*Montreal Resting-state fMRI Workshop
<https://www.mcgill.ca/channels-contribute/channels/event/montreal-resting-state-fmri-workshop-235364>*


*   Thursday, May 29, 2014;  8:45 am - 5:00 pm*



*   Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre*

*   Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital*

In less than a decade, resting-state functional MRI has become an important
paradigm for studying the network properties of brain function, providing
convincing evidence for the Hebbian concept of neuronal assemblies that act
in coherence, and constitute the functional organization of the brain.



Home to Wilder Penfield and Donald Hebb, Montreal has a proud legacy in the
science and technology aimed at characterizing the functional topography of
the brain and its relation to neurophysiology. Sponsored by McGill Center
for Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN), and supported by McConnell Brain
Imaging Center and Montreal Neurological Institute, this
workshop<https://www.mcgill.ca/channels-contribute/channels/event/montreal-resting-state-fmri-workshop-235364>provides
an opportunity to learn about the status of RSfMRI research in
Montreal, and to become familiar with important neurophysiological,
clinical and methodological aspects of this research (see program below).



This is an opportunity for sharing unique insights, finding collaborative
grounds and conceptualizing the methodological approach and computational
infrastructure needed for multimodal functional neuroimaging with MRI, TMS,
EEG and MEG.



On behalf of the Ludmer Center and MCIN,



Najmeh Khalili-Mahani, PhD

Pierre Bellec, PhD
