Journal Clubs and Focused Group Meetings

MartinoSCAN

MartinoSCAN is a weekly meeting concerned with Cognitive Neuroimaging. We discuss current topics in Cognitive Neuroscience such as language, memory, vision, and the basis of psychiatric disorders, with evidence from methodologies for imaging or remotely measuring underlying brain function. The format includes presentations of original work (and work in progress) and discussion of the literature.

Meetings are held on Tuesdays at 4pm, in Building 36, 4th floor conference room. Martinos Center and outside speakers are strongly encouraged to participate! Contact Dr. Kelly Giovanello for more information or to be added to the schedule.

MEG Users Group

Topics of interest to investigators using or planning to use MEG in their research, including discussion of literature, works in progress, techniques, equipment updates, etc. Meets every Friday, 12:00-1:00pm. Location is announced via the MEGscan mailing list.

 

MRI Safety Journal Club

The purpose of this club is to discuss safety issues in MRI, both from a biological and an electromagnetic perspective.
This club meets Friday afternoons. Location depends on estimated attendence. For more information or to be placed on the mailing list, contact Leonardo Angelone.

 

Physio Data Club

The MGH Physio Data Club meets approximately every other Monday to discuss the use of autonomic measures (skin conductance, heart rate and breathing rate) in psychological research. Many of the participants are involved in neuroimaging research, so there is a strong emphasis in this area (e.g. neural substrates associated with changes in physiological measures). Usually participants present their own data (either completed or in progress), though occasionally we discuss a relevant journal article. The group is open to anyone interested in psychophysiological research. Contact Sara Lazar to be put on the mailing list.

MGH Psychiatric Neuroimaging Seminars

This is a weekly series that provides a forum for active dissemination and discussion of recent findings in the psychiatric neuroimaging field. Most meetings feature presentations of original fMRI, DTI or PET research on the etiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of psychiatric and/or neurological illness. Journal club discussions are also featured on a monthly basis. Meetings are held on Mondays from 11-12 in CNY149-2622. The moderator of this group is Randy Gollub, MD, PhD. For more information or to be added to the schedule, please contact Randy Gollub. For access to the speaker schedule, or to be added to the mailing list, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mghPNS/, click "Join this Group" and follow the instructions.

Software Engineering Journal Club

Discussion of best practices and other topics relevant for those developing software for data analysis and image processing at the Martinos Center. Meets Wednesdays, 2:00pm in the 1st floor Education Center (former CSRL) Conference room. To subscribe to the mailing list go to https://mail.nmr.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/martinos-dev. For more information contact Josh Snyder or Kevin Teich.

 

Martinos Center MIT Student Seminar Series

Why.N.How Tutorial Series

Each month, we organize two tutorials / workshops that shares a common theme: the first tutorial of the series aims to introduce WHY we use a particular tool in neuroimaging. We provide a bird's eye view of the application of this tool and we also discuss some of the fundamental theory and assumptions surrounding this tool that are relevant to our experimental designs and subsequent data interpretations. The second tutorial of the series focuses on HOW to turn the cranks of this tool. We review how to use the common features offered by this tool and working through example programs and data sets. Tutorial topics and materials can be found in our wiki page.
