Abstract
A remarkable characteristic of the human mind is its propensity to form thoughts and images that stretch beyond what is currently available to the senses. This capacity for imaginative cognition is undoubtedly adaptive, allowing us to construct mental models of possible futures, navigate our social world, and provide meaning to our lives. At the same time, however, imaginative thought can become a considerable source of distress, especially in ?task-free? contexts that offer little external stimulation. Recent years have seen an explosion of research into the neural underpinnings and phenomenological correlates of imagination, yet little is known about how imaginative thoughts unfold and transition over time. In this talk, I will attempt to overcome these gaps in our knowledge of imagination by 1) introducing a neurocognitive framework with which to understand the stability, flexibility and form of our mental lives, and 2) describing an ongoing line of research seeking to illuminate the dynamics of thought, with important implications for mental health.

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!

*Never before have we had as ready access to information as in today?s
?on-line? world. Unfortunately, we also have to contend with the flood of
misinformation that threatens to overwhelm us. In response, the McGill
Office for Science and Society was established to disseminate sound science
with a mandate of separating sense from nonsense. As Director of the
Office, I have experienced various adventures in the battle against
pseudoscience, some amusing, and some more serious. Also, being on one end
of a radio microphone and in front of television cameras for over forty
years has provided fascinating insight into the public?s perception of
science and has afforded an opportunity to foster critical thinking and
help people distinguish fact from fancy.*


Joe Schwarcz is Director of McGill University?s ?Office for Science and
Society? which has the mission of separating sense from nonsense. He is the
recipient of numerous awards for teaching chemistry and for interpreting
science for the public. ?Dr Joe? has hosted a radio show on science for
forty years, has appeared hundreds of times on television, writes a regular
newspaper column and is the author of eighteen best-sellers. He has been
awarded honorary degrees by Athabasca University, Cape Breton University,
the University of Windsor and Simon Fraser University. Professor Schwarcz
is also an amateur magician and often spices up his presentations with a
little magic.

Bonjour Julien,

J'ai fait une ?bauche d'offre pour la position de PhD pour le projet STRATAL, en me basant sur l'offre de postdoc qu'on avait publi?. Voici le document : https://drive.google.com/file/d/11GbZjFoFGlSWf8CYX623gHQVc8zzhUpE/view?usp=sharing

On avait bri?vement discut? des d?tails mais j'ai assum? les faits suivants :
- le doctorant suivrait le programme de g?nie biom?dical ? Polytechnique Montr?al
- l'?tudiant serait affili? ? mon laboratoire et au tien et donc profiterait des deux environnements
- l'?tudiant recevrait une aide financi?re sur le budget du projet STRATAL mais je peux ?galement mettre de l'argent de mon fond de d?marrage
- le d?marrage du PhD se fera sans doute en septembre 2021 ou janvier 2022
Ca me ferait plaisir d'en discuter si tu vois les choses autrement.

Je pensais mettre cette annonce sur le site de ISMRM (https://www.ismrm.org/career-center/) et sur OHBM (https://jobs.humanbrainmapping.org/) en marge des conf?rences et partager sur nos r?seaux.

Qu'en pensez-vous?

Bonne soir?e,

Benjamin

Background
Since 2018, a group of neuroscientists from several Canadian universities and institutions have been collaborating to create and teach a curriculum for neuroimaging analysis and neuroinformatics. Adopting open standards like BIDS and fostering FAIR principles is among the strategic goals of this training program. This project is seeking a form of accreditation from The Carpentries, whose vision is to be the leading inclusive community teaching data and coding skills. For this reason, we name our effort NeuroCarpentry.

The collaborators: Erin Dickie, Jerry Jeyachandra, Jason Kai, Michael Joseph, Sara Stephenson, Nikhil Parag Bhagwat, Patrick Bermudez, Michael Dayan, Paule-J Toussaint, Swapna, Jon Haitz Legarreta, Olivia Stanley, JB Poline, Ted Strauss, James Desjardins.

Since 2018, a group of neuroscientists from several Canadian universities
and institutions have been collaborating to create and teach a curriculum
for neuroimaging analysis and neuroinformatics. Adopting open standards
like BIDS and fostering FAIR principles is among the strategic goals of
this training program. This project is seeking a form of accreditation from
The Carpentries, whose vision is to be the leading inclusive community
teaching data and coding skills. For this reason, we name our effort
NeuroCarpentry.



The collaborators: Erin Dickie, Jerry Jeyachandra, Jason Kai, Michael
Joseph, Sara Stephenson, Nikhil Parag Bhagwat, Patrick Bermudez, Michael
Dayan, Paule-J Toussaint, Swapna, Jon Haitz Legarreta, Olivia Stanley, JB
Poline, Ted Strauss, James Desjardins.



Thank you

RAISE CoE Seminar: Git-based Data Management with the Open-source DataLad Tool

Friday, May 28, 2021

10:00am-12:00pm

- virtually -

CoE RAISE organizes a seminar titled ?Git-based Data Management with the
Open-source DataLad Tool? from 10:00 - 12:00 CEST on May 28th, 2021.

The event, which is virtually hosted by project partners from the University
of Iceland, focus on the need for HPC & AI application researchers to perform
proper data management with the git-based open-source tool named DataLad.

The seminar demonstrates how CoE RAISE and other computational-intensive and
data-intensive communities can benefit from the free DataLad tool. It enables
researchers to discover data since it has built-in support for metadata
extraction and search. HPC & AI researchers often consume data in different
ways requiring direct access to individual files, especially when using a few
files from some large datasets for analysis. DataLad enables that and supports
also sharing datasets with the public or just some colleagues on platforms
without the need for a central service for publishing datasets. Version
control systems such as GIT are a de-facto standard for open-source software
development. A similar level of tooling enables the DataLad tool for data
management and analysis. HPC & AI researchers benefit from comprehensively
track the exact state of any analysis inputs that produced results across the
entire lifetime of a project and multiple datasets, enabling reproducibility.

Agenda:
Welcome & CoE RAISE Use Case Foundations and Requirements for Data Management
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Morris Riedel, ~20 Min

Introduction to the DataLad Data Management Approach
Dr. Michael Hanke, ~40 Min

Short Comfort Break & Discussions ~10 Min

Using DataLad in Data-intensive Neuroscience Research & Lessons Learned
Dr. Kaustubh Patil, ~20 Min

Q & A Session & Next Seminar Sneak Preview ~30 Min
