If not, there could be a lot of surprises as of February 6th as it seems that existing booking that were made on the Outlook calendar will be voided. For example, there is already at least one double-booking that I can see: see below regarding Fri-Feb-10 at 3:00 pm for NW-125. So, from now, for bookings in NW-123 and/or NW-125: 1: Go to https://neuromedia.mcgill.ca/mnibooking/day.php?area=9, 2: Make sure that the desired date/time/room is available, 3: Fill out the form 4: Check back on the Website in a day or two to make sure that your reservation has been added to the schedule by Neuro Media Services.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: on behalf of Jennifer Elam We are pleased to announce the 2017 HCP Course: "Exploring the Human Connectome", to be held June 19 - 23, 2017 at the University of British Columbia (UBC), in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This is the week before the Organization of Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) annual meeting to be held in downtown Vancouver (about 8 miles away from UBC) June 25-29. This 5-day intensive course will provide training in acquisition, processing, analysis and visualization of whole brain imaging and behavioral data using methods and informatics tools developed by the WU-Minn-Oxford Human Connectome Project (HCP) consortium. The course is designed for investigators who are interested in: * using data collected and distributed from the HCP young adult study * acquiring and analyzing HCP-style imaging and behavioral data at your own institution * processing your own non-HCP data using HCP pipelines and methods * using Connectome Workbench tools and sharing data using the BALSA imaging database * learning HCP multimodal neuroimaging analysis methods, including those that combine MEG and MRI data * exploring the HCP MMP 1.0 multimodal parcellation brain map and learning about how it can be used in your analyses * positioning yourself to capitalize on HCP-style data being distributed by the Connectome Coordinating Facility (CCF) from forthcoming large-scale projects (e.g., Lifespan HCP development and aging and Connectomes Related to Human Disease projects) Participants will learn how to acquire, analyze, visualize, and interpret data from four major MR modalities (structural MR, resting-state fMRI, diffusion imaging, task-evoked fMRI) plus magnetoencephalography (MEG) and extensive behavioral data. Lectures and labs will provide grounding in neurobiological as well as methodological issues involved in interpreting multimodal data, and will span the range from single-voxel/vertex to brain network analysis approaches. The course is open to students, postdocs, faculty, and industry participants. The course is aimed at both new and current users of HCP data, methods, and tools, and will cover both basic and advanced topics. Prior experience in human neuroimaging or in computational analysis of brain networks is desirable, preferably including some familiarity with FSL and Freesurfer software. For more info and to register visit the HCP Course 2017 website. If you have any questions, please contact us at: hcpcourse at humanconnectome.org We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver!

Stephan completed his PhD in Astrophysics (U de Bordeaux I, France) and later shifted his interest towards biomedical imaging research. He worked for 4 years with the MIRG group led by Dr. Anna Celler (U of British Columbia, Vancouver) on SPECT imaging, focusing on 3D and 4D image reconstruction techniques. In 2004, he joined the PET group led by Dr. Vesna Sossi at UBC, developing 12+ years of experience in PET imaging. He worked with several technologies of small-animal and human scanners, including the rather unique High-Resolution Research Tomograph (HRRT), and the CTI/Siemens microPET, both are instruments in the BIC's portfolio. Stephan has tremendous expertise in PET/SPECT data acquisition, image processing and analysis, also in hardware. We'll be sharing his expertise with our friends and colleagues at Concordia PERFORM. For any related question or inquiry please contact him directly [stephan.blinder at mcgill.ca]. Again, please join me in wishing Stephan a warm welcome at the BIC! Sylvain.

Participants ranged from undergraduates to PIs, from the MNI, McGill, Concordia, ?cole Polytechnique, and U of Toronto. Both workshop sessions were livestreamed via YouTube to an audience of 30 people, with most online attendees from U Laval. Videos will be available shortly on the BIC's Vimeo channel we're currently setting up. Sessions featured theoretical foundations and practical hands-on using Google?s TensorFlow, including convolutional and fully convolutional networks. As Montreal is becoming a major hub for machine learning, the organizers saw an opportunity to share knowledge with other researchers and to start building a community with a passion for deep learning. A big thank-you again to the organizers! If anyone wants to organize another training event of general interest to the broad BIC community, please contact me with a short description (learning aims, draft contents and budget - 1 page max) and the BIC will be happy to provide support. Looking forward to more community events and learning opportunities, together. Sylvain.

