Fwd: Post-doc proposal: Charting the human brain with fMRI
by Gary Green 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

Dear NeuroImager, Please find [1]here a summary of a post-doctoral project related to the Strategic Human Brain Data subproject of the [2]Human Brain Project. Ideally, the successful candidate should start the post-doc on end 2013/early 2014. The research focus of this proposal is to build a functional atlas of the human brain: by repeatedly scanning a limited number of subjects with a large class of functional localizers (retinotopic, tonotopic, somatotopic, visual categories, space and number, language, social cognition, resting state) together with high-resolution anatomy and diffusion-weighted scans, we wish to accumulate spatially resolved functional information on this group of subjects. The resulting activation maps will provide an objective basis to inform the definition of brain regions, and compared to similar resources (human connectome project etc.). The uniqueness of the dataset will consist in the variety of cognitive functions tested. The post-doc will be in charge of setting a set of protocols up and running, take part to the set of acquisitions performed on Neuropsin 3T scanner at high resolution, analyse it with the help of the engineers and researchers of the Parietal team. He/she will be involved in the design choices for the initial steps of the project and in the ensuing meta-analyses and performance. The work will be carried out at Neurospin, Saclay, France, in close collaboration with the [3]unicog team. We offer a salary of 32 kE/year. The position is for two years. For more details, please contact [4]Bertrand Thirion. Please do circulate this announcement. Thank you in advance for your help. Best, Gael, relaying Bertrand Thirion References 1. https://team.inria.fr/parietal/files/2011/07/sujet_post_doc_hbp.pdf 2. http://www.humanbrainproject.eu/ 3. http://www.unicog.org/pm/pmwiki.php 4. mailto:bertrand.thirion@inria.fr

MEG research group meeting September
by Markus van Ackeren 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Dear all, The next MEG/EEG research group meeting will be held on September 19, 12.15pm in B204, Department of Psychology. Rebecca Millman will talk about: Methods and application of phase amplitude coupling, and I will support her with some simulations. Phase amplitude coupling has received a lot of attention in recent years. The general aim is to quantify cross-spectral interactions in electrophysiological data (e.g., MEG,ECoG). If you would like to know more about the technique before the meeting, I recommend the following very accessible papers by Bradley Voytek. http://knightlab.berkeley.edu/statics/publications/2013/03/25/phaseamplitud… Shifts in gamma phase-amplitude coupling frequency from theta to alpha over posterior cortex during visual tasks Hope to see you all in September.

Fwd: Engineer Position Available - Paris - France
by Gary Green 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

An engineer position is available in our laboratory "Movement disorders and basal ganglia: pathophysiology and experimental therapeutics" headed by Pr M Vidailhet and located in the Brain and Spine Institute, ICM, at Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in Paris, on the topic of MEG recordings and endogenous brain oscillations. For at least half of his working time the candidate will work on a study devoted to the pathophysiology of dystonia. In this study we will use a new approach combining (i) recent technical developments of magnetoencephalography (MEG) (i.e reconstruction of deep sources like thalamus and cerebellum and functional connectivity measures between the deep sources and the cortical ones) with (ii) a still -unexplored-in dystonia way of neural communication through the beta and gamma oscillations and (iii) a potential new experimental therapeutics using non invasive transcranial alternative current stimulation to boost endogenous oscillations. The candidate is expected to have previous experience in the field of MEG recordings (mandatory) and ideally in endogenous brain rhythms recordings (not mandatory). The work will be carried out in a close collaboration with the PI (Sabine Meunier, MD, PhD, senior researcher INSERM), the MEG department (Nathalie Georges and Denis Schwartz) and the PhD student in charge of the project (Alienor Richard). The position is for 18 months, the salary is 2200 Euros per month. Contact Dr Sabine Meunier for further information (Sabine.Meunier(a)free.fr)
