He is psychiatrist and focuses his research on imaging of neurodevelopment and mental health. Dr. Milham is at the origin of several major brain imaging data sharing projects, including 1,000 Functional Connectomes Project and the International Neuroimaging Data-Sharing Initiative (INDI). These efforts have helped to bring major consortia to the community, including the ADHD-200, Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE), and Consortium for Reliability and Reproducibility (CoRR).

We expect this will take approximately six weeks, including maintenance of RF shielding and other peripheral work. The MRI staff is doing their best to maximize availability for researchers who need to complete studies on the current platform, and we also realize that some groups are delaying the start of new studies until after the upgrade. The January date remains the best reasonable compromise. We are working with the CIMA-Q group and UNF to collect human reference datasets with popular sequences, at multiple time points before and after the upgrade. The intent is that this data can be made available to assess potential biases under different analysis scenarios (these are likely to be small, but it will be important to characterize). In the new year, we will run presentations detailing the impact on data and capabilities of the new scanner. For groups absolutely needing access to a Siemens Trio system after January, the Douglas Hospital is likely to have theirs until at least summer 2017. The UNF is upgrading their 3T this month (it is already ramped down). If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me or any members of the MRI team.

Communications Centre ----------------------------------------------------------- Networks in the brain must rely on powerful mechanism for routing and prioritizing information processing. In a larger set of attention and memory studies we have investigated the notion that alpha oscillations (9 - 12 Hz) are inhibitory and serve to route the information flow: 'gating by inhibition'. The alpha band activity is under top-down control by areas in the dorsal attention network. As such the alpha band activity - previously believed to reflect a state of rest - serves an important role for shaping the functional architecture of the working brain. Gamma band activity (50 - 100 Hz) reflects feed-forward processing and is modulated by the alpha oscillations. Importantly, the gamma activity is coupled to the phase of the alpha oscillations. We have found support for this framework using MEG, DTI/MEG, TMS/MEG, fMRI/EEG and non-human primate data. In future work we will investigate how alpha oscillations provide a mechanism for prioritizing sensory information processing by means of phase-encoded representations.

Communications Centre, Montreal Neurological Institute [Therese Lennert] Therese Lennert McGill University, MNI, neurospeed lab Abstract: The integration of auditory and visual signals in the brain faces inevitable temporal variations due to differences in propagation speeds and processing latencies. Following brief exposures to audiovisual asynchrony, the brain uses a fast-acting recalibration mechanism to rapidly realign the signals. It has been proposed that coupled low- and high-frequency oscillations organize sensory signals in a sequential manner, whereby the high-frequency oscillation nested within the low-frequency cycle creates discrete 'slots' of processing. We provide evidence that coupled alpha and beta/gamma oscillations in auditory and visual cortex enable rapid temporal recalibration to audiovisual asynchrony. Remarkably, the cycle duration of the subject's high-frequency oscillation nested within alpha corresponds to the individual's temporal recalibration behavior. We also show that trial-to-trial adaptations to audiovisual asynchrony modulate the frequencies' preferred coupling phase, as well as ongoing prestimulus alpha activity and evoked responses. We propose that these oscillatory mechanisms implement rapid adjustments in processing speed that help realign temporally discrepant auditory and visual signals.

The main discussion will be on the NIMG Clinical editorial, which outlines its minimum guidelines for reporting statistics. The second paper describes a method that overcomes some of the limitations of cluster correction, including the potential for higher than expected false positives.

The study consists of 4 sessions and monetary compensation is $50 per session, so the total is $200. Experiments will involve recording the electrical activity of the arm muscles (EMG) during working with a robotic handle followed by an fMRI scan. The experiments are held at the Neuromuscular Control Lab located in the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education (Currie Gym building), McGill University (475 Pine avenue west, H2W 1S4). Each data collection session will normally take around 2:00-2:30 hours. Our experiments are entirely safe and carried out under ethics approval. Eligible subjects should be: 1- Right-handed, age 18-35 2- Have no arm fat 3- Have no prior experience or participation in a similar experiment (motor learning study) The experimental sessions can be done both in the morning and the afternoon. If you are interested or need more details, please email me at saeed.babadi at mail.mcgill.ca . Thanks, Saeed Babadi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Total down-time is difficult to predict, as there are a number of room and building upgrades required as well. The current worst-case estimate is for 6 weeks, but please understand that this may change due to unforeseen circumstances. I have received a number of queries regarding alternate Trio scanning sites and access to the 1.5T system. Natasha Rajah from Douglas has kindly indicated that they are prepared to help researchers who may need ongoing access to a Trio system (see below). The Douglas is also seeking to perform the Prisma upgrade, but it will likely be some months after our own. We will do our best to maximize access to the 1.5T during the upgrade period, but there is likely to be some 1.5T downtime as well (due to the space required for shipping crates, and the need to ramp down both systems for some of the quench work). I would also like to congratulate our friends at the UNF on their successful upgrade this month and thank them for sharing information and access to the site, which has helped greatly in our own planning.

I think it will be of broad interest to the neuroimaging groups, and I would appreciate if you could disseminate it to your list. Title: Motion Correction and Parameter Mapping in Brain Morphometry Studies. By: Andre van der Kouwe, Assistant Professor in Radiology at Harvard Medical School, Assistant in Physics at Massachusetts General Hospital In the last few years it has become evident that motion during MRI acquisitions can bias the results of research studies. In brain morphometry studies, structural changes such as cortical thinning can be explained by disease or by relatively increased motion during the acquisition of brain scans in the diseased population. Similarly, long range connectivity in functional and diffusion studies decreases if there is motion during the acquisition, possibly masquerading as a disease-related brain change. In this talk, navigator-based methods for real-time correction of head movement during structural scans will be presented. An efficient method for collecting parameter maps (spin density, T1 and T2) with a ten-minute protocol will also be presented. The protocol consists of a multi-echo multi-inversion time MPRAGE and a two flip angle FISP scan. Apart from the parameter maps, the protocol also yields the B0 field map, separate water and fat images, and rudimentary resting state functional data.
