Join us for an overview of how today?s MATLAB can ease these challenges, with specific tools for machine learning, parallel computing, research collaborations, and more. We will also take a deeper dive into how MATLAB tools can be used to scale your applications with parallel and distributed computing and to tackle problems with Big Data. A more detailed program will follow shortly. Speakers: ? Jerry Brusher, Education Technical Marketing ? Vijay Iyer, Neuroscience Community Liaison ? Sergio Obando, Application Engineer Registration to the event is free but mandatory: https://www.mcgill.ca/bic/matlab-neuroscience-workshop We will also feature a demo of plot.ly, a fast-growing startup company founded by McGill alumni: The specific strengths of plotly are in (1) making visual data exploration and analysis more open and collaborative, and (2) making it easy to publish dynamic figures online and for use in print publications.

I am writing this evening to share some great news: Courtesy of the Masters of Management in Finance Program within the Desautels Faculty of Management, all McGill faculty, staff, and students have access to Complimentary Online MATLAB Training from now until March 31, 2018. All online courses are self-paced, interactive, and accessible through a browser. MATLAB is embedded in the course environment, enabling users to complete practice exercises and get instant feedback. Courses are modular, so faculty and students can pick and choose among topics of interest. How to Enroll: Simply visit the MATLAB Training for McGill University site and click the green ?Get started? button. Faculty at many universities are using these courses to supplement classroom instruction. Students can learn MATLAB on their own time, thus freeing up valuable class meetings for domain-specific discussions and applications. In addition, students can print progress reports and certificates of completion to share with their instructors. Available Courses: MATLAB Onramp: Our introductory course makes a perfect homework or lab assignment ? with no grading required! Taking less than 2 hours to complete, the Onramp course enables users to gain basic MATLAB skills and to become comfortable in the MATLAB environment. Core MATLAB functionality and special topics are covered in the following courses (see descriptions below): * MATLAB Fundamentals * MATLAB Programming Techniques * MATLAB for Data Processing and Visualization * Machine Learning with MATLAB * MATLAB for Financial Applications MATLAB Fundamentals ?This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the MATLAB? technical computing environment. No prior programming experience or knowledge of MATLAB is assumed. Themes of data analysis, visualization, modeling, and programming are explored throughout the course.? MATLAB Programming Techniques ?This course provides hands-on experience using the features in the MATLAB? language to writeefficient, robust, and well-organized code. These concepts form the foundation for writing full applications, developing algorithms, and extending built-in MATLAB capabilities. Details of performance optimization, as well as tools for writing, debugging, and profiling code are covered.? Machine Learning with MATLAB ?This course shows how to use unsupervised learning techniques to discover features in large data sets and supervised learning techniques to build predictive models.? MATLAB for Data Processing and Visualization ?This course focuses on the details of data management and visualization techniques, from reading arbitrarily formatted text data files to producing customized publication-quality graphics. The course emphasizes how to create scripts that extend the basic features provided by MATLAB?.? MATLAB for Financial Applications ?This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the MATLAB? technical computing environment for financial professionals. The course is intended for beginning users and those looking for a review. Themes of data analysis, visualization, modeling, and programming are explored throughout the course, with an emphasis on practical application to finance, such as time-series analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, portfolio management, and analysis.? Please share the link with your colleagues and students within the McGill community so that all can take advantage of the courses. Please let me know if you have any questions.

We anticipate delivery of the 22 tonne 7T magnet next July, which will allow completion of the MRI suite construction for the fall of 2018. This represents a key milestone in a project that has been evolving since the design phase of the MNI's North Wing prior to 2010, and which has been made possible by Dr. Amir Shmuel?s coordination of the 2014 CFI application. I would like to thank the many people and groups who have worked very hard in getting us to this point, including McGill Purchasing, McGill VP-RI, Facilities, and the Tender Panel (who also comprise the 7T Scientific Steering Committee). The support of Guy Rouleau and Julien Doyon during the final stages of this major purchase has been particularly appreciated, as well as the efforts and 7T expertise of David Rudko and Christine Tardif (recent new faculty hires in the BIC MRI Group). This project represents an investment of over $15M by the CFI and Government of Quebec, augmented by cash allocations from MNI and McGill as well as substantial in-kind contributions generously provided by Siemens. I really feel that our success in obtaining such generous government funding and industry support is due, in a very large part, to the outstanding performance and reputation of the neuroimaging research community affiliated with the BIC and MNI (not to mention the depth of MRI expertise present throughout Quebec). I thus thank you all for your patience and support during this challenging project, and hope this news will be helpful to the many investigators planning their next cycle of grants.

This project represents an investment of over $15M by the CFI and Government of Quebec, augmented by cash allocations from MNI and McGill as well as substantial in-kind contributions generously provided by Siemens. I really feel that our success in obtaining such generous government funding and industry support is due, in a very large part, to the outstanding performance and reputation of the neuroimaging research community affiliated with the BIC and MNI (not to mention the depth of MRI expertise present throughout Quebec). I thus thank you all for your patience and support during this challenging project, and hope this news will be helpful to the many investigators planning their next cycle of grants. We will provide further updates as the situation develops, and I will arrange a presentation this fall to discuss the timeline, planning, and anticipated opportunities in more detail.

OMEGA (Open MEG Archive) is a fast-growing, free and open data-sharing resource for MEG. It contains resting-state MEG, various questionnaires and T1 MRI data. This release adds 82 participants to the repository. In total, OMEGA now contains data from 184 participants, with 255 resting-state MEG records: 150 are healthy controls, 34 are patient volunteers (ADHD, chronic pain, other - please see OMEGA_subject_README.csv in repository). Detailed updates are in CHANGELOG.txt of the repository. Access is free: we only collect basic user demographics, to report usage to our funding sources. OMEGA has registered 300 international users so far. Data can be easily retrieved via a dropbox-like web portal. https://www.mcgill.ca/bic/omega-registration If you would like to be associated with the project and contribute data, please contact me.

This year's OHBM meeting in Vancouver was very well attended by students, post-docs, and researchers working in Montreal. But, as is too often the case, despite working in the same city, we had to go to a conference to meet each other and, given the hustle and bustle of OHBM, there seem many encounters and discussions yet to be had. So, on October the 16th, bring your poster and any updates and plans you'd you like to discuss (eyeing Singapore, are you?) and meet your fellow brain mappers at the Centre de Recherche de l'Institut universitaire de G?riatrie de Montr?al (CRIUGM) for an afternoon of poster sessions, oral presentations, and a few short and engaging talks from leading researchers with insight into current and future trends at the OHBM. This event, hosted by the CRIUGM and the McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience, is free but please register by following this http://criugm.qc.ca/postohbm2017/. Feel free to share the information. See you soon! -- Pierre-Olivier Quirion Ph.D. CRIUGM - SIMEXP, UNF & NeuroPoly labs pioliqui at gmail.com 514-998-6376 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
