From caramanos at gmail.com Sun Nov 2 01:33:19 2014 From: caramanos at gmail.com (Zografos 'Aki' CARAMANOS) Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2014 01:33:19 -0400 Subject: [BIC-announce] Fwd: November 2014: McBIC'd Again? In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello BIC! M(N)ovember is here and I was wondering if anyone in the BIC was interested in, once again, growing some whiskers for a cause! 29 more days to grow a 'stache and have some fun (and/or be laughed at). All while at the same time, having an everlasting impact on men's health by raising money and awareness regarding research and care related to testicular and prostate cancer, as well as issues regarding men's mental health. Since 2003 , Movember has gone from 30 moustachioed men from Melbourne Australia to over four million Mo-Bros and Mo-Sistas from all over the world who have raised well over half a billion dollars! [See here for a charming TED talk by one of the original Mo-Bros, moustache-farmer Adam Garone, about how Movember started and how far it has come.] Over the past two years, through the power of the moustache, the Movember-moustachio'd members of Team McBIC'd (see embarrassing photos at the current Team McBIC'd page ) have raised awareness as well as just over $3,500 to combat men's health challenges ($1,747 in 2012, and $1,774 in 2013). I am hoping that this year we can do even better! I have already set up my own personal "Mo Space ", which is very easy to do, and am hoping that some of you will do so as well. I have already set up a McBIC'd team page , which is just waiting for you to join. The rules are simple : basically, start clean shaven at the start of November and grow a moustache over the course of Movember. I am hoping to hear back from you soon, and meet up at the end of the month take a team picture to record our hirsute pursuit on November 30th after a month of upper-lip itch and attention. And, for the BIC ladies, please know that you can also get involved as a BIC Mo-Sista . Finally, I invite everyone who wants to be a part of this, moustachio'd or not, to make a donation to me , or to Team McBIC'd . Cheers! Mustachi-Aki ;-{) *From the FAQ :* *Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men?s health issues. Men grow a Mo (moustache) for 30 days to become walking, talking billboards, for our men?s health causes - specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and male mental health initiatives.Men who support Movember, called Mo-Bros, start by registering at Movember.com. Mo-Bros start Movember 1st clean shaven, then grow and groom their Mo for the rest of the month, raising money along the way. Women who support Movember, called Mo-Sistas, also start by registering at Movember.com. Mo-Sistas champion the Mo by supporting their Mo-Bros, organizing events, leading a team.* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

May 28 & 29, 2015 Montreal Bilingual Brain Initiative Symposium: Multiple Perspectives on Bilingualism and the Brain Montreal Neurological Institute On behalf of the Organizing Committee: Denise Klein, Shari Baum and Vince Gracco The bilingual brain is of great interest to the field of neuroscience as it offers a window into questions about how our brains are shaped by experience. This international symposium on bilingualism and the brain aims to address the neural underpinnings of bilingual brain organization and issues around brain development and plasticity. Thanks to the generosity of The Blema and Arnold Steinberg Family Foundation, Centre for Research on Brain Language and Music (CRBLM) and an FRQSC Team Grant, we will bring together experts from multiple domains of neuroscience to shed light on current views of how experience influences brain function and structure from the developing brain through to old age and how we might understand brain plasticity in health and in disease. In addition to local experts, we are pleased to feature international keynote speakers including Jubin Abutalebi (Italy), Jenny Crinion (UK), Narly Golestani (Switzerland), and Gigi Luk (USA).

By ~2 years of age, children can count the number of syllables in a word, and say whether two words rhyme. Remarkably, even 7.5-month-old infants can use prosodic rhythm (motifs of strong and weak syllables) to segment words from continuous speech. These are complex feats of speech engineering, requiring the child to de-construct the overt acoustic spectro-temporal structure of the speech signal in order to reveal the latent phonological building blocks of the English language - a nested hierarchy of prosodic stress patterns, syllables and onset-rime units. This ability to hack the acoustic signal for its structural components is particularly crucial for infants, who have to infer and build a phonological system from the ground up. I will present a simple computational model which simulates how infants might accomplish this remarkable feat by tapping into the "Acoustic-Emergent Phonology (AEP)" within the speech signal. AEP is an emergent property of the oscillatory architecture of the speech signal that provides a blueprint for phonological structure. I further suggest that this process of acoustic-phonological extraction is mediated neurally by multi-timescale rhythmic entrainment of neuronal oscillations in the auditory cortex. I will then address the possibility that poor rhythmic entrainment by the dyslexic brain results in faulty extraction of phonology from the speech signal, producing the classic phonological deficit that characterises dyslexia. Finally, I will discuss how rhythmically-rich language devices like Motherese and nursery rhymes act to enhance neural entrainment, which could be an important mechanism for language learning as well as for the establishment of interpersonal synchrony. http://www.crblm.ca/events/role_neural_rhythmic_entrainment_early_language_learning Host: Vincent Gracco -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, we now also know that a computer based on quantum mechanics could solve certain problems that are intractable on conventional computers. Interestingly, if this device could be made on a large scale it would have the same characteristics as Erwin Schr?dinger's famous 1935 hypothetical cat that could be both dead and alive at the same time. I will briefly relate how our group at NIST became involved in these topics through our experiments on atomic ions, but these only serve as examples of similar work being performed in many other laboratories around the world. -- NOTES: - Further information at: http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/seminars/PSC.html - For automatic subscription/unsubscription to this seminar list, visit: http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/seminars/sem_lists.html ----- End forwarded message ----- From kdudek at cim.mcgill.ca Thu Nov 6 11:43:14 2014 From: kdudek at cim.mcgill.ca (Krys Dudek) Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 11:43:14 -0500 Subject: [BIC-announce] CREATE-MIA Seminars: Tuesday, November 11 Message-ID: ????????????????????????????

