Boris Bernhardt, PhD | 'Brain and Beyond lecture: Multiscale studies of human cognitive systems
Guest Lecture (internal)
- Date: Mar 18, 2024
- Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
- Speaker: Boris Bernhardt, PhD
- Boris Bernhardt is Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery and a Canada Research Chair at the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
- Brain and Beyond: His lab studies the role of structural and functional network organization in human cognition in neurotypical individuals and populations with atypical brain development, notably people with epilepsy and autism. To this end, they develop neuroinformatics approaches that integrate connectome models with multimodal neuroimaging, histology, and transcriptomics techniques. His team made multiple tools for multiscale neuroscience openly available (e.g., http://micapipe.readthedocs,io, brainstat.readthedocs.io, brainspace.readthedocs.io, enigma-toolbox.readthedocs.io, bigbrainwarp.readthedocs.io, http://hippomaps.readthedocs.io) and they shared several high-def datasets with the community (https://www.nitrc.org/projects/mni-hisub25, https://portal.conp.ca/dataset?id=projects/mica-mics) Dr Bernhardt is work package leader of the Hiball project (https://bigbrainproject.org/hiball.html) and Associate Leader of the Neuroinformatics & Computational Modelling theme of Healthy Brains and Healthy Lives at McGill University (https://www.mcgill.ca/hbhl).

Dr. Bernhardt talk will overview new resources, tools, and analytics to study the human brain across multiple spatial scales. He will illustrate how these approaches can help to understand the functional organization of specific regions, such as the hippocampus, and the role of large-scale systems, such as the default mode network, in the human brain.
