YNiC ASC - March 27th - Auditory fMRI
by Michael Simpson 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Dear all, this is just a reminder of the YNiC ASC tomorrow, which Quentin Summerfield will be chairing, on the subject of Auditory fMRI. It will take place in Psychology B020 at 4.30pm Thursday 27th March. The agenda will be as follows: * Rebecca Millman will start the session with a presentation on Safety and Practical Issues relating to Auditory fMRI. * Quentin Summerfield will then make a presentation on his previous experiences of fMRI at Nottingham. * Andre Gouws will then make a presentation about Technical Issues relating to Auditory fMRI. * A discussion about possible ways forward in York will follow. Thanks, Michael -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

Dear Colleagues FYI Gary -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Eeglablist] MBL Neuroinformatics 2008 Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:38:06 -0700 (PDT) From: Diane Whitmer <dwhitmer(a)biomail.ucsd.edu> To: eeglablist(a)sccn.ucsd.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:51:06 -0400 From: Catherine Hemmerdinger <catherineh(a)mbl.edu> To: catherineh(a)mbl.edu Subject: Neuroinformatics 2008 This is a gentle reminder follow-up e-mail to the e-mail copied below. Thanks for your help. We write to inform you of the opportunity for your graduate students, post-docs and colleagues to participate in the MBL special topics course "Neuroinformatics" , described at the link below, devoted to neuronal data analysis and modeling with an emphasis on signal processing and statistics. This course attracts leaders in the field to teach a unique and intensive schedule. In addition, faculty and students have numerous opportunities for informal discussion and to analyze real data sets. We believe that the educational experience and the ability to network with leading scientists from many institutions, provided by this course, is not available at any single home institution. Substantial financial aid is available to defray the cost of tuition. Neuroinformatics Course Dates: August 16 - 31, 2008 Directors: Partha Mitra, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory David Kleinfeld. UC San Diego Location: Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole MA * Application Deadline: April 11, 2008 * http://www.mbl.edu/education/courses/special_topics/neufo.html This course contains pedagogical lectures on basic statistical techniques as well as focussed mini-workshops on specific neuroscience topics where applications of these techniques are critical. Thank you in advance for passing on this information. Based on comments from alumni this educational experience has had a profound effect on their scientific career.

[Fwd: CVPR group seminar on 12th March, Wednesday in Computer Science Dept.]
by Gary Green 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

Dear colleagues, We will have a seminar on next wednesday, 12th March about medical image analysis by Dr. Lee Harrison, UCL. We would like to invite you and your group members to join the seminar. The detail of the seminar is as follows. Please could you circulate this email to your group members, and we welcome every one to join the seminar. Best regards, Fan Zhang Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Group, Computer Science Department, University of York, UK ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lee Harrison (University College London) Title: "Spatial models of functional magnetic resonance images" 11:15AM - 12:30AM, 12th March, Wednesday in Room CS103, Computer Science Building ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I will talk about Bayesian spatial models of fMRI time-series data. In particular, we use a weighted graph Laplacian (WGL) to partition a brain volume into computationally manageable segments, using an isoperimetric partitioning algorithm (Grady 2006). Data from each segment is then entered into a 2-level general linear model (GLM) with matrix-variate normal densities over likelihood and prior at the 1st and 2nd levels. The spatial covariance matrix of the prior over voxels is given by the heat kernel of a WGL and all parameters and hyperparameters e.g. controlling dispersion of the heat kernel, are optimized using an EM algorithm with Fisher-Scoring ascent scheme. The benefits of this approach are that GLM parameters have an explicit and (generally) non-stationary spatial model. This allows formal model comparison of different hypotheses about how data are generated, e.g. from a stationary or non-stationary spatial process." -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. 01904 435349 fax 01904 435356 mobile 07986 778954

ASK - AUDITORY fMRI at YNiC - 27th of March
by Andre Gouws 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Dear colleagues, _Auditory stimulus delivery in fMRI._ This ASK session will be held at 4:30 pm on Thursday the 27th of March. This is a change from the original scheduling of Wednesday the 19th of March. We will confirm the venue, but hope to host the session in B020 as before. Remember that these sessions are intended to be a forum where you can air your concerns, share your expertise and request a wish list for solutions to be provided at (not necessarily by!) YNiC. We hope to see you there. Regards, Andre' ************************************************************************ Andre Gouws User Support Manager York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5DG Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435328 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Welcome to 'Brain Awareness Week 2008'! - an annual opportunity for neuroscientists across the globe to focus on celebrating and communicating progress in brain science to the public. Coordinated in the UK by the European Dana Alliance for the Brain (www.edab.net <http://www.edab.net/> ), one of the events is... ---- National Brain Science Writing Prize 2008. In collaboration with EDAB, At-Bristol and Focus magazine, the BNA is launching a competition this week to find the best brain communicators. Could you write a newspaper-style article celebrating the amazing world of brain science? To find out more, contact: www.youramazingbrain.org <http://www.youramazingbrain.org/> . Closing date for entries: 30th June, 2008. -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park York YO10 5DG tel (+44) (0) 1904 435349 fax (+44) (0) 1904 435356 mobile 07986778954