Multi-Modal MRI-based Deep Brain Stimulator Neurosurgery Dr. Bruce Pike, University of Calgary Tuesday, November 11, 3:30pm McConnell Engineering, Room 437 ABSTRACT: The implantation of stimulators deep within the brain has become an important surgical approach to the treatment of movement disorders such as essential tremor and Parkinson's Disease. Planning and execution of this procedure relies upon image guided neurosurgical techniques that can be labour intensive. In this presentation I will present a computer-assisted trajectory planning system that was developed within the context of DBS image guided neurosurgery. The general system architecture will be reviewed and results of a retrospective analysis evaluation of the system will be presented.

PET, SPECT and MRI are powerful techniques for in vivo molecular imaging. The hybrid combination of PET (or SPECT) and MRI, enabling truly simultaneous acquisition, is expected to bridge the gap between molecular and systems diagnosis. By continuing the newly established and successful series of PET-MR/SPECT-MR Conference (2012-Elba Island- Italy, 2013 Julich-Germany, 2014-Kos, Greece) we are delighted to announce that in 2015 we return to Italy for the PSMR2015, the Fourth Conference on PET-MR and SPECT-MR, sponsored by Pisa University-INFN, the Technological Institute of Athens, Juelich Forschungszentrum, and the COST Action PET-MRI TD-1007. The conference is also technically sponsored by IEEE and ESMI. The conference is scheduled for May 17-20, 2015 at the Hotel Hermitage on "la Biodola" gulf , in the beautiful Elba island near Pisa (Italy). The conference will not only cover all the technological aspects of both sequential and simultaneous PET/MR and SPECT/MR systems and their clinical and preclinical applications, but also ample space will be given to dedicated systems, novel technologies and new tracers. The submission of abstracts is now open and it will be closing on February 15, 2015. There will be both invited and oral talks and poster contributions. The conference proceedings will be submitted for publication in a special issue of IEEE Transaction on Nuclear Science. All information can be found at the Conference website: http://psmr2015.df.unipi.it We would appreciate it if you download the attached flier and post it in you institution.

It's just over half way through Movember 2014 and it's time to make a difference. Men?s health is a cause I am passionate about but in order to make a difference I need your help. My commitment was to grow a moustache for the month of November and, in doing so, raise vital awareness and funds for prostate cancer , testicular cancer , and male mental health . I am asking you to help support my personal journey by making a donation. The size of which isn?t important, every little bit helps Movember to continue funding its world class programs . To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics: ? 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime ? Testicular cancer is the most common cance in men aged 15-29 years. ? 1 in 5 men in Canada will experience a mental health problem each year ? In 2011, a total of 3728 Canadians died by suicide and over three-quarters of these suicides were men *If you?d like to help change these statistics, please donate here: http://mobro.co/caramanos * *There are just two weeks left, so please donate soon if you can* ... even a small amount can help make a difference if lots of us get involved. So far, almost $34,000,000 has been raised world-wide, with the second largest amount coming from right here in Canada (http://ca.movember .com/leaderboards/). Since 2003, it's gone from 30 moustachioed men from Melbourne Australia to over a million Mo-Bros and Mo-Sistas from all over the world who have raised over 600 million dollars [See here for a charming TED talk by one of the original Mo-Bros, moustache-farmer Adam Garone, about how Movember started and how far it has come.] If you are interested, the Movember website is an excellent resource for information on men's health issues and the programs that the money we are helping to raise goes to fund. Finally, see here for a touching TED talk by young comedian Kevin Breel about what it is like to suffer from depression. Thank you in advance for supporting our efforts to change the face of men's health, and please spread the word. ;-{ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Movember Date: Sun, Nov 16, 2014 at 5:17 PM Subject: If you only do one thing this week To: caramanos at gmail.com Forward this email to 10 friends and ask them to support your Movember efforts.

