While there was some discussion of seeking a second 3T MRI and preserving the 3T Trio scanner indefinitely, it has been decided that we will not pursue this option at the present time. The plan is thus to upgrade the Siemens Trio 3T system to the Prisma configuration as soon as funding permits, while providing some time for researchers to plan for this transition. Upgrading the scanner would also necessitate upgrades to the room to comply with current standards. As this work may entail several weeks of downtime, we are considering a tentative start date of early August 2016 as this has generally been a quiet period for 3T usage. To help us plan effectively, I would ask that each PI using the 3T MRI provide a list of all their studies that are currently active or planned over the next eight months (i.e. those that could be affected by an August upgrade). For each study, please email the following information to Mike Ferreira (michael.ferreira at mcgill.ca) with me (Rick) in cc. Title of study and IRB number if available Name of PI Name of study coordinator Total number of MRI sessions planned in the study: number of sessions already performed number of sessions remaining MRI sequences used Any WIPs or C2P sequences used on the current system In the case of studies waiting for the Prisma upgrade, indicate any specific Prisma functionalities required Please indicate which of the following best describes the study timeline: study is already well under way, and could be finished by August 1, 2016 (can be completed on Trio) study is under way, but unlikely to be completed prior to August 1, 2016 (would contain a mixture of Trio and Prisma data) study is planned, and could be started after September 1, 2016 (will be conducted entirely on Prisma) Over the coming months, we would like to prioritize studies that have a reasonable chance of finishing prior to the upgrade. We also understand that this may not be possible for some projects, and in this case we would also prioritize scanning required by researchers to help ?counterbalance? cross-sectional studies against the change in scanner configuration (i.e. equalizing the numbers of patients and controls scanned under each configuration). For longitudinal studies, we will do our best to retain RF coils from the current system and secure functionally identical software for acquisition and reconstruction. We may also image a number of control subjects before and after the upgrade with a representative sampling of pulse sequences. This data would be made available to researchers to run through their own pipelines to help control for potential bias. Finally, it is hoped that an August upgrade date would not unduly delay studies that are waiting for the Prisma before commencing.

From 1993-2000 he was at Pharmacia as Director for structure based drug design and oncology R&D portfolio management. Between 2001 and 2003 he held senior positions at the Swedish Biotechs Actar and Biovitrum. In 2003 he joined the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) at the University of Oxford, as Chief Scientist. In 2007 he assumed the position as Managing Director for the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (Copenhagen). From end of 2011, we was VP Discovery Research at Karolinska Development. He then re-joined the SGC and is since mid-2014 Scientific Director for European Initiatives, leading an IMI consortium focused on target validation in inflammatory diseases. Abstract The number of first in class therapies has remained constant for decades, often less than 10 per year. For such new medicines for pioneer targets, the level of attrition in Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical studies remains the biggest hurdle. This is in large part due to the poor correlation of results from commonly used model systems compared to the the clinical realities. Thus, the use of disease models based on human samples is critical to increase our understanding of pathophysiology. However, securing regular access to well-annotated samples from patients is challenging to organize, raises ethical issues and requires new organizational models, involving academic and pharmaceutical industry researchers, clinicians and disease foundations. Within the SGC Open-Source Target Discovery Partnership, our aim is to define and validate under- explored protein targets by profiling high quality chemical and antibody probes in patient-cell derived assays in inflammation, oncology and CNS disorders, providing biomarker and phenotypic read-outs from test systems that more accurately mimic the disease itself.

Although I do think it is a good idea, we will most probably schedule such meeting later in the new academic year, as concrete elements and tools start to emerge at the MNI. Meanwhile, I encourage everyone to attend Guy Rouleau?s quarterly town hall meetings, where open-science questions take up a fair bit of the agenda and will continue to grow in importance. These are great opportunities to ask questions and share possible concerns, but also groundbreaking ideas to make this concept become a successful and enthralling experience to everyone.

In response to this, I have received a great deal of feedback and many questions. A major challenge is that some researchers will clearly be unable to complete studies prior to August 1, and are concerned about their ability to implement adequate controls for scanner platform in their study design by this date. Conversely, a number of researchers are delaying the start of new studies until after the upgrade, also in order to avoid mixing data from different scanner platforms, and are understandably concerned about delays to their research. In order to address these issues, I will hold a Town Hall meeting to discuss 3T planning on Friday May 20, from 12-2pm in the Grandpr? Communication Centre at the MNI. I will start with a 30 minute presentation outlining the advantages of the Prisma system, the potential impact of a Trio upgrade on data, and the constraints we face in terms of timing and funding. The remaining time will be reserved for questions and discussion. The objective will be to solicit input that will help to finalize a definitive plan and timeline by May 31.

