CIHR funding received for two major research projects.
Our lab is fortunate to receive funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (Fall 2020 competition) as co-Applicant on two new research projects.

It’s Springtime for the Grassroots.
Our engagement towards the betterment of neuroscience research via open-science practices.

New article shows causal role of right auditory cortex in pitch learning.
This new article published in NeuroImage is the fruit of another successful collaboration with Robert Zatorre’s lab, also at the Montreal Neurological Institute.

New case report of rare pediatric seizure data captured with MEG.
We report in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience a rare case of ictal (seizure) MEG recording of pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy.

New open source software tool for clinical multimodal imaging.
We publish today in Journal of Digital Imaging a new cool, simple and practical software tool : "MNI SISCOM for Subtracting Ictal Single-Photon Emission CT Coregistered to MRI." The code is free and openly available for everyone to give a try and improve.

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

New paper in Journal of Neuroscience.
Inspired by fMRI approaches, we developed a new MEG inter-subject analysis approach to study the cortical synchronization of stimulus-driven neural responses during the perception of continuous natural speech and its relationship to individual musical training.

Major extension of Brainstorm support of NWB data types.
Former lab graduate (co-supervised with Dr. Chris Pack) Konstantinos Nasiotis delivers extended Brainstorm support of the expansive @NeurodataWB electrophysiology data standard.

Dr. Raymundo Cassani joins our lab as key developer, Brainstorm project.
Raymundo joins us with strong experience in data analytics and neuroscience research and applications.

Lab graduate delivers updated live dashboard of COVID-19 stats in Montreal.
A new, improved version of the COVID-19 Montreal live data dashboard by lab graduate Dr. Jeremy Moreau.

New article out in Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics.
This new paper is another milestone in our ongoing collaboration with Prof Roy W Dudley (Montreal Children’s Hospital) on multimodal imaging tests for epilepsy pediatrics.

New paper out in BMJ Case Reports.
Our lab and collaborators publish the first description of seizures manifesting as prosopagnosia (face blindness) in a 10-year-old child.

Nature Neuroscience article in collaboration obtains Excellence Research Award in biomedicine.
Congratulations to Dr. Baptiste Lacoste (U Ottawa) for his leadership of this successful and impactful study.

Welcome Dr. Katherine Becker!
Katie joins us from Colorado State University as new postdoctoral researcher.


Welcome Dr. Alex Wiesman!
Alex joins us as new post-doctoral researcher with prestigious NIH F32 fellowship.

Welcome Ellie Hill!
Ellie joins us from Nottingham (UK) for her PhD training in neuroscience at McGill.

Welcome Xiaobo Liu!
Xiaobo joins us with strong skills in machine learning and data science for neuroimaging.

New paper out in Neurology: Clinical Practice.
Our paper in collaboration with Prof Roy Dudley (Montreal Children’s Hospital) details two cases of pediatric epilepsy patients experiencing seizures while sleeping in the MEG. The data provides unique insight concerning the origins and nature of their seizures.

New paper out in BMJ Health & Care Informatics.
We publish in collaboration with Prof Roy W Dudley an opinion piece that reflects on one understudied aspect of AI for health: proprietary algorithms trained on big data resources that, somewhat counterintuitively, lack diversity and yield performance bias with potential negative consequences for patients and health practitioners.
