Birgit is the recipient of the Michael Prize 2019 of the International League against Epilepsy. The Michael Prize is one of the highest regarded international awards for the contributions to clinical and experimental research in epileptology to investigator <45 years.
- Great news for the lab: Véronique, Petr, and Laure, who will join our lab in July 2019, are recipients of the prestigious MNI fellowship awards 2019. Véronique received the Jeanne Timmins Costello fellowship for her project on improvement of memory in epilepsy by intracranial stimulation. Petr received the Molson Neuroengineering award for his project focusing on developing a multimarker interictal algorithm for a more accurate and time-saving identification of the epileptic focus. Laure received the Preston Robb award for her project focusing on disentangling the reciprocal relationships between epilepsy and sleep using SEEG.
- Tamir received an IPN entrance award for his project "Developing and validating novel non-invasive neuroimaging markers based on high-density EEG (HD-EEG) for prediction of the epileptogenic zone".
- Jessica is the recipient of a CONP scholar award. Her awarded project focuses on socio-affective networks in healthy and epileptic brains using multimodal RI and HD-EEG.
- Véronique has been accepted to participate in the Fellows Program at the 2018 AES Annual Meeting in Houston.
- Alex received a research fellowship for her project “When should we better not implant: predictors of focality of the epileptogenic zone as assessed with SEEG” from the Austrian League against Epilepsy.
- Birgit received the Young Investigator Award of the International League against Epilepsy – Commission of European Affairs. 2018.
- Birgit received a Salary Award “Chercheur‐boursier clinicien Junior 2” of the FRSQ for her research program “Dépasser l’enregistrement des crises dans l’unité de surveillance: vers un diagnostic de l’épilepsie meilleur et plus rapide“. 2018-2021.
- Birgit received the project grant “Development of novel EEG markers to separate sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy from NREM parasomnias” of the Savoy Epilepsy Foundation. Effective 2018-2019.
- Birgit is a co-applicant on Christophe Grova's CIHR grant “The importance of connector hubs in focal epilepsy: a multimodal investigation“, 2018-2023. Congratulations Christophe for this big success.
- Birgit received start-up funding of the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital to build her research program in clinical neurophysiology and epilepsy. Effective 2017-2021.