See you there, rz >> ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Title:* Multimodal quantitative neuroimaging databases and methods: the Cuban Human Brain Mapping Project. *Presenter:* Dr. Pedro A. Valdes-Sosa "Director of the Joint China-Cuba Lab for Frontiers Research in Translational Neurotechnology, UESTC, Chengdu, China" and "Vice director for Research at the Cuban Neuroscience Center, Habana, Cuba." *Abstract:* This presentations reviews the contributions of the Cuban Neuroscience Center to the evolution of the statistical parametric mapping (SPM) of quantitative Multimodal Neuroimages (qMN), from its inception to more recent work. Attention is limited to methods that compare individual qMN to normative databases (n/qMN). This evolution is described in three successive stages: (a) the development of one variant of normative topographical quantitative EEG (n/qEEG-top) which carries out statistical comparison of individual EEG spectral topographies with regard to a normative database--as part of the now popular SPM of brain descriptive parameters; (b) the development of n/qEEG tomography (n/qEEG-TOM), which employs brain electrical tomography (BET) to calculate voxelwise SPM maps of source spectral features with respect to a norm; (c) the development of a more general n/qMN by substituting EEG parameters with other neuroimaging descriptive parameters to obtain SPM maps. The study also describes the creation of Cuban normative databases, starting with the Cuban EEG database obtained in the early 90s, and more recently, the Cuban Human Brain Mapping Project (CHBMP). This project has created a 240 subject database of the normal Cuban population, obtained from a population-based random sample, comprising clinical, neuropsychological, EEG, MRI and SPECT data for the same subjects. Examples of clinical studies using qMN are given and, more importantly, receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analyses of the different developments document a sustained effort to assess the clinical usefulness of the techniques. *Quick bio: *Professor Pedro Antonio Valdes-Sosa is the General Vice-Director for Research of the Cuban Neuroscience Center; of which he was the co-founder in 1990. Since 2013 he is also a Distinguished Professor of Neuroinformatics at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. In 2015 he was awarded the ?1000 talent foreign professorhip? of China, and was designated as the Director of the Joint China-Cuba Laboratory for Frontier Research in Translational Neurotechnology. He is a senior professor of the Higher Institute for Medical Sciences, full member of the Cuban Academy of Sciences, full member of the Latin American Academy of Sciences and ex officio Program Chair of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping. Dr. Valdes-Sosa studied medicine at the University of Havana and graduated in 1972. During his medical studies he was part of the team working developing ERP multivariate statistical software the first Cuban microcomputer (1970). He also got a B.Sc. in Mathematics in 1973. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1978. In 1979 he undertook his postdoctoral training on ?Neurometrics and Computational Techniques? and ?Biophysical Modeling of brain electrical activity? with Prof. E. Roy John at the Brain Research Lab of New York University USA. In 2011 Cuban National Science Degree Council granted him a Doctorate in Science as a Lifetime Achievement Award for his pioneering contribution to Quantitative, EEG and Neuroimaging. He is the author of the VARETA technique for EEG source imaging and other techniques for MRI, MEG, fMRI analysis. His papers (more than 180 with H index of 42) have appeared in many of the major electrophysiological and neuroimaging. In the Proceedings of the IEEE in 2015 he published one of his most recent paper ?Tensor Analysis and Fusion of Multimodal Brain Images?, which for the first time introduced that Granger causal analysis of brain networks as a tensor regression problem, thus allowing the atomic decomposition of brain networks. *Emails:* < pedro.valdes at neuroinformatics-collaboratory.org>. *Publications:* . *Webpages:* < http://www.neuroinformatics-collaboratory.org/>. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ideally we would like to receive this information by the end of the day tomorrow, in order to present the clearest possible picture in Friday?s meeting. I would also like to solicit feedback on your experience with past upgrades, especially at the BIC. In particular, I would appreciate it if each PI (or a delegate) could address the following questions: 1) Did you have MRI studies that spanned the previous upgrade of the BIC 3T in 2009? 2) Did that upgrade pose any difficulties in terms of pooling data for analysis? 3) Were you able to publish papers based on data acquired both before and after the upgrade? 4) Did the change in scanner platform impede the publication of data in any way? 5) Please let us know of any measures you took to control for the mixture of pre- and post-upgrade data, and indicate whether you felt these were effective. Please email the above information to Ilana Leppert (ilana.leppert at mcgill.ca ) with me in cc.
