Faculty Meeting Opportunity w/ Next MNN Visiting Speaker Dr. Randy McIntosh
by Protiti Khan 14 Dec '23

14 Dec '23

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).
