MEG at McGill
3801 University Street Montreal, QC, Canada

Every high-school physics student learns that sound and light travel at very different speeds. If the brain did not account for this difference, it would be muc...h harder for us to tell where sounds came from, and how they are related to what we see. Published today, a study from the lab of Sylvain Baillet, a researcher at The Neuro and McGill University, shows how our brains compensate for drastically different sound and vision processing speeds, to make sense of our complex environment. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG) from the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre - BIC, they showed that this brain feat was enabled by a unique interaction between fast and slow brain waves in auditory and visual brain regions https://www.mcgill.ca//study-shows-how-our-brains-sync-hea

To make sense of our complex environments, incl. social interactions, brain circuits actively make physiological adjustments to better anticipate & predict the ...nature & timing of external stimulations. In this new paper, we propose & show empirical evidence for the Dynamic-Insertion model of multimodal sensory perception, as one new piece to complete that puzzle. https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-021-02087-0 See more

Data collected @ MEG at McGill!

New paper from the lab out today! Another great collaboration with neurosurgeon extraordinaire Dr. RWR Dudley Hôpital de Montréal pour enfants - Montréal Childr...en's Hospital! The project was driven by Saskia van Heumen, who visited us virtually from TU Delft over last summer. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1368969641012457479.html

1,800 published studies have cited Brainstorm since 2011. Thank you, Folks!

Come work with us!

Great study by one of our top users, Dr. Emily Coffey (Concordia U).

Happy to announce we are now reopening our MEG scanning operations! The system has been serviced, with 3 new, fresh sensors and COVID procedures are established, for maximum safety of investigators and participants. Contact us (DM) if you wish to get your MEG study rolling!

François has updated our What's New pages: an opportunity to stay abreast of the awesome tools we added over the past several month: FEM w/ DTI tensors, cortical flattening, faster/better MVPA, infant brain templates, etc. https://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/News

We're reporting two cases of ictal MEG in Neurology-Clinical Practice. Yes, this means Dr. Jeremy T Moreau collected & brain-mapped seizures from pediatric pat...ients recorded in MEG. https://doi.org/10.1212/CPJ.0000000000000937 Free preprint available here: https://www.researchgate.net//343913222_Overnight_ictal_ma

Just added to @brainstorm2day's distribution.: 13 infant brain templates (2 weeks to 2 y.o.) with registration to a variety of EEG nets. A fantastic and generous contribution from Christian O'Reilly (Thank you!). Paper: https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.20.162131v1
