Beamforming questions

by Luis Peraza

More about Beamforming files In a previous mail-list I was told that the *spheres.txt and *transform.txt file are obtained after coregistration of the MEG data to the MRI structural before beamforming. So I imagine that transform.txt matrix takes the NAI voxel values to the MNI space with a 5mm or 2mm volume grid, from the individual/subject brain to the MNI standard. Am I right? Is it MNI standard or the MNI space of the individual structural MRI? But anyway, (and this is a supposition) coregistration should be done first between MEG and the individual MRI structure to perform Beamforming in world/real or physical coordinates (right?). So there should be a previous space transform in world coordinates to perform beamforming, then the NAI values are obtained in world coordinates and finally transformed to MNI space together with the individual structural MRI. Am I right about this? The reason why I am to eager to know this, is because I am doing Beamforming for my project using python-vtk, and so far I have learned how to extract the cortical voxels of individual structrual MRI using BET-FAST from FSL. But in order to run my beamforming I need to transform the structural voxels (in MNI) to world coordinates and also do coregistration between the fiducial skin points, which I imagine were obtained using the stylus pen for 3D modelling during the MEG acquisition with the surface of the subject skin from the MRI. I was wondering if the transform.txt file does the coregistration skin-points-to-skin-surface for the Beamforming, Now I know that it does not. Maybe I will have to program my own coregistration algorithm anyway. I only wanted to know If there were a less painful way to do it. My fifth question is the following. According to the ynic-wiki, it says that I am able to define any voxel in MNI coordinates to define virtual electrodes using the Beamforming functions. The problem is that the wiki does not say how to define this coordinates. From where can I take them? > From the structural MRI or from the MRI standard? Can they be only the cortex or any voxel inside the brain? And my last question is about the sphere.txt file. It is composed of 248 lines, they should be the MEG coils, but I can not imagine the meaning of the rest of the four columns. I was thinking they where x,y,z coordinates, but there is a fourth one that tells me I am wrong. Many thanks, Luis R. Peraza

Useful Tool for Meta-analysis and Functional Anatomy

by Tom Hartley

I've just come across pubbrain.org. It looks like a fantastic tool for cognitive neuroscience. Search for a term (e.g. "working memory") and find out how many PubMed papers have referred to different brain regions (a "heat map" is provided), together with a list of citations. For example, Pubmed find 161 papers linking "working memory" and "inferior frontal gyrus". Of course this is only the first step in understanding the brain basis of a given function, but I think it should be very useful for gaining a quick overview. Tom

MEG Booking

by Mark Hymers

Hi, We have recently made some changes to the booking system for MEG to bring it more into line with the MRI system. "Operator Slots" have been re-introduced into the MEG system in line with the practice for MRI. These slots will disappear from the system 2 working days beforehand. All projects which can book MEG with YNiC provided operators will therefore be able to book in the same way that they can for MRI, but with a slightly longer notice period (2 days instead of 1). The following is a list of times of the week when operators will be available: Monday 0930-1130 and 1330-1630 Tuesday 1330-1530 Wednesday 0900-1200 Thursday 0900-1200 and 1300-1600 Friday 1100-1600 Projects with their own operators can continue to book the scanner at any time they require (subject to any other restrictions such as number of hours per week). If there are any questions about this procedure, please contact reception(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Summary: The Thatcher illusion is a phenomenon where it becomes difficult to detect local feature changes in an upside down face, despite identical changes being obvious in an upright face. The illusion was named after the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on whose photograph the effect has been most famously demonstrated (Thompson, 1980). The aim of this proposal is to use the Thatcher Illusion to explore how information about the identity, expression and attractiveness of faces is represented in the brain.