Our goal is to make it easier for everyone to access the BIC?s imaging platforms, and store, curate and analyze your data securely and economically. Benefit now from low rates for BIC data and computing services The rates for computing and data-storage services have been considerably reduced. The basic rate for mirrored storage is now 20$ per 100GB per year; and unmirrored storage is 10$ per 100GB per year. Start with any size and scale up to dozens of terabytes, as needed for your lab. We have obtained support to invest in a new 500-TB high-end data server. We have also obtained a Compute-Canada Research Platform & Portal Grant for 1PB of cloud storage. In addition, the price for configuration and maintenance of a BIC NeuroImaging Workstation has dropped to $200/year. Service includes expert consulting for workstation or data server specification, purchase, installation and maintenance (Linux). All workstation installations comprise a series of specialized software applications for neuroimaging research (MINC, SPM, FSL, AFNI, Brainstorm, etc.). Installation of additional software packages can be accommodated upon request. Please consult this page f or a ll det ai ls . Depending on your needs, we?ll find the best solution for you and your lab: please contact us to make this happen (data at bic.mni.mcgill.ca). To submit a request for storage allocation and upgrades, please fill out our quick Data Request Form (FOAPAL or PO number required): https://www.mcgill.ca/bic/data-storage-application-form New data management and cooperation tools: box.BIC and forum.BIC box.BIC is a dropbox-like solution for the BIC and larger MNI community. This tool makes sharing and archiving files among members of a lab, or any group of users (including external collaborators), very easy. It is already being used by several BIC labs to share data internally, and distribute/collect data to/from external collaborators. Because this tool is hosted internally, the transfer rates are extremely fast, the security of data is guaranteed, and it can seamlessly scale from megabytes to terabytes as needed. You can access box.BIC now with your McGill email and password at box.bic.mni.mcgill.ca. Each lab will be provided a private section with the data capacity limited by your existing storage allocation. forum.BIC is an online forum for BIC and MNI users that is a central communications hub for questions, discussions, announcements, reference materials, reviews, and other topics. Each lab has a section for private communications, and you can request new private spaces to be created for any group, e.g., an event committee or reading group. Because important information gets buried in countless email threads, forum.BIC provides a dedicated hub to centralize, archive and curate the most important conversations for our busy community. You can log in now *to forum.BIC* with your McGill email and password at: forum.bic.mni.mcgill.ca. The first time you log in, a prompt will ask you to ?create new account?; please click this button. forum.BIC and box.BIC both use SSL encryption, so all communications are protected. Ted Strauss, BIC?s Manager for Data Resources, is offering demos or short workshops for these tools to any lab or individual. Contact him at ted.strauss at mcgill.ca to set up a meeting. Our team is working hard to provide the best research services at the most affordable rates, for everyone. Thanks for your support.

Name: ATT00001.txt URL: From rick.hoge at mcgill.ca Tue Feb 28 07:20:25 2017 From: rick.hoge at mcgill.ca (Rick Hoge) Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 07:20:25 -0500 Subject: [BIC-announce] 3T MRI Upgrade Message-ID: Dear all, The 3T was ramped down last Friday, and we will be proceeding with the system upgrade over the coming weeks. We remain on track to place the system back into service by Monday, April 10. The area surrounding the exterior quench pipes (venting into Molson Stadium) will be temporarily secured with steel construction fencing and warning signage posted. The latter measures will allow Siemens to re-activate the magnet immediately when the upgrade is completed, which will be followed by two weeks of commissioning and training (ending April 10). McGill facilities expects to complete permanent upgrades to the exterior quench plumbing by the end of April - it will be necessary to briefly ramp down both the 1.5T and 3T scanners for completion of this work. I would like to thank our users for their patience during this process, and look forward to offering the new capabilities of the Prisma this spring. Sincerely, Rick --- Rick Hoge, Ph.D. Program Director for MRI 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
