Location: Wilson 105 Date: 2019-10-18 13:30:00 - 2019-10-18 14:30:00 Host: Prof. Kaleem Siddiqi Abstract: Modern neuroimaging techniques, in particular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), have revolutionized the study of the human brain in health and disease. MRI provides refined structural and functional information about the brain in vivo, allowing neuroscientists to investigate brain disorders with unprecedented sensitivity and specificity. The need to process, analyze and interpret the information contained in large MRI datasets has also provided opportunities and challenges for computer scientists to develop algorithms to facilitate the analysis of medical images. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of the technical and clinical work being conducted at the Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory at Harvard Medical School, with a special focus on the analysis of diffusion MRI (dMRI). dMRI is a leading and unique modality for studying the human brain's tissue microstructure and structural connectivity in vivo, and is extensively used by clinicians and researchers (over 300,000 publications in Google Scholar) to identify changes that accompany brain disorders and to understand how the brain develops and ages. A computer scientist by training, Sylvain has been working with the Psychiatry NeuroImaging Laboratory since 2003. He received his B.Eng. from Institut Polytechnique de Sevenans, France his M.Sc. from the University of Kansas and his Ph.D. from McGill University. His research interests include shape analysis of anatomical structures and evaluation of medical imaging techniques. His main duty is to act as a mediator between computer scientists and neuroscientists to help improve computer tools for neuroimaging studies.

Post-Doctoral Position at the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University Neurophysiology (MEG) of Speech Auditory Processing in Aging We are looking for a creative, post-doctoral MEG specialist to work under our joint supervision (Etienne de Villers-Sidani & Sylvain Baillet) on a study of how aging affects the neurophysiological mechanisms of speech processing. A specific focus will be on age-related changes in the tonotopic auditory cortex and their implication on speech comprehension. We use a multimodal approach, with an emphasis on MEG and advanced data analytics, in the framework of predictive inference for auditory perception (e.g., Morillon & Baillet, PNAS 2017; Donhauser & Baillet, Neuron, in press). The fellowship will be held at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, a leading research facility specializing in multi-modal human brain imaging, including 3 & 7-T MRI, PET, MEG, TMS and EEG. The BIC hosts about 150 staff members and students who specialize in human brain imaging and neuroscience. The McConnell Brain Imaging Centre is located at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) and Hospital, on the downtown campus of McGill University, in the heart of Montreal ? probably one of the coolest student cities worldwide. The MNI is recognized as a world leader in neuroimaging, neuroscience, and the study of neurological diseases. Overall, this is an exciting opportunity to advance systems neuroscience and to benefit from a thriving research and learning environment. Interested candidates need a solid background in brain imaging (preferably MEG) and good analytical and scientific coding skills (Matlab or Python). Experience in neurodegeneration, brain computational modeling and statistics are further assets. Duration: One-year, extensible. Start Date: Position available immediately.

A look at its past, present, and future". *Abstract*: Many of you have heard of LORIS, but do you truly understand it's purpose and value? It might help to see why this infrastructure was created in the first place and what kinds of manual work it has streamlined and automated. LORIS is a complex system with numerous modules and functionalities, and has evolved with emerging technologies to improve data management for research studies. It has incorporated best practices in data sharing and is constantly evolving. This talk will take a stroll down memory lane, while also providing an in-depth view at its underlying components and features. But above all, it will answer one key question: "To fork LORIS, or not to fork LORIS...?" *Date*: Friday, the 25th of October, at 13:00 *Place*: de Grandpr? auditorium -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Communications Centre Abstract: Data processing is a significant part of a neuroimaging study. The choice of corresponding methods and tools is crucial. I will give an opinionated view how on a path to building better data processing for neuroimaging. I will take examples on endeavors that I contributed to: defining standards for functional-connectivity analysis, the nilearn neuroimaging tool, http://neuroquery.org, the scikit-learn machine-learning toolbox -an industry standard with a billion regular users. I will cover not only the technical process -statistics, signal processing, software engineering- but also the epistemology of methods development. Methods govern our results, they are more than a technical detail. Bio: Ga?l Varoquaux is a tenured computer-science researcher at Inria. His research focuses on statistical learning tools for data science and scientific inference. He has pioneered the use of machine learning on brain images to map cognition and pathologies. More generally, he develops tools to make machine learning easier, with statistical models suited for real-life, uncurated data, and software for data science. He co-funded scikit-learn, one of the reference machine-learning toolboxes, and helped build various central tools for data analysis in Python. Varoquaux has contributed key methods for learning on spatial data, matrix factorizations, and modeling covariance matrices. He has a PhD in quantum physics and is a graduate from Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris. Organizer: Dr Jean-Baptiste (JB) Poline is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill; the co-Chair of the NeuroHub and Chair of the Technical Steering Committee for the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP) at the Montreal Neurological Institute & Hospital (the NEURO); and a Primary Investigator at the Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics & Mental Health For more information and to RSVP: ?

Message-ID: Hi everyone: Just released: a considerable extension of our beloved Brainstorm app to basic electrophysiology, from single probes to dense-array recordings. We hope this responds to a major unmet need from the community in terms of user-friendly, free, open software that is well-supported & documented. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-019-0242-z The app supports a wide diversity of data formats for import/export, incl. BIDS, NeurodataWB, and the new Neuralink probes + MRI / CT volumes. One convenient and much-useful feature is that Brainstorm now interoperates via GUIs, with leading apps for supervised and unsupervised spike detection and clustering: Waveclus. UltraMegaSort2000, and Kilosort/Klusters. LFPs are extracted from original signal traces, after applying robust de-spiking (Zanos et al., 2011) + notch + anti-aliasing filtering + downsampling. LFP traces can then be processed using the extensive toolkit library from Brainstorm, featuring e.g., spectral & time-frequency decompositions, connectivity estimates, inferential statistics, ML decoding, etc. ... and of course, new e-phys tools more specific to spike/LFP analytics incl.: raster plots, PSTH, tuning curves, noise correlations, spike-field coherence, etc. [cid:CC9CB04F-0B53-4256-A044-EE7827E765A5 at campus.mcgill.ca] For those of you who also collect anatomical images such as MRIs, Brainstorm features powerful solutions for 3D and slice visualization, with registration of electrode/array locations + e-phys data.
