However, due to the low signal to noise ratio of the measure of the blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) contrast, and because there is no task period to use as a regressor, resting-state data has to be processed and interpreted differently than the typical functional MRI signal. The BOLD signal needs to be filtered and cleaned using various confound regressions so that statistical maps that robustly quantify correlations between the activity in brain regions can be computed. To streamline these processes, the CRBLM has created a seed-based resting-state analysis pipeline that automatically performs all the necessary computations to analyze resting-state data. This pipeline can be used on any number of subjects, sessions and conditions. It also permits the user to verify the results computed at each step. It can be used to compute functional connectivity maps at the single subject level and also to study changes in functional connectivity between groups. The pipeline, written by Thomas Gisiger, is a bash script that can run on any Mac or LINUX station where FSL (free fMRI analysis software) and Matlab (equipped with the signal-processing toolbox) are installed. Only minimal knowledge of FSL, and none of Matlab, is required to use it. The software, and initial technical support, is available to our members upon request. For those interested in running their own resting-state analysis, CRBLM will present a 90 minute theoretical workshop that illustrates how to install the pipeline on a Mac station, what it does, and how to use it the for various types of analyses. I will also discuss the distinction between regression and correlation when computing functional connectivity, describe new pipeline features such as detecting and masking volumes with outlier motion, and also answer any questions about the pipeline's workings and how to use it.

Please mark it down or let me know if you cannot make it. Minutes of the last meeting can be found below. The agenda is as follows: Update on recruitment Update on CFREF Update on functional plan as it relates to cognitive neuroscience Cognition and circuits seminars Neuropsychology Day Thank you for your attention, Annie for Lesley From: Lesley K Fellows, Dr Sent: May-08-15 2:32 PM To: Lesley K Fellows, Dr > Cc: Annie Le Bire > Subject: staff meeting minutes, May 7 2015 MInutes, staff meeting of May 7, 2015. Present: Lesley, Marilyn, Michael, Robert, Brenda, Denise, Joelle, Gabriel, Annie, Jonathan (student rep) Regrets: Jelena, Viviane, Chris Meeting called to order at 2:04. Minutes of previous meeting approved as circulated. 1. Lesley provided an update on recruitment: a. Three clinician-scientists with cognitive neuroscience research interests were interviewed in the past few months. The search committee recommended pursuing the recruitment of Madeleine Sharp and Maiya Geddes. Chenjie Xia was also seen as of interest, but more junior in her post-doctoral training, so perhaps best to wait a year and reconsider. The recruitments are now in the hands of Dr Rouleau. b. We are currently in the midst of candidate visits for the basic science positions, with 2 candidates to visit in the week of May 19-21 who are mainly linked to cognitive neuroscience (Dayan, Gallivan), and several others (Misic, Margulies, Peyrache, Bernhardt) likely to have substantial overlap with the interests of our group. Lesley or Robert is attending the search committee meetings. She encouraged others to attend all talks, and to pass on any comments about any candidates directly to her. 2. Cog Neuro budget: This was fully spent in the past year. Items included basic operating support for the unit as a whole: paper, printer supplies, telephone lines etc, contribution to the Cognition and Circuits seminar series costs, contribution to Neuropsychology Day costs, prizes for the trainees at Neuropsychology Day. Lesley proposed to continue with this general allocation for next year, and also encouraged that these funds be used where small amounts might catalyze new research projects or development of collaborations. It was unanimously agreed that an off-site retreat was not a good use of these funds. There was discussion of the incoherence of the policies around basic items like telephone and internet connections. This has been pointed out to the MNI administration repeatedly, and will be taken up again. 3. Neuropsychology Day 2015: All felt this had gone very well. Student presentations were a highlight. Lesley needs to better plan for judging of the posters, but proposed to continue to offer prizes, funds permitting. The overall schedule for the day was endorsed as a good model for next year. It was agreed that closer attention needed to be paid to inviting guests from other Montreal universities and other MNI units to ensure that the day continues to be a chance to connect with old friends and new. The sit-down lunch was praised as delicious, but the sit-down part received mixed reviews, with some feeling that it limited interaction. 4. Cognition and Circuits Seminar series: Extensive discussion occured about the past year?s series. Lesley to take these under advisement, and discuss with Chris the best way forward. It was agreed that trainees should be involved with the organization, but that more faculty level leadership might help in encouraging attendance, ensuring that the sessions are chaired so that they start and end on time, etc. Most seemed to feel that is was worth continuing these in some form. 5. Student orientation: Fall welcome events were discussed. The conclusion was that there should be two events: one the traditional potluck with emphasis on socializing (Denise may have volunteered to coordinate this) and the other a more practically-oriented session to help senior students meet the incoming group, and build better cohesion at that level. This could occur with the IPN retreat; Lesley to coordinate with a small group of trainees to pilot this for the fall. Other business 6. Tri-council accounting policies: Annie reviewed the need to adhere strictly to current guidelines regarding expense reporting, etc. and circulated a summary of key points. McGill will be audited this year; adherence is especially critical starting now. PI?s should review these guidelines to students in each lab re: travel receipts, etc. 7. It was unanimously agreed that the new room 282, in which the meeting was held, was deficient in several respects: poorly ventilated, too much background noise (measured at ? 65 dB by Lesley with her iPhone), poorly set up for lecturing, inappropriately furnished. This led to a more general discussion of chairs? Lesley will circulate the name of the person who knows about discarded furniture at the RVH ? some of this is quite new and could be put to good use here. Meeting adjourned at 3:10.

