In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: ANNOUNCEMENT - MAIN 2018 ________________________________________________________________ Dear everyone! - MAIN 2018 is now open for registration ! We are delighted to announce that registration for this year's edition of the Montreal AI & Neuroscience International Meeting (Dec 9-12th, 2018) is now open ! This year's meeting is being once again organized with the help of the Mathematics Research Center (CRM) at Universit? de Montr?al. MAIN 2018 will be a unique opportunity to hear about cutting-edge research at the crossroads between neuroscience and AI. What are the latest trends in applying machine learning to improve our understanding of the human brain? And how is state-of-the-art neuroscience helping us build more efficient artificial neural networks? MAIN 2018 will consist of 2 days of lectures by leading international scientisits (Dec 9-10th), followed by 2 days of hands-on training (Dec 11-12th).[Educational Day 1: dedicated to using Keras to train deep neural networks on neuroimaging and genetics data, Educational Day 2: applying machine learning to neuroimaging using Scikit Learn and nilearn] - (space is limited) ? Registration - IMPORTANT Last year, MAIN reached full capacity in less than 5 days, so we recommend you register as fast as you can to secure a seat this year (you have been warned). Note that registration for the lectures and for the educational workshop are separate. We have worked hard to keep registration fees as low as possible: 120$ for students and 180$ for postdocs, researchers and professionals; 50$ for the educational courses. ?? Register now Call for posters The deadline for abstract submission is 23/11/2018 (midnight- MTL time).

DEAP users are encouraged to select the Restricted Mode for examining the data without running the analyses, and to access the *Open Science Framework * template for registering the study. For more information about the ABCD Study click *here * . The ABCD Neurocognitive Prediction Challenge (ABCD-NPC 2019) invites researchers to submit their method for predicting fluid intelligence from t1-weighed MRI (11K subjects in total, age 9-10 years old). The data of about 4K individuals will be provided for training. The validity of each method will be assessed on its predicted fluid intelligence scores of the remaining 7K children, whose actual scores will be revealed after the challenge deadline. Downloading the data requires approval by the *NIMH Data Archive (NDA) *. An application form will need to be signed by the affiliated institution, so start the application process early. * December 15, 2018: Data Available for Download with Specific Submission Instructions* * January 15, 2019: Team Registration Deadline March 10, 2019: Submission Deadline* * October 13-19 2019: Meeting (in conjunction with MICCAI 2019, Shenzhen, China)* *For more information, please visit: http://sibis.sri.com/abcd-np-challenge ABCD-NPC 2019 Organizers, Wes Thompson, UCSD Kilian M.

You are invited to attend the *Ludmer Centre Workshop & QLS Seminar* *. *Brain research requires collaborations and transdisciplinary big-data approaches. *Come meet research colleagues, students and post-docs* to learn about interesting research, methods and tools, and what the Ludmer Centre can do for you. *Register here, via **EventBright* *:* *The event is free, but we need to know numbers to order lunch.* *November 27, 2018 ? 12:00 to 5:00* *Location: **Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre**, Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro), 3801 Rue Universit?, Montr?al, QC H3A 2B4 ? **Map* *Who Should Attend* ? *Ludmer Centre members*: All Ludmer Primary Investigators and their students, post-docs and staff are welcome to attend the workshop. ? *Students in the following partner programs:* o *Quantitative Life Sciences* (QLS) o *Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine* (CAMBAM) o *McGill initiative in Computational Medicine* (MiCM) o *Integrated Program in Neuroscience* (IPN) ? *Others are welcome.* *Guest Lecturers* ? *Dr Conor Liston MD, PhD: *Dr Liston?s research focuses on the interface between systems neuroscience and biological psychiatry in order to define the circuit mechanisms by which neurons in the prefrontal cortex contribute to cognitive and emotional processes and how they are disrupted in neuropsychiatric disease states. *Liston Lab* *,* Weill Cornell Medicine Feil Family Brain & Mind Research Institute, NY, US ? *Dr Shawn Brown: *Dr Brown is the *Associate Director for Research Software Development* for the *McGill Centre for Integrative Neuroscience* (MCIN) at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (the Neuro) and for the *Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives* analytic platform, *NeuroHub* , at McGill University. He is also the *Chief Software Architect* for the MCIN *CBRAIN* platform. *Read his bio* *.* *Program* *Time* *Activity* *Description* *12:00-13:00 * *QLS Research Seminar* Speaker:* Dr Conor Liston* Title: *Resting-state connectivity biomarkers define neuro-physiological subtypes of depression* Biomarkers have transformed modern medicine but remain largely elusive in psychiatry, partly because there is a weak correspondence between diagnostic labels and their neurobiological substrates. His research aims to define novel subtypes of depression that transcend current diagnostic boundaries and may be useful for identifying the individuals who are most likely to benefit from targeted neurostimulation therapies. Full Abstract *13:00-13:30* *Lunch* Served in Jeanne Timmins foyer *13:30-13:40* *Welcome & Update* Welcome and brief update on Ludmer Centre. *13:40-14:40* *Exploring Methods with Dr Conor Liston* Dr Liston will present some of his preferred methods and discuss their effectiveness for certain types of research. *14:40-14:55* *Coffee break* Jeanne Timmins foyer *14:55-15:55* *CBRAIN training, what?s new* Speaker: *Dr Shawn Brown* *The **CBRAIN* platform is a web-based software that allows neuroscientists to perform computationally intensive data analyses by connecting them to high-performance-computing facilities across Canada and around the world.

She is currently working as a research intern at Google DeepMind in Montreal. She earned her Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. Her research lies at the intersection of statistical machine learning and computational neuroscience. She is interested in developing models that relate human behavior to individual brain connectivity patterns using optimization and machine learning techniques. She has received a number of awards including the Young Scientist Award from the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention 2017 (MICCAI), and the best poster award from the BioImaging Sciences Retreat 2018. She is also the recipient of Tananbaum Fellowship, Advanced Graduate Leadership Program (AGLP) Fellowship, and CRA-Women Graduate Fellowship. Abstract: The goal of human brain mapping has long been to delineate functionally coherent regions in the brain and elucidate the functional role of these regions. Previous work has shown great success on defining functionally coherent regions at multiple scales, by grouping voxels into nodes and further grouping those nodes to form communities or networks in the brain. While majority of previous work has assumed fixed functional units across individuals and states, we show that the parcellation of human brain is both individual and state dependent. In this talk, I will first present a recently developed individualized and state-specific parcellation technique that utilizes submodular maximization of an exemplar-based utility function. Then, I will cover the predictive models that estimate biological and cognitive characteristics of individuals (including sex and IQ) as well as their brain's cognitive state (approximated by the task condition as well as the within-condition task performance), solely based on the features extracted from these individualized parcellations. I hope to see you there / En esp?rant vous voir nombreux.
