*Recruitment Announcement*


Volunteers needed for Brain Awareness Week (BAW)!



Do you love science? Do you want to share your passion with people of all
ages? Join us!



BAW is an annual event designed to bring neuroscience to the public. Since
1998, Montreal has participated in BAW by having graduate and undergraduate
students from all four Montreal universities organize and run events during
one week in March to promote public interest in neuroscience.



This year???s BAW will be taking place from *March 9th to 13th*, with school
presentations running until *March 20rd*. Elementary school presentations
will be on the five senses and High school presentations will focus on the
effects of drugs.



No prior knowledge or experience necessary! You *DO NOT* have to prepare
any presentations ??? we will do that for you! All you have to do is attend
one training session. For school presentations you will then pick up the
kit with all the information in it and go to the school to give the
presentation.



To participate, fill out the online form:

Message-ID: <ED72FE1F-FBA1-4698-93AC-50942F45BF7E@cim.mcgill.ca>

CREATE-MIA/CIM Seminar -  All welcome!

"Methods to build, parameterize and validate high-resolution MRI-based computer heart models"

Dr. Mihaela Pop, 
Jr. Research Scientist - Sunnybrook Research Institute, 
Lecturer - Dept. Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto

Location:	McConnell Engineering Building, Room 437
Date:	Tuesday, February 10 
Time:	11:00 am


Abstract
This talk will be focused on methods to build histologically validated preclinical 3D computerized heart models that are personalized from MR imaging and electrical mapping. In particular, we are interested in models coupled with fast computational algorithms (clinically tractable) that can simulate the propagation of the cardiac electrical impulse in less than a few minutes and predict the inducibility of abnormal heart rhythms. We envision that these image-based models will improve the diagnosis and therapy outcome of malignant arrhythmias in patients who suffered a heart attack and developed chronic infarct scars.

Biography
Dr. Mihaela Pop is currently a Junior Research Scientist in the Schulich Heart Program at Sunnybrook Research Institute Toronto and a Lecturer in the Department of Medical Biophysics at the University of Toronto. Dr. Pop completed her MSc in medical biophysics at Princess Margaret Hospital & Ontario Cancer Institute (University of Toronto) working on the modelling of radio-frequency thermal ablation therapy of kidney tumours. She then completed a PhD and a post-doctoral training in medical biophysics at Sunnybrook Research Institute, University of Toronto. Her work involves a multi-disciplinary research focused on cardiac tissue characterization using MRI, optical imaging and electrical mapping, combined with mathematical modelling relevant to electrophysiology. She works with scientists in the Medical physics and Imaging stream at Sunnybrook and closely collaborates with researchers in the Asclepios project at Inria (Nice, France). Since 2010, she has been actively involved in the organization of the STACOM workshop (Statistical and computational models of the heart) held annually in conjunction with the international conference MICCAI (Medical Image computing and computer assisted interventions).

* Apologies for multiple postings; for diffusion please *

Dear All:

The MEG team at the McConnell Brian Imaging Centre (MNI, McGill) is offering a unique training opportunity for staff, students and trainees Mar 16-20, 2015.

Mar 16 is a full day crash course covering:
Principles and foundations (physics, physiology, instrumentation and signal formation, neural oscillations, with special guest Prof Karim Jerbi, Psychology University of Montreal), typical paradigm designs, and a special emphasis on time series analysis and imaging (event-related responses, spectral and time-frequency decompositions, functional connectivity)

Mar 17-20 are hands-on, in small groups (3 per group, 4 groups max)
Day 2: Hands-on practical paradigm design: design your pilot study in small groups
Day 3: Hands-on data collection: collect your own data
Day 4: Hands-on analysis of collected data using Brainstorm (including software training)
Day 5: Advanced data analysis continues, with group presentations and data competition (with a prize!): what have we learned?

Registration can be for the whole week (note: 12 seats only) or just for the full-day course on Mar 16. Registration deadline: Feb 20, 2015.

