*Abstract:*

Drs. Grova and Lina will be releasing "*BEst": Brain Entropy in space and
time -*  a Brainstorm plug-in offering new source localization approaches
for EEG and MEG data, based on the framework of the *Maximum Entropy on the
Mean (MEM) *

This toolbox has been developed thanks to joint effort of two research
teams:

*- Dr. Lina's **LATIS Lab* (main students involved: Younes Zerouali and
Karine Lacourse)

*- Dr. Grovas' Multimodal functional Imaging Lab
<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ResearchLabsMFIL/HomePage> (*main students
involved: Rasheda Chowdhury and Tanguy Hedrich)

The toolbox features three source localization methods derived from the MEM
framework, that can be applied to either EEG, MEG or fused EEG/MEG data.  Each
of these methods is associated with an article describing its
implementation and validation:

*cMEM: standard MEM with stable clustering* source localization in the
time-domain sensitive to the *spatial extent* of distributed source.
Estimating the spatial extent of the source is notably crucial when
localizing epileptic discharges: MEG source localization of spatially
extended generators of epileptic activity: comparing entropic and
hierarchical bayesian
approaches.<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23418485>Chowdhury
RA, Lina JM, Kobayashi E, Grova C. PLoS One. 2013;8(2):e55969.

*wMEM: wavelet based MEM* dedicated to perform source localization of
*oscillatory
patterns* in the time-frequency domain: Wavelet-based localization of
oscillatory sources from magnetoencephalography
data.<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22410322>
 Lina J, Chowdhury R, Lemay E, Kobayashi E, Grova C. IEEE Trans Biomed Eng.
2012 Mar 6.

*rMEM*: ridge MEM dedicated to localize cortical sources exhibiting
synchrony: Localization of synchronous cortical neural
sources.<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22127987>
 Zerouali Y, Herry CL, Jemel B, Lina JM. IEEE Trans Biomed Eng. 2013
Mar;60(3):770-80.

The *OMM from 1:00 to 2:00 pm* will consist in an overall presentation of
this Brainstorm toolbox during which we will describe these three methods,
their characteristics, their validation and few applications.

This will be followed by a* Hands On session from 2:00 to 3:00 pm *during
which you can run MEM approaches by yourselves on your laptop. If you
are interested in attending this hands-on session please send ASAP an email
to christophe.grova at mcgill.ca or Jean-Marc.Lina at etsmtl.ca   Technical
details regarding the organization of this session will be communicated to
those who RSVP (installation procedure, test data to be uploaded).

The Feindel Brain Imaging Lecture
Series<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Seminars/BICLectureSeries>
features
informal lectures on brain imaging presented at the
Neuro<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/>
's McConnell Brain Imaging Centre<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Main/HomePage>
 (*BIC*) by experts in the field.
These lectures are named in honour of Dr. William
Feindel<http://publications.mcgill.ca/reporter/2014/01/dr-william-feindel-1918-2014/>
(1918-2014),
former Director of the Neuro (1972 -1984) and Founding Director of the BIC
(1984–88).  Dr.
Feindel<http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/neurosurgeon-william-feindel-was-an-explorer-of-the-mind/article16764683/>'s
presence and contribution will be greatly missed at our weekly Brain
Imaging Lectures <http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Seminars/BICLectureSeries>,
where he almost always asked the final, most-germane question of the day:
one that usually bridged the clinical and research realms, and that brought
together the past, the present, and the future of brain science.

This semester, our Lecture Series is being held in conjunction with the
BIC's new Open Methods Meetups
(*OMM*)<http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/Seminars/OpenMethodsMeetups>: a
forum for discussing hands-on technical issues, brainstorming
problem-solving for specific projects, and sharing personal
tricks-of-the-trade. This will be a great venue for those associated with
the BIC to transfer knowledge and to get to know one another.

Cheers!
Aki
