Hello all,



An interesting talk by Dr. Christian Bénar from Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes (Marseille, France) on Simultaneous recordings of MEG, EEG & intracerebral EEG to be presented at PC02.405 on July 27th, 2016 at 1pm.

We hope to see you there, kindly forward to people you think will be interested in the same.



Simultaneous recordings of MEG, EEG and intracerebral EEG
PERFORM’s ABC SEMINAR Series

Abstract: Intracerebral EEG obtained in patients during presurgical evaluation of epilepsy give a formidable opportunity for investigating the relations between surface measures and recordings performed directly within the brain. So far, relationships between surface and depth has been mostly performed on separate recordings, which is suboptimal. Thus, we propose to record simultaneously EEG, MEG and intracerebral EEG.

These signals allow

1) to quantify the sensitivity of surface recordings to events measured in depth

2) to validate the signal processing tools

3) to develop combined measures of cerebral networks at two different scales.

In this talk, Dr Bénar will present technical solutions for performing such recordings, as well as first results on depth/surface relationships.



Small Bio:

Dr Bénar graduated from Ecole Supérieur d'Electricité (Supélec) in 1994. He spent a year as an engineer at the Hospital Saint-Anne in Toulon (with Franck Vidal), and two years as a programmer at Stellate Systems (Montréal). He did his PhD under the supervision of Jean Gotman at the Montreal neurological Institute. Followed by two postdocs in Marseille (fMRI Center, with Jean-Luc Anton) and in Sophia Antipolis (Maureen Clerc and Theodore Papadopoulo).
He was appointed researcher INSERM ("chargé de recherche 1ère classe" ) in 2006. Since January 2012, he is the leader of the junior group "Dynamical brain Mapping" within the Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes (INS, UMR1106), a multidisciplinary research institute of INSERM and Aix-Marseille University. Since September 2014, he is the scientific head of the Marseille MEG platform.
His research interest is signal processing applied to brain signals (fMRI, EEG, MEG), in order to characterize the spatio-temporal dynamics of networks in cognition and disease. Currently, his team is working on simultaneous recordings of surface (EEG, MEG) and depth (SEEG) signals.
