External Email - Use Caution The Psychiatry Research Institute at Montefiore Einstein (PRIME), a division of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar in the field of human neuroimaging. The focus of this position will be on analyzing fMRI data as well as related MR and biological measures. Candidates should have (or be near completing) a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, radiology, engineering, or a related field, and should have a strong background in quantitative analysis. Proficiencies with at least one major neuroimaging software suite (e.g. FSL, AFNI, SPM, Freesurfer, Caret, Connectome Workbench, etc.) and Unix/Linux environment are expected. Familiarity with Matlab, Python, and/or R programming languages is a plus. Under the mentorship of Vilma Gabbay, MD, this postdoctoral scholar will be expected to advance both clinical and methodological knowledge through their postdoctoral training. Dr. Gabbay is the Director of Research at PRIME, a unique program in the greater New York metropolitan area dedicated exclusively to the study and treatment of adolescent mood and anxiety disorders, utilizing innovative neuroimaging and immunological methodologies. The neuroimaging program, led by Benjamin Ely, PhD, features high-resolution data acquisition and analysis techniques modeled on the Human Connectome Project (HCP) and is dedicated to advancing the fields of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Resources available on-campus and through long-standing collaborations include multiple research-dedicated 3T MRI scanners (Siemens Skyra, Philips Elition) with cutting-edge accelerated fMRI and edited MRS sequences, high-performance scientific computing clusters, and an extensive library of analytic and statistical software.

Training in Advanced Statistics in Neuroimaging and Genetics, Feb 15 - 26, 2021 {Disarmed}
by ROBERT CARY WELSH 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

External Email - Use Caution Hi, We are pleased to announce the course, “Training in Advanced Statistics in Neuroimaging and Genetics”, to be held virtually in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the University of Utah: The University of Utah, with funding from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, is excited to announce this two-week course. The focus of this course is to learn advanced statistical methods applied to neuroimaging and genetics, within the context of biomarker discovery. This is not an introductory course, and will teach advanced topics, such as Bayesian methods in neuroimaging, network science in neuroimaging, statistical genetics, and multi-modal predictive modeling. Course attendees are expected to already have experience with aspects of neuroimaging analysis and/or genetics. An innovation to our course is the additional 6-month follow-up, where attendees have the opportunity to meet as a group with each lecturer for a 75-minute webinar-based workshop each month. This will allow attendees to interact with faculty well after the two-week period. Additionally, attendees will have access to a slack helpline for questions surrounding implementation of methods. For more information about the course, please visit: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1bFnaAETq3u6oXPqnEueq1P3xBb_4-RCBe0_TkGjv82tzq… Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 course is being offered on-line live at a greatly reduced tuition rate of $250 (USD). There are a limited number of need-based “travel” awards (to cover tuition) available for eligible individuals. Because of the limited class size of 20 to 22, attendance is by application only. Applicants in general must be a US citizen or permanent resident, we do, however, have the ability to accommodate 1 to 3 individuals who do not meet the criteria. Applications deadline December 10th, 2020. Please visit: https://secure-web.cisco.com/1Ot11GbbN8kBPrSkhEezhtPckQLwEhCxGqjfO6pTYeKQQ6… for access to the application process. For more information, please email : advancedstatisticscourse (at) utah (dot) edu Follow us on twitter @neurostatscamp Cheers, Robert Welsh (robert.c.welsh(a)utah.edu<mailto:robert.c.welsh@utah.edu>), Course Director Anna Docherty (anna.docherty(a)utah.edu<mailto:anna.docherty@utah.edu>), Course Co-Director Department of Psychiatry University of Utah

selxavg3-sess fails without useful error message
by Paul Soulos 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

External Email - Use Caution Hello, I am trying to run selxavg3-sess but it is failing without an error message so I am not sure how to proceed. selxavg3-sess works correctly for three of my subjects but fails on the fourth. I pasted a screenshot of the final lines below. In fast_selxavg3b, I can see the print message from line 168 <https://secure-web.cisco.com/19ZB_QI5mA5XMqz-HJfk4ohW11tW-tCeW-U3GVonV7PxHP…> but never see the print message from line 193 <https://secure-web.cisco.com/1L_etSbacHu5FU_fXDblxCh1IOvTaplFBDG9DlS-issWyI…> (which is the line I see next on the subjects that run correctly), so the code is failing out somewhere between these two lines. Do you have any guidance?I tried running selxavg3-sess with the `-debug` flag but it does not include any additional information that I could see. [image: image.png]

Re: [Freesurfer] AAL Segmentation with Freesurfer {Disarmed}
by Douglas N. Greve 16 Nov '20

Please remember to post to the FS list ... That will not work because the AAL atlas is not in the same space. I think the AAL is in colin27 space, so download colin27, run recon-all, and then map the labels to the surface.

Problem with volumes of hypothalamic segmentation
by Iglesias Gonzalez, Juan E. 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

Dear all, We have found a problem with the volumes of the hypothalamic units in our recently released volume, which we are working to fix ASAP. So, just to be clear the segmentations are fine, but the estimations of the volumes of the nuclei (i.e., the CSV files) are not. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. We’ll let you know when the problem has been fixed (hopefully a matter of days). Kind regards, Eugenio Juan Eugenio Iglesias Senior research fellow CMIC (UCL), MGH (HMS) and CSAIL (MIT) http://www.jeiglesias.com
