In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <293C4521-B097-4D72-84D6-C2C5AC6481C1@mcgill.ca> De : Barbara Tillmann > Date : vendredi, 13 janvier 2023 ? 12:12 ? : Philippe Albouy > Objet : announcement rhythm EEG & co Two 3-year post-doc and two PhD positions in neurodevelopment and rhythm processing in Canada and France We are looking for two 3-year post-doc researchers and two PhD students for the projects PreMusic and BabyMusic funded by the French National Research Agency ANR and the Fondation pour l?Audition. The deadline for applications is March 31st, 2023. Applications will be evaluated as they come in, and the positions will be open until filled. The consortium of the projects aims to evaluate the development of rhythm perception starting from the third trimester of gestation into infancy, and the impact of early musical interventions in the NICU on preterm infants? development. In these cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, we will evaluate the development of auditory rhythm processing capacities with EEG, and behavioral protocols. The project consortium involves four academic partners with complementary expertise in early neurodevelopment, cognitive neurosciences of music, neural data processing (in particular EEG), and music analysis. The aim is to put together a cross-disciplinary team that together covers the following methods: protocol design and implementation, EEG signal processing, behavioral studies, video analysis, statistics, machine learning. The positions will be with Laurel Trainor in Hamilton, Canada (Institute for the Music and the Mind), and with Sahar Moghimi in Amiens (INSERM U1105), in collaboration with Barbara Tillmann in Dijon (LEAD-UMR5022). 1) Hamilton (https://livelab.mcmaster.ca/mcmaster-institute-for-music-the-mind-mimm/) The positions include developing auditory stimuli and experimental protocols, extracting the neural response from EEG signals, as well as behavioral results during experimental protocols. The candidates will conduct the experiments on the infants in conjunction with graduate students and technicians in the lab. Required: PhD (MSc for PhD applications) in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, computer science, psychology, or related fields, strong background and research expertise in EEG signal processing, advanced skills with scripting languages, such as Matlab or Python, knowledge in the field of music cognition, neuroscience of music and/or auditory perception, high verbal and written communication skills Preferable: Expertise in perceptual development and in sound measurement and analysis 2) Amiens (https://gramfc.u-picardie.fr/) The post-doc/PhD will be fully dedicated to extracting the EEG correlates of rhythm processing in the course of development, aiming to extract the neural response to different rhythmic characteristics, and to evaluate the impact of musical interventions on neurodevelopment. Required: PhD (MSc for PhD applications) in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, computer science, or related fields, strong background in neural signal processing, advanced skills with scripting languages, such as Matlab or Python, research experience in EEG signal processing/modeling, high verbal and written communication skills Preferable: knowledge in the field of neurosciences of music and/or auditory perception, French fluency All applications should include a CV, a cover letter specifying research interests and motivation, and contact details for two referees. Applications should be sent to either Laurel Trainor ljt at mcmaster.ca(positions in Hamilton) or Sahar Moghimi sahar.moghimi at u-picardie.fr (positions in Amiens). -- Barbara Tillmann LEAD, CNRS UMR5022 http://leadserv.u-bourgogne.fr/en/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[The Neuro's logo] [Twitter] [Facebook] [Instagram] [LinkedIn] [YouTube] [Events Banner] [Text Description automatically generated with low confidence] Genomic Deletions and Duplications Show Effects on Cognitive Ability along the Hierarchical Gradient of the Cortical Organization Kuldeep Kumar Postdoctoral Fellow, CHU Sainte-Justine Research Centre, University of Montreal, Canada February 1, 2023 4 p.m. EST De Grandpr? Communications Centre, The Neuro, 3801 rue University Abstract: Cognitive ability is subserved by large-scale brain networks. Previous research has established a relationship between normative spatial patterns of gene expression across the cortex, and the neuroanatomical as well as the functional organization of the cortex. However, the relationship between variations in gene expression across the cortex and cognitive ability has not yet been systematically investigated. In this talk, I will focus on how copy number variants (CNVs), which are genomic deletions or duplications and fully encompass one or more genes, offer a unique opportunity to characterize the impact of inter-individual genetic variation on cognitive ability. Using one of the largest aggregated data with CNV calls and measures of cognitive ability, we map the effects of CNVs on cognitive ability across the human cortex. The deletion and duplication effect size maps show positive and negative correlations with the established hierarchical gradient of the cortical organization. Our findings suggest that mutations with opposing gene dosage alter cognitive ability when they affect genes with opposing spatial patterns of expression in the cortex, suggesting that there is an optimal balance of gene expression across large-scale brain networks. The Feindel Seminar Series at The Neuro Advances the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918?2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972?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 brain and cognitive disorders.
