Wilson The paradox of trying to fully understand the brain through the best tool we have available - the brain itself - is one that permeates every aspect of neuroscience and yet does nothing to stop us from trying. Instead, it challenges us to reach beyond the obvious and take inspiration from other disciplines in the hopes of making small steps towards an almost unfathomable scientific problem. Basic neuroscientific pursuits such as the study of brain microstructure (structures invisible to the naked eye) through histological methods result in images that have been appreciated for their raw aesthetic beauty since the late 19th century drawings of Ramon y Cajal. Such images are incredibly complex at the level of single cells, and require creative solutions to understand in relation to the brain as a whole. Contrary to this, modern neuroimaging techniques result in data that describe the brain at the macrostructural level (visible to the naked eye), but are difficult to make sense of due to their high dimensionality, often encompassing information about both time and space. With recent advances in the quality and resolution of such techniques, understanding the complexity of the resulting data is one of the biggest challenges in neuroscientific research. The development of unique and creative methods for mapping and visualizing such data has therefore become a vital aspect of neuroimaging science. By making use of abstract representations that reduce the dimensionality of the underlying data to highlight features of interest, such techniques often result in visualizations that carry their own unique aesthetic value and challenge the already blurry boundaries between science and art. This exhibition aims to foster the ongoing dialogue between neuroscience and the arts by bringing together works by artists and members of the neuroscientific community that capture the beauty of the human brain through both literal and metaphorical representations. The collection includes original works by artists and scientists as well as prints of selected submissions to The Neuro Bureau's Brain Art Competition, which has been held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping since 2011.

The system will be ramped down for 4-5 days in early May for extension of the quench pipes in Molson Stadium (exact dates to be announced). After the quench system work is completed there should be no further interruptions. Anticipating that each study protocol may require adaptation before resuming systematic data collection, we will allow up to two hours of scanning at the 'pilot' rate (half of normal cost) applicable to every study (taken to mean a specific IRB-approved protocol). This allowance will be available until the end of July, at which point the usual policies will take effect (pilot scanning rates only available for new protocols). Note that we are finalizing installation of multiband EPI and MP2RAGE sequences, and these may not be available until the middle of next week. The majority of 'standard' sequences are now functioning, but you should verify with MR team if you have particular needs. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the MR team if you have questions. I will be giving an information session on the upgrade this coming Tuesday (last Monday's talk was rescheduled due to a room conflict). I would like to thank the MR team and all of our users for their patience and efforts to work around our upgrade schedule, and invite everyone to explore the new capabilities of our 64-channel Prisma 3T.

This lecture is open to everyone as part of the BIC Lecture series. It is also the keynote event of the 4th edition of the MEG at McGill training week. A few seats are still available for the full day of lectures around Dr. Pantazis' talk on Monday (https://www.mcgill.ca/bic/training-events/training-programs/meg-comprehensive-training). "Spatiotemporal and representational dynamics of the ventral visual pathway revealed by MEG? Abstract: The human brain can rapidly and effortlessly recognize complex visual information within only a couple hundred milliseconds. To understand this remarkable behavior, we use MEG sensors to measure neuronal signals as the brain transforms low level visual information into semantic content. In this talk I will offer novel insights in the duration and sequencing of visual cognitive processes obtained through multivariate analysis methods and MEG/fMRI data fusion. I will 1) demonstrate a clear dissociation between feedforward and feedback early visual processes, with well-defined temporal signatures for both mechanisms; 2) determine a lower boundary in the visual hierarchy for memory-related neural signals; and 3) characterize the orientation selectivity of gamma induced responses and provide a principled approach to link gamma responses to the perceptual Gestalt. Dimitrios Pantazis, who joined the McGovern Institute at MIT in 2010, is the director of the Magnetoencephalography Laboratory within the Martinos Imaging Center at MIT. He was previously a research assistant professor at the University of Southern California from 2008-2010. His research focuses on the development of novel MEG methods to holistically capture spatiotemporal brain activation and the study of visual brain representations.

Would you be interested in mentoring a pair of students on a summer project related to your research? We proceed in the following way: * We cover the background in the first 3 weeks of June. * The students, in groups of two, visit their host institution from late June to mid-August, to work on specific projects. * We continue to have meetings at Dawson twice a week in July and August, where each team presents to the whole group their latest progress. * The Internship ends with formal oral presentations from each team and a week-long poster session. Most of our students come from the Science Program, but we should have some psychology students and hopefully students from technical programs as well for the summer 2017 internship. In our previous two years, we found that image preprocessing/analysis or modifying an existing Matlab program made for very good projects, and we are open to any good suggestions. We will be happy to answer any of your questions. With our best greetings, Sylvia Cox for the Dawson Brain Imaging Group.

It is organized by the Institute of Geophysics & Meteorology, UoC, the Institute of Clinical Neuroscience and Psychology, Heinrich-Heine University D?sseldorf and the Department of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Research Center Juelich. -------------------------------------------------------------- *Abstract* Complex systems such as the human brain, Earth?s climate and economy are characterized by a multitude of coupled processes on different spatial and temporal scales. In order to better understand the dynamics of the system at hand each scientific area has developed specific tools to identify, model and quantify these processes. The conference Coupling and Causality in Complex Systems (C3S) will present a collection of these approaches with the aim to provide scientists with new analysis strategies for their field. The conference focuses on how to characterize a complex system and on the methods for estimating and modeling of statistical coupling (e.g. network coherence, creation and modulation of small networks and local or long-range synchronization by cross frequency phase-phase and phase-amplitude coupling) and causality (e.g. Granger causality, transfer entropy). Therefore, data analysts from different study fields including neuroscience, mathematics, physics, biology, and economy will present their approaches with a particular focus on the methods they use. The aim of this conference is to foster discussions and the transdisciplinary exchange of advanced techniques, methods, and algorithms, thereby stimulating potential future collaborations. -------------------------------------------------- *Invited Speakers* Elissa Aminoff - Department of Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA J?rg Breitung - Macroeconomic Policy Institute, University of Cologne, Germany David Gross - Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Cologne, Germany Philip Holmes - Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering / Princeton Neuroscience Institute, Princeton, USA Ankit Khambhati - Department of Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania, USA Laura Marzetti - Department of Neuroscience, Universit? degli Studi "G. d'Annunzio" Chieti - Pescara Arkady Pikovsky - Institute of Physics and Astronomy, University Potsdam, Germany Michael Rosenblum - Institute of Physics and Astronomy, University Potsdam, Germany Jakob Runge - The Grantham Institute for Climate Change, Imperial College London -------------------------------------------------- *Preliminary Session Program* We will have different sessions with differing topics and each session will be opened by one of the invited speakers.

I am thankful to the MNI and the Webster Family Foundation for providing the matching funds that have been key to secure this funding. The PSG grant is to add capacity for data acquisition, management, analytics, dissemination, with an emphasis on open-access and sharing. It will also expand the capacity for all imaging modalities featured at the BIC, and create opportunities for training of staff, highly-qualified personnel and platform users, over the next 3 years. <20170321_110423.jpg> The first portion of the funds have already been invested in the complete overhaul and expansion of our data storage infrastructure (now 700TB onsite and 750TB in the cloud), the hiring of new key personnel for data management, some aspects of the recent 3T Prisma upgrade in addition to Rick Hoge?s successful CFI JELF, re-investment in small-animal MR imaging, key equipment upgrades for the cyclotron, purchase of MR compatible equipment for animal electrophysiology, among other goodies: these are all meant to benefit the entire BIC user community.
