A critical barrier to FAIR data is that metadata descriptions vary widely in degree of detail and are inconsistent in terminologies used, making neuroscience data often not reusable without significant interactions with the original authors. This lack of consistent metadata makes comparisons and integration of data across studies and sites difficult. To facilitate search across datasets we developed the Neuroimaging Data model (NIDM), built using linked-data techniques to unambiguously describe experimental data, workflows, and results. In this talk I will introduce linked-data techniques and how they?re being used in neuroscience to support un-ambiguous descriptions of data, workflows, and to facilitate query and data integration across unrelated studies. *Speaker Bio* Dr. Keator has been an active researcher in the fields of neuroimaging and neuroinformatics applied to psychiatric and neurological disorders for over twenty years. His research has been focused in three principle domains: (1) Identifying brain-based biomarkers of dementia in Down Syndrome, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Schizophrenia, and Alzheimer?s disease; (2) The development of advanced machine learning models for problems in neuroimaging and medicine; (3) Developing biomedical informatics tools and techniques for the field of neuroimaging and applying them to problems in medicine. In each of these domains he has made significant research contributions, many of which have gained international exposure. Since 2011, Dr. Keator has chaired the Neuroimaging Data Model (NIDM) working group consisting of representatives form 12 institutions across Europe and the United States and co-developed the metadata standard. He is an active member of the International NeuroInformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) Neuroimaging Task Force, served on the Neuroimaging Technology Initiative?s data format working group responsible for the development of the NIfTI-1 standard, and the informatics director for the UCI Conte Center, developing informatics tools to support translational research. Further, Dr. Keator is the technical and operations director of the UCI Neuroscience Imaging Center, responsible for PET and MRI research performed at the center, quality control, reconstruction, and statistical analysis. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, previous attempts to visualize perceptual contents based on machine-learning analysis of fMRI patterns have been limited to reconstructions with low level image bases or to matchings to exemplars. While categorical decoding of imagery contents has been demonstrated, the reconstruction of internally generated images has been challenging. I introduce our recent study showing that visual cortical activity can be decoded (translated) into the hierarchical features of a pre-trained deep neural network (DNN) for the same input image, providing a way to make use of the information from hierarchical visual features. Next I present a novel image reconstruction method, in which the pixel values of an image are optimized to make its DNN features similar to those decoded from human brain activity at multiple layers. Our method was able to reliably produce reconstructions that resembled the viewed natural images. While the model was solely trained with natural images, it successfully generalized to artificial shapes, indicating that our model was not simply matching to exemplars. The same analysis applied to mental imagery demonstrated rudimentary reconstructions of the subjective content. Our method can effectively combine hierarchical neural representations to reconstruct perceptual and subjective images, providing a new window into the internal contents of the brain.

This talk will mainly describe how brain network-sensitive neuroimaging methods such as resting-state fMRI and diffusion MRI can shed light on brain network dysfunctions associated with pathology and cognitive decline from preclinical to clinical stage of neurological disorders. I will first present our findings from two independent datasets on how amyloid and cerebrovascular pathology influence brain functional networks cross-sectionally and longitudinally in individuals with mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Evidence on longitudinal functional network organizational changes in healthy older adults and the influence of APOE genotype will be presented. In the second part, I will describe our work on how different pathology influences brain structural network and white matter microstructure. I will also touch on some new data on how individual-level brain network integrity contributes to behavior and disease progression using multivariate computational approaches. These findings underscore the importance of studying selective brain network vulnerability instead of individual region and longitudinal design. Further developed with machine learning approaches, multimodal network-specific imaging signatures will help reveal disease mechanisms and facilitate early detection, prognosis and treatment search of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Specialized laryngeal motor control has been suggested to be a critical evolutionary adaptation in the human brain that enabled speech. During my PhD, I investigated the cortical specialization underlying laryngeal motor control using functional neuroimaging and comparative neuroanatomy. We localized the cortical representation of the larynx in humans during voicing using fMRI and studied how the functional activation patterns relate to individual sulcal morphology. In order to study critical brain specializations in a comparative framework across primate species, we use a 'common space' approach that can account for both shared and distinct features across species. We developed a surface-based cross-species registration that allows us to study how cortical reorganization during evolution affected the relative location of brain areas and connectivity profiles. Using the 'common space' approach, we can test the effect of different evolutionary scenarios on the brain architecture related to laryngeal motor control.

My recent projects have explored the ways in which we build up this schematic knowledge (during a single experiment and across developmental timescales) and can strategically deploy these cognitive maps to construct event representations that we can store in memory or use to make predictions. I will describe my lab's ongoing work developing new experimental and analysis techniques for conducting functional MRI experiments using movies, poetry, games, virtual reality, and "memory experts" to study complex naturalistic schemas. The Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series Advancing the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918?2014), former Director of the Neuro (1972?1984) and Founding Director of the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging. Speakers will include scientists from across The Neuro, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary exchanges on the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment of brainand cognitive disorders. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in presenting please contact us to secure a spot on the schedule. Looking forward to reconnecting!
