Bratislav trained in neuroscience and mathematics at the University of Toronto. He completed his PhD with Randy McIntosh (2014, University of Toronto) and his postdoctoral work with Olaf Sporns (2016, Indiana University). Bratislav investigates how global dynamics, cognitive operations and complex behaviour emerge from the connections and interactions among distributed brain areas, with an emphasis on the integrative properties of brain networks. His work lies at the intersection of network science, dynamical systems and multivariate statistics, with a focus on complex data sets involving multiple neuroimaging modalities, including MRI and MEG. At the BIC, Bratislav will continue to build a translational approach for studying network structure and function in clinical populations. Please join me in wishing the warmest welcome to Bratislav!

During her PhD at the Montreal Neurological Institute under the supervision of Prof. Bruce Pike, she investigated the quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signature of cortical multiple sclerosis pathology to improve detection in vivo. She then joined the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (Leipzig, Germany), working with the departments of Prof. Robert Turner and Prof. Arno Villringer, to develop a novel framework to study cortical myeloarchitecture in vivo using high-resolution MRI at ultra-high-field. Dr. Tardif is a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Mallar Chakravarty's laboratory at the Douglas Brain Imaging Centre since September 2015.

He completed his PhD in Physics with a specialization in ultra-high field MRI under the supervision of Dr. Ravi Menon at the University of Western Ontario. The overall focus of his research is the application of novel high field MRI methodology in conjunction with biophysical modeling to augment the current understanding of brain anatomy and physiology. One of his specific goals is to extend magnetic susceptibility and relaxometry-based MRI models of brain tissue microstructure to develop atlases applicable in neurological disease. He has applied MRI physics techniques to research in animal models and human neurological diseases at field strengths of 3 T, 7 T and 9.4 T. His current postdoctoral work centres on the quantification of cortical demyelination in MS patients using surface-based 3 T magnetization transfer imaging combined with ultra-high resolution 7 T structural imaging. *Dr. Rudko is a candidate for a faculty position. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Feindel Brain Imaging Lecture Series "Embracing Open Science: Best Practices for Responsible Data" Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 2:00 pm de Grandpr? Communications Centre, Montreal Neurological Institute [Adrian Thorogood] Adrian Thorogood Lawyer / Academic Associate at McGill University ABSTRACT: Genomic data sharing is imperative for accelerating discovery and translation of findings into clinical applications, but raises concerns about privacy protection and regulatory compliance. These concerns are heightened where data is shared internationally, as applicable laws vary considerably across countries. To ensure that genomic data is shared responsibly, best practices have emerged in areas of consent, privacy and security, and access oversight. The challenge ahead is to ensure these practices are harmonized internationally, or data will continue to be fragmented into regulatory silos. Accountability will also be key for maintaining trust in data sharing. What steps can we take to ensure data sharing standards are clearly communicated, monitored, and enforced? Adrian Thorogood BA, BSc, BCL, and LLB, is a lawyer and academic associate at the Centre of Genomics and Policy at McGill University. He is also the Coordinator of the Regulatory and Ethics Working Group of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health, an international consortium that promotes the responsible sharing of research data. adrian.thorogood at mcgill.ca). ________________________________ Feindel Brain Imaging Lecture Series: Winter/Spring-2016 Unless specified otherwise, lectures are held on Mondays at 1:00 pm in the de Grandpr?

The survey can be accessed at the following URL: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/96KNGSZ Many of you have heard of various initiatives including upgrades to the 3T, installation of a human 7T, re-activation of the animal MRI, and the decommissioning of the 1.5T. In order to maximize the benefit (and minimize disruption) to all involved, your participation in the survey will be extremely important. The survey has been designed so that both PIs and lab members can provide feedback. I would ask that each PI who uses MRI time either complete the survey personally, or delegate an individual such as a lab manager to complete on their behalf. Other lab members like trainees and research assistants are also very welcome to provide input, but we ask that respondents indicate whether they answer on behalf of their group/PI, or personally, in the first question. I initially wanted this to be very short, but given the importance of the MRI program and long time since the last formal survey, felt it was worth expanding to a total of 70 questions. Any question may be bypassed, so if you find the survey arduous then feel free to simply skip questions that are not relevant to you. However, the more information we can gather the better we will be able to serve your needs. I would like to thank the members of the MRI team for helping to draft this survey, and the user community for taking the time to provide input. I would also like to thank my Research Assistant, Santiago Paiva, who helped immensely in preparation of the web forms.

