The heavy outreach experience he also acquired during his PhD finally Led him to yearn for a more multidisciplinary field of research: theoretical bio-imaging. Specializing in the development of innovative methods and models for diffusion MRI in Pr Maxime Descoteaux's group at Universite de Sherbrooke, Alexis Reymbaut will soon leave for Sweden for a second post-doctorate to further refine his specialty. Abstract Probing the diffusion patterns of water molecules in the brain with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a state-of-the-art modality indirectly characterizing the integrity and organization of white-matter pathways. However, the interpretation of diffusion MRI data, often performed through the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) [1], is profoundly biased. Indeed, DTI averages the relevant diffusion patterns on a millimeter scale whereas the brain's biological structures are typically micrometer-sized. This explains why the clinical use of diffusion MRI has not expanded much in the past 30 years. To overcome this Limitation, two main families of solutions can be explored: either acquiring data through a set of acquisitions yielding complementary pieces of diffusion information or analyzing typical diffusion data with a complex modeling scheme. After introducing advanced members of each family, namely b-tensor encoding and the DIAMOND model, I will explain how I combine them in a single framework: the Magic DIAMOND model. I will finally discuss promising alternatives that serve the same goal: putting an end to diffusion MRl's core Limitations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Laureline Arnaud finished her PhD in neuroscience at McGill early 2018. She is now the Insight's Data Science Program Director in Toronto. She will give a presentation and Q&A on careers in data science. Scientists and engineers from diverse fields, including physics, astronomy, computational biology, neuroscience, math, statistics, and computer science, are playing key roles in transforming the way companies and public institutions work with data to impact our daily lives. This event will provide a high-level overview of data science in the technology industry and describe the Insight Fellows Program. The session will include time for Q&A, as well as advice for those interested in transitioning to careers in data science and artificial intelligence. About Insight: The Insight Data Science Fellows Program is an intensive, seven week postdoctoral training fellowship that bridges the gap between academic research and a career in data science. Based in 4 cities in the US and in Toronto, the program enables scientists to learn the industry-specific skills through a project-based, industry-driven learning approach designed to train academics in many of the cutting edge data science tools and practices used in industry. There are now over 1,800 Insight Fellows working as data scientists and data engineers on top data-driven teams including the New York Times, Netflix, Twitter, Bloomberg, Facebook, Apple, LinkedIn, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Viacom, Enigma, Jet.com, and NBC, as well as at various well-funded startups.

Here is an abstract of this talk: -------------- Brain connectivity based in EEG data recorded at the scalp is affected by various negative factors, being the volume conduction effect one of the most important. The EEG does not measure the activity of the neurons directly located under the electrode in the gray matter, but of wide areas of the brain. The signal gathered at the scalp is an attenuated mixture of the true neuronal activity. At the sources the connectivity is also problematic due to the low resolution of the inverse methods. Any EEG inverse solution provides a source estimate at each voxel that is a mixture of the true source values over all voxels of the brain. This mixing effect usually causes notable distortion in estimates of source connectivity based on inverse solutions. To lessen this shortcoming, an unmixing approach for EEG linear inverse methods is presented here. It is based on a piecewise approximation of the unknown sources by means of a brain segmentation formed by specified regions (ROIs). The approach is general and flexible enough to be applied to any linear inverse method, with any specified family of ROIs, including point, surface and 3D brain regions. Two of its variants are elaborated: arbitrary piecewise constant sources over arbitrary regions and sources with piecewise constant intensity of known direction over cortex surface regions. Numerically, the approach requires just solving a system of linear equations. Advantages and variants of this approach for connectivity analysis are discussed through a variety of simulated examples. -------------- From joanne.clark at mcgill.ca Wed Jan 23 09:10:57 2019 From: joanne.clark at mcgill.ca (Joanne Clark) Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 14:10:57 +0000 Subject: [BIC-announce] =?iso-8859-1?q?FW=3A_R_=E0_Qu=E9bec_2019_-_Le_prog?= =?iso-8859-1?q?ramme_des_ateliers_est_en_ligne!_Inscrivez-vous!?= In-Reply-To: <655910b6e391425a804fc57ad1afec21@ul-exc-pr-mbx14.ulaval.ca> References: <655910b6e391425a804fc57ad1afec21@ul-exc-pr-mbx14.ulaval.ca> Message-ID: See message below in case you want to share with BIC or ACES users.

Histological studies have also shown degeneration at several different levels of the brain. Modern MRI approaches have allowed detecting changes in these regions in patients with Parkinson's disease. This presentation will review recent advances in MRI biomarker research in Parkinson's disease and their use to study brainstem and basal forebrain lesions in Parkinson's disease in relation to clinical symptoms.

I will propose a mechanistic concept of brain health, operationalized via measurable proxies of major organ-level brain systems that support cognitive function, and demonstrated its applicability towards the prediction of cognitive decline in the context of aging and probable Alzheimer's disease.