She applied her approach for the analysis of fMRI data. The brownbag will be in STBIO W7/21 at 10:00 on Thursday. The title and abstract of her talk are given below. Title: A unified approach to functional principal component analysis and functional multiple-set canonical correlation Abstract: Functional principal component analysis and functional multiple-set canonical correlation analysis are data reduction techniques for functional data that are assumed to arise from an underlying smooth function varying over a continuum such as time or space. In the former, low-dimensional components are extracted from a single set of functional data such that they explain the most variance of the dataset, whereas in the latter, low-dimensional components are obtained from each of multiple functional datasets in such a way that the associations among the components are maximized across the different sets. In this paper, we propose a unified approach to functional principal component analysis and functional multiple-set canonical correlation analysis. The proposed approach subsumes the two techniques as special cases. Also importantly, it can seek for a compromise between the techniques in estimating low-dimensional components, maximizing the associations among the components obtained from each set of functional data and at the same time accounting for the variance of the data well. Technically, the proposed approach can be viewed as a functional extension of Hwang et al.?s (2013) approach to combining principal component analysis and multiple-set canonical correlation analysis into a single framework. We propose a single optimization function for the proposed approach, and develop an alternating regularized least squares algorithm to estimate parameters in combination with basis-function approximations to functions. We apply the proposed approach for the analysis of multiple-subject functional magnetic resonance imaging data to obtain low-dimensional components of blood-oxygen level dependent signal changes over time, which are highly correlated across the subjects as well as representative of the data. The extracted components are used to identify networks of neural activity that are commonly activated across the subjects while carrying out a working memory task. Ji Yeh Choi is a doctoral student in quantitative psychology at McGill.

LANGUAGES IN THE BRAIN Study has far-reaching implications for unconscious role of infant experiences on adult development An infant?s mother tongue creates neural patterns that the unconscious brain retains years later even if the child totally stops using the language, (as can happen in cases of international adoption) according to a new joint study by scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro and McGill University?s Department of Psychology. The study offers the first neural evidence that traces of the ?lost? language remain in the brain. ?The infant brain forms representations of language sounds, but we wanted to see whether the brain maintains these representations later in life even if the person is no longer exposed to the language,? says Lara Pierce, a doctoral candidate at McGill University and first author on the paper. Her work is jointly supervised by Dr. Denise Klein at The Neuro and Dr. Fred Genesee in the Department of Psychology. The article, ?Mapping the unconscious maintenance of a lost first language,? is in the November 17 edition of scientific journal PNAS. The Neuro conducted and analyzed functional MRI scans of 48 girls between nine and 17 years old who were recruited from the Montreal area through the Department of Psychology. One group was born and raised unilingual in a French-speaking family. The second group had Chinese-speaking children adopted as infants who later became unilingual French speaking with no conscious recollection of Chinese. The third group were fluently bilingual in Chinese and French. Scans were taken while the three groups listened to the same Chinese language sounds. ?It astounded us that the brain activation pattern of the adopted Chinese who ?lost? or totally discontinued the language matched the one for those who continued speaking Chinese since birth. The neural representations supporting this pattern could only have been acquired during the first months of life,? says Ms. Pierce. ?This pattern completely differed from the first group of unilingual French speakers.? The study suggests that early-acquired information is not only maintained in the brain, but unconsciously influences brain processing for years, perhaps for life - potentially indicating a special status for information acquired during optimal periods of development. This could counter arguments not only within the field of language acquisition, but across domains, that neural representations are overwritten or lost from the brain over time. The implications of this finding are far reaching, and open the door for questions relating both to the re-learning of an early acquired, but forgotten, language or skill, as well as the unconscious influence of early experiences on later developmental outcomes. The study was funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Fonds de recherche sur la soci?t? et la culture, the G.W. Stairs Foundation and the Centre for Research on Brain Language and Mind. About the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital The Neuro is an academic medical centre dedicated to neuroscience.

