He has a strong passion for medical imaging technologies and computer vision in general. Being able to understand and utilize the content of an image has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the world. His main contribution is the development of the Spinal Cord Toolbox (SCT), a comprehensive and open-source software for analyzing MRI images of the spinal cord. SCT includes tools for automatically detecting and segmenting spinal cord structures and extracting multi-parametric MRI data from white matter pathways and gray matter sub regions. His research interests are the development of new analysis and processing methods for medical data, with a particular interest in MRI and neurosciences. Abstract: Over the last decade, the neuroimaging community has developed various tools for processing and analyzing MRI data of the spinal cord. Particularly, recent advances in MRI templates of the spinal cord allows unbiased multicentric studies of large groups of patients, by providing a common referential space. However, the coordinate systems used to build these templates and atlases are based on anatomical structure (a.k.a. the vertebral bodies) and do not appropriately represent the functions of the spinal cord, therefore leading to potential errors when analyzing functional MRI data or the spinal cord internal structure (gray/white matter). This study presents a novel approach for approximating the position of the spinal roots along the spinal cord, and introduces the premise of a new coordinate system for template-based analysis, based on the functional structure of the spinal cord.

Details follow... Montreal data visualization company Plotly is offering a free workshop on their "Dash" framework, for building beautiful web-based data-powered interfaces with Python. Name : Workshop on Plotly's "Dash" framework Date : Thursday, June 7th, 2018 TIme : 9h30-13h00 Venue : de Grandpr? Communications Centre, Montreal Neurological Institute, 3801 University Street, Montreal If you would like to attend, please fill in this registration form A*bout Dash by Plotly *- ( https://plot.ly/products/dash/) Dash is an open-source Python framework for building analytical web applications. No JavaScript required. Built on top of Plotly.js, React, and Flask, Dash ties modern UI elements like dropdowns, sliders, and graphs to your analytical Python code. During this workshop, we will take a look at possible uses and implementations of Dash and discuss the basics of creating a Dash app. We will implement best-practices for styling apps and take a deep-dive into applying callbacks and adding interactive elements. In addition, we will have a step-by-step tutorial on how to deploy applications on the On-Premise server. There will be plenty of time for questions and hands-on work, and all attendees are encouraged to bring their current projects and own datasets. *Prerequisites* The workshop will attend to (relatively) beginner level users. However, Dash is a python tool, and python terminal / command lines will be used throughout. Attendees should bring their laptop computers to work through examples and exercises, or to try to use Dash with their own projects and datasets. *About the instructor* Chelsea Douglas has been working at Plotly for 3 years on a variety of projects such as documentation, the python API, On-Premise solutions, and Dash. She joined the Plotly team after finishing a Masters in Music Technology at McGill University, researching timbre and emotion perception in the Music Perception and Cognition Lab.

"How 17th century physics enlightens today?s gamma synchronization debate? Peter De Weerd Department of Cognitive Neuroscience, Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, NLs; Maastricht Center of Systems Biology, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Maastricht University, NLs. Abstract Gamma oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain, and have been associated with important functions including binding and selective attention. The underlying theories have implicitly assumed that gamma oscillations are stable over time, thus forming the basis for synchronization as a tool for enabling neural communication among selected nodes in the brain1. Single-trial neurophysiological recordings in monkey V1 however show that gamma oscillations are highly variable in frequency and amplitude2. It has been argued that fast variations in gamma frequency in different brain sites prevent synchronization and thus preclude a contribution of gamma to neural communication3. We argue the opposite: When fast and dynamic variations in gamma frequency difference are observed between two recorded brain sites, this is an indication of synchronization and neural communication. In addition, we suggest that the brief and intermittent periods in which the gamma frequency difference is reduced and stabilized demonstrates the existence of a ?dynamic frequency matching? mechanism4 that antagonizes factors producing the frequency differences and variations among different brain sites. This idea is in line with how pendulum clocks interact when subtended from a wooden beam, as observed by Huygens, a Dutch physicist who lived in the 17th century. Remarkably, the mathematical equation that describes these interactions was highly predictive for the specific characteristics of gamma synchronization observed in monkey V15. We have shown how dynamic frequency matching may contribute to early vision operations in V1, and suggest it can increase our understanding of entrainment, selective attention and perceptual learning. If the dynamic frequency matching principle can be extended to other brain areas and frequency ranges, it may prove helpful for improving our understanding of a broad range of cognitive phenomena.

Message-ID: We publish today the efforts of our international consortium (Canada, France, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, UK, USA) to extend the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) to store, organise, process and share the multidimensional data volumes produced by MEG. As an extension to MRI-BIDS, MEG-BIDS also includes well-defined metadata to facilitate future data harmonisation and sharing efforts. We believe this paves the way to further integration of other techniques in electrophysiology. The paper is in open access and points at 200GB of MEG-BIDS sample datasets. All major open-source academic software can read MEG-BIDS, and soon will be capable of exporting MEG studies as MEG-BIDS volumes (Brainstorm, Fieldtrip, MNE-Python, SPM). http://www.nature.com/articles/sdata2018110 Best wishes to all, Sylvain. - Sylvain Baillet, PhD Professor, Montreal Neurological Institute McGill University > more -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

BIDS is emerging as a practical standard for data organization and dissemination that we have recently extended to MEG, with ongoing efforts towards the integration of multimodal electrophysiology data (https://www.nature.com/articles/sdata2018110) Since its first release in 2016, OMEGA has grown a community of >600 registered users, with 22 published journal articles in less than 2 years. Importantly, and thanks to BIDS, OMEGA can now readily be imported into major analytical (and free, open-source) software solutions, such as our own Brainstorm (https://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm ), but also SPM, FieldTrip, MNE-Python, etc (see attached) For free access via the box.BIC (thanks to Ted Strauss): https://www.mcgill.ca/bic/resources/omega On behalf of the MEG at McGill team (with special kudos to Beth Bock), Enjoy! Sylvain - Sylvain Baillet, PhD Professor, Montreal Neurological Institute McGill University > more OMEGA is: ? First open data repository fully dedicated to MEG ? Now stored as BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure) ? Directly readable by data-analysis software with Brainstorm ? Multimodal data from 220 participants, about 300 resting-state MEG records: 182 from healthy controls, 38 from patient volunteers (ADHD, chronic pain, etc.) ? Also features the anatomical T1-weighted MRI volumes of all participants ? We also provide anonymized demographic and questionnaire data ? Current focus is on resting-state, but task data can also be contributed ? OMEGA will continue to expand, with contributions from the scientific community.

The first one will be on Thursday, June 28th at 1 pm and the second one on July 5th at 1 pm (De Grandpre room). Here is his summary of the presentation: The CBRAIN Architecture This will be the first of a series of two or three presentations intended to describe CBRAIN's core architecture and internal features. The target audience are developers who are not already familiar with Ruby and Rails, and so the talk will start with about 15 slides on the Ruby language's particularities, then another 15 slides about Rails, and then finally we will dive into CBRAIN. Non-programmers are absolutely welcome to all parts of the presentation too, as most of the subjects discussed can be understood by anyone. See you next week.
