) brings to fMRI analyses ***Email Kent A. Kiehl kkiehl at unm.edu or fMRIcourse at mrn.org with any questions. We hope to see you there. Thanks for your time, and have a great day! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The course faculty include Drs. Kent A. Kiehl and Vince D. Calhoun from the Mind Research Network and the University of New Mexico, and Dr. Tor Wager from the University of Colorado, Boulder?s Department of Psychology and Neuroscience and Institute for Cognitive Science. The course is designed for fMRI researchers who range from beginning to intermediate skill levels. It will provide those who are just getting started with fMRI a comprehensive set of tools and software to get started with your own studies, and those who are more advanced will benefit from custom code and supplements to standard analyses developed by the instructors. We cover Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM8), independent component analyses (ICA) of fMRI data, mediation analysis of fMRI, and statistical nonparametric mapping (SnPM). We provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of experimental design, image acquisition, image preprocessing, and analysis using the general linear model and ICA. The course is unique in that it pairs interactive lectures with hands-on demonstrations and work-through sessions. Each student works on their own laptop. Software will be installed on each student's laptop during the beginning of the course, including Matlab (a trial version), SPM8, the Group ICA of fMRI Toolbox (GIFT), and related SPM toolboxes, including statistical nonparametric mapping (SnPM) and the multi-level mediation fMRI toolbox (M3). In addition, alongside the lectures, participants will be trained to analyze example fMRI data on their laptops using these tools. The course will be small and interactive, with many opportunities to work closely with the faculty. Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis; we apologize in advance if we cannot accommodate all who wish to attend, but we will admit as many people as possible given the interactive nature of the course. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