Salp?tri?re L'Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle ?pini?re (ICM) France Dr. Pierre-Fran?ois Pradat is an expert in motor neuron diseases (MNDs). He obtained his medical degree at the Sorbonne University-UPMC and a PhD at the same institution in 2001. During his thesis work supervised by Jacques Mallet, he demonstrated the therapeutic effect of delivery of neurotrophic factors by gene therapy in animal models of peripheral neuropathies and MNDs. He moved to the USA for his post-doctoral research at Harvard Medical School in R.H. Brown?s laboratory and conducted research on drug screening in in vitro models of ALS. He then returned to the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital where he has been practicing neurology for more than 10 years with special expertise in MNDs. He works with V. Meininger in the most important French ALS Center (cohort of 1000 ALS patients). Dr. Pradat?s research interests have focused on translational and clinical research in MNDs. His research contributed to better understand the role muscular abnormalities in ALS pathogenesis and to identify new targets. Following his findings on the role of Nogo-A overexpression in muscles of ALS patients, a large innovative therapeutic trial with monoclonal anti-Nogo-A antibodies was launched. Most recently, Dr. Pradat is the PI of a research program on muscle transcriptome in ALS and other MNDs (SMA and SBMA). His other expertise is neuroimaging and more specifically spinal cord imaging. He has received funding from the AFM (French Association for Myopathies) to develop an integrated and combined advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiological approach to investigate the participation of motor and non-motor systems in MNDs. Dr. Pradat has developed collaborations with several research groups to develop potential biomarkers that would be useful for early diagnosis, linkage to prognosis and therapeutic monitoring in MNDs. Dr. Pradat is also conducting clinical research to improve the management and the quality of life of patients with ALS. Dr. Pradat is an active member of the Scientific Council of the French Association for Research in ALS (ARSla) as vice-chairman and of the Institute for Research on Spinal Cord and Brain (IRME) and the Foundation for Brain Research (FRC). The research that he and his colleagues conducted has been published in Annals of Neurology, Neurology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Brain, Human Gene Therapy, Gene Therapy, Neuroimage and elsewhere. By March 2014 he (co)authored 96 peer-reviewed papers in international journals. *Dr. Pradat is a candidate for a faculty position in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hello again... Movember is almost over and this year mine was the sole moustache grown for Team McBIC'd (but with spiritual support from Samir Das). There are only a few more days to support this cause aimed at raising awareness and funds for men?s health issues. Men?s health is a cause I am passionate about but in order to make a difference I need your help. My commitment was to grow a moustache for the month of November and, in doing so, raise vital awareness and funds for prostate cancer , testicular cancer , and male mental health . I am asking you to help support my personal journey by making a donation. The size of which isn?t important, every little bit helps Movember to continue funding its world class programs . To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics: ? 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime ? Testicular cancer is the most common cance in men aged 15-29 years. ? 1 in 5 men in Canada will experience a mental health problem each year ? In 2011, a total of 3728 Canadians died by suicide and over three-quarters of these suicides were men *If you?d like to help change these statistics, please donate here: http://mobro.co/caramanos * Cheers! Aki PS - Sincere apologies to those in my contact list who might receive this multiple times. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Zografos 'Aki' CARAMANOS Date: Sun, Nov 2, 2014 at 1:33 AM Subject: Fwd: November 2014: McBIC'd Again? To: BIC Announcements Hello BIC! M(N)ovember is here and I was wondering if anyone in the BIC was interested in, once again, growing some whiskers for a cause! 29 more days to grow a 'stache and have some fun (and/or be laughed at). All while at the same time, having an everlasting impact on men's health by raising money and awareness regarding research and care related to testicular and prostate cancer, as well as issues regarding men's mental health. Since 2003 , Movember has gone from 30 moustachioed men from Melbourne Australia to over four million Mo-Bros and Mo-Sistas from all over the world who have raised well over half a billion dollars! [See here for a charming TED talk by one of the original Mo-Bros, moustache-farmer Adam Garone, about how Movember started and how far it has come.] Over the past two years, through the power of the moustache, the Movember-moustachio'd members of Team McBIC'd (see embarrassing photos at the current Team McBIC'd page ) have raised awareness as well as just over $3,500 to combat men's health challenges ($1,747 in 2012, and $1,774 in 2013). I am hoping that this year we can do even better! I have already set up my own personal "Mo Space ", which is very easy to do, and am hoping that some of you will do so as well. I have already set up a McBIC'd team page , which is just waiting for you to join. The rules are simple : basically, start clean shaven at the start of November and grow a moustache over the course of Movember. I am hoping to hear back from you soon, and meet up at the end of the month take a team picture to record our hirsute pursuit on November 30th after a month of upper-lip itch and attention. And, for the BIC ladies, please know that you can also get involved as a BIC Mo-Sista . Finally, I invite everyone who wants to be a part of this, moustachio'd or not, to make a donation to me , or to Team McBIC'd . Cheers! Mustachi-Aki ;-{) *From the FAQ :* *Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men?s health issues. Men grow a Mo (moustache) for 30 days to become walking, talking billboards, for our men?s health causes - specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and male mental health initiatives.Men who support Movember, called Mo-Bros, start by registering at Movember.com. Mo-Bros start Movember 1st clean shaven, then grow and groom their Mo for the rest of the month, raising money along the way. Women who support Movember, called Mo-Sistas, also start by registering at Movember.com. Mo-Sistas champion the Mo by supporting their Mo-Bros, organizing events, leading a team.* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