David Faul, Head of PET/MR Research Collaborations at Siemens [cid:62C58FBF-5CB8-4599-BBDF-F8FA0ADBF421] The future of in vivo imaging is not only in new and improved scanner technology ? with constantly augmenting sensitivity, spatial and temporal resolution ? but also in our capacity, in health and disease, to target the largest choice of metabolic and physiological processes with the greatest specificity. In that respect, in vivo molecular imaging delivers the unique capability of observing fundamental biological phenomena in interaction with structure, tissue environment and organization, metabolism, physiology, and ultimately, behavior. New scanner technology now integrates MRI and PET instrumentation in the same gantry, to realize genuine isochronous data collection targetting anatomy, physiology, metabolism and the greatest variety of molecular processes in vivo. In vivo metabolic and molecular imaging is a unique bridge between molecular, cellular biology and biological systems, functions, health and behaviour. Ultimately, research in that area can serve precision medicine and enable targeted personalized therapy in cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and mental illness. This presentation will highlight existing and emerging aspects of integrated PET/MR imaging in brain, cardiac and cancer research. The discussion will be led by David Faul, Head of collaboration for PET/MR at Siemens and is open to everyone interested in learning more about this new tool and technology. Cheers, Sylvain.

We are very fortunate that David has agreed to assume these duties, given his extensive experience in high-field MRI of both human and animal models (gained during his doctoral work at the University of Western Ontario with Ravi Menon). I would also like to thank his post-doctoral Supervisor Dr. Sridar Narayanan for letting us ?borrow? David in this capacity. Our current goal is to restore the system to full function within the next six months. Please feel free to contact David directly at david.rudko at mcgill.ca for inquiries regarding small animal MRI at the BIC. With best regards, Rick --- Rick Hoge, Ph.D. Director, MRI Unit McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, Montreal Neurological Institute Associate Professor, Dept. of Neurology & Neurosurgery Associate Member, Dept. of Biomedical Engineering McGill University rick.hoge at mcgill.ca 514-398-1929 From zografos.caramanos at mcgill.ca Tue Jan 19 14:53:25 2016 From: zografos.caramanos at mcgill.ca (Zografos Caramanos, Mr) Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2016 19:53:25 +0000 Subject: [BIC-announce] =?utf-8?q?=5BReminder=5D__Special_BIC_Lecture_-_Si?= =?utf-8?q?multaneous_PET/MR_Imaging_-_Wed_Jan_20_=40_1=3A30pm_-_DeGrandpr?= =?utf-8?b?w6k=?= Message-ID: Special BIC Lecture - Wed Jan 20 @ 1:30pm - DeGrandpr?/MNI/3801 University "Simultaneous PET/MR Imaging for Brain, Cardiac and Cancer Research? David Faul, Head of PET/MR Research Collaborations at Siemens [cid:62C58FBF-5CB8-4599-BBDF-F8FA0ADBF421] The future of in vivo imaging is not only in new and improved scanner technology ? with constantly augmenting sensitivity, spatial and temporal resolution ? but also in our capacity, in health and disease, to target the largest choice of metabolic and physiological processes with the greatest specificity. In that respect, in vivo molecular imaging delivers the unique capability of observing fundamental biological phenomena in interaction with structure, tissue environment and organization, metabolism, physiology, and ultimately, behavior. New scanner technology now integrates MRI and PET instrumentation in the same gantry, to realize genuine isochronous data collection targetting anatomy, physiology, metabolism and the greatest variety of molecular processes in vivo. In vivo metabolic and molecular imaging is a unique bridge between molecular, cellular biology and biological systems, functions, health and behaviour. Ultimately, research in that area can serve precision medicine and enable targeted personalized therapy in cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and mental illness. This presentation will highlight existing and emerging aspects of integrated PET/MR imaging in brain, cardiac and cancer research. The discussion will be led by David Faul, Head of collaboration for PET/MR at Siemens and is open to everyone interested in learning more about this new tool and technology. Cheers, Sylvain.

The purpose of this email is to provide you with the details of the new process and to highlight the benefits for you - the purchaser. The New Process Implementation Date: February 1, 2016 You will see from the new process outlined below that the way you shop is not changing only the way you place your order and pay for it is changing and improving; keeping in mind that going through MMP sets in motion an efficient back office process for approval and payment that you already subscribe to. 1. Obtain a quotation (status quo): in-store (walk-in), by phone, by email 2. Place your order: create a requisition on MMP ? automatic BAVL (budget availability checking), approval by FFM/PI or their delegate and encumbrance on FOAPAL 3. Order Fulfilment: (status quo) order carried out or shipped ? as per current process 4. Payment: (status quo) invoice is paid through IDC by MCS -> encumbrance on FOAPAL is released and expense is charged ? funds are released to MCS ? no action required on the part of the purchaser Benefits of This New Process for Purchasing Goods from MCS Compliance & Best Practice v Approval of Fund Financial Manager/Principal Investigator (FFM/PI) or their Delegate prior to the fund being charged Customer Service v One repository location for all supporting documentation v Ease of tracking orders v Availability of reports and access to complete history of orders Efficiency v Cut back on time-consuming communications due to missing information, insufficient funds, invalid or terminated FOAPALs MMP Training / Support Online Help: Get yourself and your staff trained on MMP (if not already onboard) through https://www.mcgill.ca/procurement/mmp Hands on training: ?Get your Hands on MMP? is a hands on training session offered by Procurement Services.
