Abstract

Countries across the world have recognized brain research as an important driver for economic development and improved health of citizens. Over the past decade, this led to a wave of new large brain projects and initiatives, several contributing to establishing new digital research infrastructures. EBRAINS is a European distributed Research Infrastructure (RI) established in 2019 by the Human Brain Project (HBP), a Flagship project co-funded by the European Commission. The EBRAINS RI targets neuroscience, brain medicine, and brain-inspired technologies. Researchers using EBRAINS are from all regions of the world, and researchers in Europe often find RIs in other parts of the world relevant for their use cases, separate from or in combination with EBRAINS. In the interest of contributing to a paradigm shift in brain science by providing new unique collaborative platforms for rigorous and reproducible research, there is strong need for establishing synergies and interoperability. HBP and EBRAINS interact with other large projects and initiatives through the International Brain Initiative (IBI) and the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF). The IBI and INCF facilitates cross talk and the building of bridges among RIs at the global level. In this talk, I will discuss the new landscape of digital RI dependent neuroscience and brain research from the perspective of EBRAINS.

Title: Age-Related Changes in Sensorimotor Activity Revealed in Big MEG Data

Abstract:
The increase in access to big data has spread to neuroimaging, providing new opportunities for improved statistical analysis and population-level studies, and enabling researchers to ask big questions. Here, I present some of the efforts in my lab to use big MEG data to answer questions about how human brain electrophysiology changes with age. We used the MEG and structural MRI components of the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) dataset, which contains data from ~600 participants with a flat age distribution from 18 to 88 years. Within this dataset, we investigated how electrophysiological transients in the sensorimotor system change with age, in raw MEG data during task and rest. We discovered a complicated pattern of age-related changes in rhythmic activity amplitude, temporal dynamics and spatial representation. The focus on transient bursts provided a more mechanistic window into how neural networks are changing with age. We are now combining these experimental findings with computational modelling to understand how neural network mechanics may be changing with age. We are also applying this transient burst framework to pathological brain signals, in the context of ageing and cognitive decline. Finally, we are investigating what new insight may come from increasing the MEG signal-to-noise ratio with optically pumped magnetometry.

Position: Dr. Tim Bardouille is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science at Dalhousie University. He has over 20 years of experience working with MEG, from system integration to lab tech to principal investigator and clinical program lead.

NeuroHub Drop-in Q&A Sessions for Researchers

The NeuroHub platform allows access to powerful computational tools for data processing and streamlined systems for secure storage and sharing of multi-disciplinary data.

The NeuroHub Team is pleased to invite you to their bi-weekly drop-in Q&A sessions, held every second Wednesday from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m. starting on May 19.

During the drop-in sessions, the NeuroHub team will be able to discuss and answer any questions you may have about how NeuroHub can be used as part of your research activities. Prospective and current NeuroHub users are welcome to attend and ask their questions!

Some examples of questions may include:
?         What types of data can be collected and stored within NeuroHub?
?         How would a research group go about storing their data within NeuroHub?
?         How is that data managed, accessed and shared?
?         How can researchers access large datasets such as the UK Biobank using NeuroHub?
?         Are there open science datasets that are accessible within NeuroHub?
?         What data processing tools, pipelines and analysis tools are available in NeuroHub? How are those tools accessed and used?
?         What tools for machine learning are available in NeuroHub?

Want to join?  Please register to indicate your attendance<https://forms.gle/4kAxuG7j3iDkg5Uz6> at one of the upcoming NeuroHub drop-in Q&A sessions.