Date: March 1, 2016 at 5:02:00 PM GMT-5 To: "Sylvain Baillet, Dr" > Cc: "Francois Jean Tadel, Mr" >, "Elizabeth Anne Bock, Ms" > Hi Dr. Baillet, Thank you for the quick and positive reply. If the 16th is more convenient for you, I could do it then also. 10am on the 16th? The two products I would discuss and demonstrate are the FastSCAN 3D laser scanner, and the MicroSensor 1.8 which can be used with Fastrak or any of our other motion trackers and digitizers. Data sheets for each are attached. Although the FastSCAN was designed for 3D modeling applications (rapid prototyping, 3D printing, etc.), we believe it may be valuable for digitizing EEG and MEG probe locations. It would not only be very fast (and reduce digitizing errors), but would provide head and face geometry for increased accuracy of anatomical landmarks. The MicroSensor was originally designed to track the movement of a catheter inside a training manikin. But researchers are beginning to use it for motion measurement of fingers, hands and head for biomechanics and motor control experiments. I?m looking forward to learning more about Brainstorm. When we get calls about our digitizers we often get asked about software. The more I know the better! Cheers, Neil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is mostly due the development of efficient learning and inference algorithms which allow better and richer modeling of visual perception tasks. Hyper-Graph representations are among the most prominent tools to address such perception through the casting of perception as a graph optimization problem. In this talk, we briefly introduce the interest of such representations, discuss their strength and limitations, provide appropriate strategies for their inference learning and present their application to address a variety of problems of visual computing. BIOGRAPHY Nikos Paragios is professor of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science and director of the Center for Visual Computing of CentraleSupelec.

This symposium will be held on May 2-3, 2016 at the Universit? de Montr?al, Pavillon 3200 Jean-Brillant, room B-2245 and the organizers are Drs Paul Cisek (UdeM), Alain Dagher (McGill), Lesley Fellows (McGill), John Kalaska (UdeM) and Peter Shizgal (Concordia). Research on the neural bases of decision-making has experienced a rapid growth in the last 20 years. It addresses a great diversity of questions, ranging from how animals weigh the costs and benefits of different actions to what goes wrong when humans exhibit maladaptive behavior, such as in addiction. In this symposium, we will discuss cutting-edge research on this topic, reviewing the progress that has been made and addressing the central open questions facing this rapidly developing field. In planning the sessions, we have paid particular attention to issues that stretch from the most basic neuroscience all the way to clinical applications. We will highlight converging evidence from the full range of neuroscientific methods applied in this field, considered within a diversity of conceptual frameworks. There will be four sessions of presentations by invited speakers from around the world as well as two contributed poster sessions. The presentations are regrouped in for sessions: * Brain representations of value: Common or multiple (Chairperson: Peter Shizgal) * Encoding and learning values: Neural and computational mechanisms (Chairperson: Alain Dagher) * Decision in the wild (Chairperson: John Kalaska) * Diseases and deviances (Chairperson: Lesley Fellows) Lecturers: Joshua D. Berke, Thomas Boraud, Paul Cisek, Alain Dagher, Peter Dayan, Nathaniel Daw, Lesley Fellows, J. Randall Flanagan, Michael J. Frank, Karl Friston, Hugh Garavan, Paul W. Glimcher, Joseph Kable, Elizabeth A. Murray, Michael L. Platt, David Redish, Michael N. Shadlen, Peter Shizgal, Daphna Shohamy et Jonathan D. Wallis. Submissions are invited for poster presentations.

We have two exciting posts post-doctoral appointments available within Oxford's strong MR Physics Group at the FMRIB Centre, starting in July 2016. Our Development Support Scientist will be central to the translation of cutting-edge MRI physics techniques to basic and clinical neuroscience. The post-holder will implement and improve upon recent advances in MRI pulse sequences and image reconstruction; optimise scanning protocols for general use and specialist needs; and consolidate novel hardware capabilities for use in the neuroscience setting. The focus of this post will be on FMRIB's state-of-the-art 7-tesla Siemens MRI scanner, which incorporates parallel transmission and real-time shimming capabilities. There would also be opportunities to teach on FMRIB's Graduate Training Program in neuroimaging. For this post a higher grade may be available for applicants with significant relevant experience - please speak to us before applying. As part of the recently established UK7T network, we are also looking to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Assistant. In collaboration with colleagues at four other UK7T sites (Cambridge, Cardiff, Nottingham and Glasgow), you will establish sequences and protocols that are optimised for neuroimaging studies at 7T and can be replicated across the network. You will also help establish standards and mechanisms for data sharing, and develop protocols for maximum image homogeneity and minimum power deposition using parallel transmission. The posts would be suited to someone with a PhD in physics or engineering. The ideal candidate would have experience with sequence development on high-field scanners (ideally the Siemens platform) and be comfortable communicating to scientists from a range of backgrounds. You should demonstrate knowledge of image reconstruction for MRI and have programming experience in C++, Matlab and Unix scripting. You must be able to manage own academic research and associated activities. Expertise in neuroimaging, particularly functional or diffusion imaging or spectroscopy would be advantageous. For further information, please contact: stuart.clare at ndcn.ox.ac.uk. The closing date for applications is 12.00 midday on Monday 11th April 2016. Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter. Applications for this vacancy are to be made online.
