We are proud to share a major achievement from the MEG Unit at The Neuro. In response to soaring helium costs and global shortages, we installed a custom helium recovery system that significantly reduces waste and environmental impact. This new bespoke system cuts helium purchases by 90% and CO2 emissions by over 12 tons in the first year. This milestone, supported by contributions from the Brain Canada Foundation, McGill units, and dedicated researchers, ensures sustainable, reliable operations for groundbreaking neuroscience research.

As Chair of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping Council, Sylvain shares his vision for fostering a thriving neuroimaging community. He emphasizes addressing challenges like economic disparities, environmental sustainability, and expanding the scope of brain mapping while encouraging global engagement of all members of the Organization.

Sylvain has been elected Chair of the Organization, which purpose is to advance the understanding of the anatomical and functional organization of the human brain, and to promote the medical and societal applications of brain imaging methods.

OHBM is the largest scholarly Society of the field, with several international Chapters, Special Interest Groups and an annual meeting gathering 3,000 attendees.

As Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, Sylvain gave a short interview about current AI & health research efforts at McGill University to the Temerty Centre for AI Research & Education in Medicine.

Sylvain was interviewed by the magazine Science about a new study published in PLoS Biology reporting the decoding of music from the electrophysiological activity of the brain of participants.

We participate in a major international adversarial collaboration to identify the neural bases of consciousness. The New York Times reports today on our first published study and the state of affairs.

When memories try to bend the arrow of history.

Francisco Varela, brilliant intellectual, neuroscientist and free spirit, passed away 20 years ago today. Our roads crossed for a little while. Here is a short, personal account of these memories, dating back from the 17th century.

Our engagement towards the betterment of neuroscience research via open-science practices.

Sylvain was interviewed by Quanta and WIRED magazines for their piece on the "dark matter" of neural dynamics.
