The next BIC's students and Postdocs' seminar will take place at 11:30 AM on Monday, June 2, 2025, in the Grandpre auditorium.
Pizza and light drinks will be served at 12:30 PM.
There will be two cutting-edge neuroimaging talks, each followed by Qs, As, and discussion.

Title:
"High-resolution diffusion-MRI-based tractography of U-fibers using a conventional 3 Tesla scanner"
Summary: In this talk, I will demonstrate that short axonal bundles can be imaged reliably using a 3 Tesla Prisma scanner with a conventional gradient system. I will also demonstrate improvements to the 'TractoFlow' pipelines to support high-resolution dMRI.

Title:
"On night owls and early birds: insights from multimodal population studies"
Summary: Chronotype is shaped by a complex interplay of endogenous and exogenous factors,  varies across lifespan, and is linked to health risks. Moving beyond uniform classifications, we identified five distinct chronotype subtypes using multimodal brain imaging and deep phenotyping in 27,030 UK biobank adults. Each subtype showed unique brain-behavior-health patterns, validated in 10,550 US children with reversed age effects. These findings reveal previously overlooked population variation in biological clocks, with implications spanning from childhood to adulthood.

Dear Paule-Joanne,

I hope you are doing well.

We are organizing a mini workshop on cneuromod next week (Tuesday morning).
We'll also be presenting the algonauts competition.
Also, would it be possible to circulate the announcement at the bic?

Thanks,

Lune P Bellec

Join Us for the first CNeuroMod workshop featuring the Algonauts brain encoding competition?

Curious about creating models of how the brain processes video, sound, and language? Join us for our first
CNeuroMod workshop where we?ll introduce a unique collection of brain data and rich stimuli
(https://cneuromod.ca)?and show you how researchers can create AI models that encode brain activity from
video data.

We?ll also dive into the Algonauts competition (https://algonautsproject.com/), where teams from around
the world challenge each other to build the best AI models that mimic brain activity while participants
are watching videos. This session is designed for a multidisciplinary audience ?from psychologists to
computer scientists?and will give you practical insights into the exciting intersection of brain science
and artificial intelligence.

This special session is co-organized by the Unique Network (Union of Neuroscience and AI Qu?bec) and will
be held in a hybrid format (Zoom or in-person).

Date & Time: June 10th, 10 am - 12 pm
Location: Room M6809, CRIUGM, 4545 chemin Queen Mary, Montreal, H3W 1W4

Registration: Free, but mandatory, using