Detailed program in attached flyer and online:

Message-ID: <0BD3772F-E506-4439-ADD1-8B5EB14AC665@mcgill.ca>

?We are looking for a volunteer ?to participate in an EEG pilot, which we plan on conducting next week (the exact timing will be determined based on you schedule). To save time for EEG preparation, we are looking at this moment for volunteers with extremely short hair.

The entire experiment will last about two hours and will include a preparation stage (45 min) that will be followed by an EEG recording session (45 min.) during which you will listen to music and perform a simple computer task (the MID).

The preparation stage will include the attachment of 29 EEG electrodes to your scalp;  Following the recording session, you will be provided with the proper facilities to wash away the conductive gel from the hair.

Since the musical materials will be selected based on your personal preferences, I will need to briefly interview you about your musical preferences at your earliest convenience.

If you are interested please contact Neomi (singer.neomi at gmail.com<mailto:singer.neomi at gmail.com>)

Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

We will pay you $50 for your time.

A unique album: 30 years of imaging the brain


The Neuro?s McConnell Brain Imaging Centre reaches a milestone

How does the brain grow and develop in childhood and aging? How does brain activity shape and unfold within milliseconds? How does our brain respond to objects, faces, food, and music? How is the brain affected in drug abuse, multiple sclerosis, depression? How can we better prepare for neurosurgeries?

These are some of the fascinating and important questions dealing with human brain and behaviour explored at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital?s McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC). The BIC is the site of the most diverse, sophisticated, and cutting-edge brain imaging technology currently available. It is a world-class research and training centre, home to more than 150 staff and students. Importantly, the BIC is also a major service platform for 120 investigators and their trainees across Montreal. Over the past 30 years, the BIC?s international influence in research and training has helped revolutionize how scientists explore the nervous system and behaviour, in health and disease.

The BIC is celebrating its 30th anniversary on February 11 with a day-long event that looks at the past and next three decades of producing a wide palette of neuro-images, and significantly advancing our knowledge of brain function and neurological disease.

As part of the event, four former BIC directors will relate how the Centre has developed an ever-increasing capability to peer inside the brain. BIC scientists produced Canada?s first PET scans, first MR images and first CT scans. Today, the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre produces large volumes of data and analysis methods that are shared with hundreds of scientists and clinical partners in Montreal and Canada, and with many thousands of users around the world. A panel of BIC scientists will highlight how these images are used in research and medical treatment.

An international panel will also look at cutting-edge brain-imaging research taking place today that will determine the shape of things to come. Dr. David van Essen of Washington University, St. Louis, will talk about the Human Connectome Project, which is mapping anatomical and functional connectivity in the brain. Dr. Henry Markram of the Ecole Polytechnique F?d?rale de Lausanne, Switzerland, will discuss the Human Brain Project, which is constructing a computer simulation of the brain. Dr. Robert Zatorre, James McGill Professor of neuroscience at The Neuro, will discuss how music influences our brain.

30 Years of Neuroimaging at the BIC
The celebration event is free and open to the public. (SOLD OUT)
When:  Feb. 11, 9:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Where:  Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre, Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital, 3801 University Street, Montreal

SPECIAL CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Thursday, February 19 @ 11 am

Hosted by the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, in coordination with UQAM Coeur des Sciences.
Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre, MNI

"The Multiple Effects of Literacy on the Brain"

Prof Stanislas Dehaene
Chair, Experimental Cognitive Psychology, Coll?ge de France, Paris
Director, Cognitive NeuroImaging Unit (Inserm-CEA), NeuroSpin

Stanislas Dehaene received his training in mathematics at the ?cole Normale Sup?rieure in Paris, then completed a PhD in cognitive psychology with Jacques Mehler, post-doctoral studies with Michael Posner, as well as neuronal modelling studies with Jean-Pierre Changeux. He has been working since 1997 Neuroimaging Units of the Commissariat ? l'?nergie Atomique (Orsay and Neurospin), where he now directs the Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit since 2001. In September 2005 he was elected as a full professor on the newly created chair of Experimental Cognitive Psychology at the Coll?ge de France in Paris. He is also a Member of the French Academy of Sciences.

