MONTREAL RESTING-STATE FMRI WORKSHOP

In less than a decade, resting-state functional MRI has become an important paradigm for studying the network properties of brain function, providing convincing evidence for the Hebbian concept of neuronal assemblies that act in coherence, and constitute the functional organization of the brain.

Home to Wilder Penfield and Donald Hebb, Montreal has a proud legacy in the science and technology aimed at characterizing the functional topography of the brain and its relation to neurophysiology. Sponsored by McGill Center for Integrative Neuroscience (MCIN), and supported by McConnell Brain Imaging Center and Montreal Neurological Institute, this workshop provides an opportunity to learn about the status of RSfMRI research in Montreal, and to become familiar with important neurophysiological, clinical and methodological aspects of this research.

This is an opportunity for sharing unique insights, finding collaborative grounds and conceptualizing the methodological approach and computational infrastructure needed for multimodal functional neuroimaging with MRI, TMS, EEG and MEG.

On behalf of the Ludmer Center and MCIN,
