Dear MNN members,
Dr. Randy McIntosh is invited to give a talk on January 8th at 11am. We will host a trainee lunch at 12pm-ish. I believe that the detailed information will be circulated later.
Dr. McIntosh is a Professor, BC Leadership Chair in Neuroscience and Technology Transfer Across the Lifespan, and Director of Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology at SFU (
https://www.armcintosh.com/home).
He founded The Virtual Brain (TVB: https://www.thevirtualbrain.org/tvb/zwei) which is a brain simulation platform that bridges multi-scale, multi-modal data.
According to the website, “TVB simulates and generates the time courses of various forms of neural activity including Local Field Potentials (LFP) and firing rate, as well as brain imaging data such as EEG (electroencephalography), MEG (magnetoencephalography) and BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent contrast) activations as observed in fMRI.”
My plan is to import this TVB to UofM, so that it can be used as a bridge between human brain imagers (like myself) and other neuroscientists to forge a cutting-edge method-based collaboration.
Please let me know if you are interested in meeting him in person.
He will leave for the airport at 3:30pm on January 8th.
If anyone is interested, please let me know with your available time on January 8th (Monday) from 9am to 3:30pm (except for 11am-1:15pm).
Best,
Ji Hyun

Dear colleagues,
I hope you had a great summer. The Canadian Brain Research Strategy is ramping up our activities, and we warmly invite your participation.
I would like to invite you for a 90min Zoom meeting that will be held on Thursday October 26th, 12-1:30 pm PT / 3-4:30 pm ET.
CBRS Early & Mid-Career Researchers Meeting
Time: Oct 26, 2023 12 – 1:30 pm PT / 3 – 4:30 pm ET
Join Zoom Meeting: https://mit.zoom.us/my/canadianbrain?pwd=dUxKYUwvTlBnYTVuZzhHZEJXZkVWQT09
Meeting ID: 514 713 8614
Passcode: 1530264
This virtual meeting will include brief presentations from Jennie Young (CBRS CEO), Derya Sargin, Caroline Menard, and myself (E-MCR representatives in CBRS Leadership) with three main objectives:
1. Current state of the national research strategy, progress and future directions
2. Getting your input on optimizing resources to build talent and research in Canada (via chat or live discussion)
3. Joining in advocacy efforts led by Early- and Mid-Career Researchers
Our email list is not comprehensive. So, we encourage you to extend this invitation to all early- or mid-career colleagues; those within approximately 10 years since their faculty appointment are especially welcome!
For your immediate reference and insight into our recent activities, documents produced for politicians, and more, please visit https://bit.ly/CAN2023_CBRSUpdate.
I eagerly anticipate reconnecting with many of you soon, even if it's virtually this time around.