Stanislas Dehaene's interests concern the cerebral bases of specifically human cognitive functions such as language, calculation, and reasoning. The team uses a variety of experimental methods, including mental chronometry in normal subjects, cognitive analyses of brain-lesioned patients, and brain-imaging studies with positron emission tomography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, and high-density recordings of event-related potentials. Formal models of minimal neuronal networks are also devised and simulated in an attempt to throw some links between molecular, physiological, imaging, and behavioral data.

Stanislas Dehaene's main scientific contributions include the study of the organization of the cerebral system for number processing. Using converging evidence from PET, EEG/MEG, fMRI, and brain lesions, Stanislas Dehaene demonstrated the central role played by a region of the intraparietal sulcus in understanding quantities and arithmetic (the number sense). He was also the first to demonstrate that subliminal presentations of words can yield detectable cortical activations in fMRI, and has used these data to support an original theory of conscious and nonconscious processing in the human brain. With neurologist Laurent Cohen, he also studied the neural networks of reading and demonstrated the crucial role of the left occipito-temporal region in word recognition (the visual word form area).

Stanislas Dehaene is the author of over 100 scientific publications in major international journals.

Dear BME department members and students:

On behalf of Dr. Kearney and the departmental scholarship and awards committee, I am pleased to share with you the name of our 2014 Geddes awardee. The Geddes award is given for an outstanding PhD thesis and is valued at $1000.

2014 Leslie A. Geddes Award: B?RIAULT/ Silvain

Dr. Silvain B?riault received the award for his PhD thesis in Biomedical Engineering entitled "Computer-assisted Neuronavigation for Deep Brain Stimulation using Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging". This thesis describes a novel computer-assisted method for planning deep brain stimulation surgery. This study demonstrates the high aggregative power of the automatic algorithm for simultaneously optimizing multiple surgical constraints and evaluates feasibility of the computed trajectories based on neurosurgeons? feedback. The finding of this thesis will have great impact in treating patients with neurological problems.

?Intrinsic brain networks and their role in neurodegenerative disease"

Alain Dagher, MD, Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill

Location:	McConnell Engineering Building, Room 437
Date:	Friday, February 20, 2015
Time:	3:00 pm

Abstract
The talk will cover two recent exciting discoveries in neuroscience: (1) the imaging of intrinsic brain networks (2) evidence that neurodegenerative processes target these networks, which may act as conduits for the transneuronal spread of disease-causing misfolded proteins. Human functional brain imaging has shown that the brain is organized in large-scale networks. These have been identified mainly from resting state functional MRI (rsfMRI) and diffusion tractography (DTI), but also using structural covariance MRI data, MEG, PET and EEG. Intrinsic brain networks consist of usually spatially distinct brain regions that are heavily interconnected and tend to show correlated activity (as measured by fMRI); they are very reproducibly detected, underpin specific brain functions, and allow for efficient parallel and fault-tolerant processing. More recently, the use of graph theory for the analysis of MRI data has yielded specific insights into the organization of these networks. Graph theory is the mathematical framework for analyzing graphs, defined by a set of nodes and edges. Several interesting properties of graphs can be computed to yield insights into the normal organization of the brain, and into mechanisms of neurodegeneration.

Second, recent evidence suggests that some neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer?s and Parkinson?s Disease, may involve prion-like spreading of misfolded proteins via neuronal projections. These proteins (tau, beta-amyloid, alpha-synuclein) are thought to cause further protein misfolding, and disease propagation via intrinsic brain networks.

We will review brain imaging evidence supporting this network spread hypothesis.
