The outer zone of the restricted area is now controlled by a sliding glass door, which requires an authorized key fob to open. Additional metal doors within the suite provide further security. Please note that the area is also under video surveillance, both from within the 7T suite and at the MNI security desk. Recently the outer sliding door has been forced off its tracks, presumably by being pushed forcibly by someone seeking to gain access. Although there is signage on the door stating to push in case of emergency, under normal operations this door should never be touched. Opening the door is a two-step process: 1) an authorized key fob must be swiped; 2) the "open" sensor must be tapped. The door will not open unless both steps are performed. Prior to launch of the 7T human service in May, we will circulate detailed instructions on how research users may gain access to the facility.

Called simply Neuroimagers, the series will host hands-on workshops in the Grandpr?. In the Summer, a web-based learning system will be launched, offering video transcriptions and others trainings -both internally produced and curated from other centers- so learners can access training on-demand. This project is a collaboration between MCIN, the BIC, and the Ludmer Center, under the direction of J.B. Poline. We are always looking for teachers of technical content, and volunteers to join the organising committee; if interested, please contact ted.strauss at mcgill.ca. The first workshop in the series will be presented by Elizabeth DuPre, Ph.D. candidate in IPN. BIDS & the TIER protocol - Elizabeth DuPre April 26, 12-1pm, with optional lab time 1-2pm. Calendar link: https://mcgill.ca/bic/node/1967/ical Abstract: Sharing data within and across labs is a known challenge, with different researchers adopting unique data and code conventions. Emerging standards for project organization help to address this need, facilitating collaboration and improving the re-usability of collected data. In this workshop, I'll review several principles of best-practice project organization in neuroscience, including the use of the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS). Researchers will leave with resources for organizing their projects including tools for converting their own data into BIDS and querying BIDS data sets. We will also briefly introduce some of the tools and applications in the BIDS ecosystem, providing powerful evidence for the benefits of adopting project organization standards. https://mcgill.ca/bic/channels/event/neuroimagers-workshop-bids-tier-protocol-296238 We hope to see you there!

Functional neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI measure how engaging in a task modifies a person's brain activity, and are outstanding tools for brain mapping. Dozens of thousands of fMRI studies have been published. Meta-analysis tries to extract general and reliable knowledge about the brain from this vast amount of results. In this talk I will present the traditional way of doing meta-analysis and our efforts towards a more powerful and flexible approach.
