The Relationship Between Brain Structure, Motor Performance, and Early Musical Training: Evidence from Diffusion Tensor Imaging

BIC Lecture Series: Winter-2011 Program

The BIC Lecture Series is a series of informal lectures on brain imaging that is presented at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre (BIC) of the Montreal Neurological Institute (Neuro) by experts in the field; these lectures are open to all.

The Winter-2012 Program of the BIC Lecture Series will feature thirteen presentations examining the use of advanced brain imaging techniques to better understand the structure and function of the human brain. These will include data obtained using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI (fMRI), recording of evoked-response potentials (MRS), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetoencephalography (MEG).

Please join us for our second lecture of the season, which will be held on Monday, March the 5th, at 1:00 pm in the de Grandpré Communications Centre of the Neuro (3801 University Street, Montreal, QC, H3A 2B4). This lecture will be given by Chris Steele, who will give us an introduction to the relationship between brain structure, motor performance, and early musical training.
