What’s new on the QBIN blog
On the sixth episode of the QBIN podcast, Béry Mohammediyan interviews Dr. Lea T. Grinberg, professor at the University of California San Francisco, about her career path and her role in the creation of the Brain Bank in Brazil.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can be a challenge to understand for anyone who is new to the field. In her latest blog post, PhD student Flavie Detcheverry guides us through the basics of what MRI is and the physics of how it works.
On the fifth episode of the QBIN podcast (in French), Béry Mohammediyan speaks to Professor Mathieu Roy to talk about bio-imaging and pain. They explore how bio-imaging has helped researchers like Professor Roy to better understand pain, which is complex and hard to treat.
In this blog post, McGill student Vanessa Krohn, delves into the fascinating world of research in pain management. By sharing some of the research conducted in the Roy Pain lab, she explores how distraction and the flow experience can influence pain perception positively, and how this fascinating research can be used to develop more effective and personalized pain management techniques.
On the fourth episode of the QBIN podcast Béry Mohammediyan interviews our 2023 William Feindel Lecturer, Dr. Sandra Black about her remarkable career and her views on research and patient care.
At the conclusion of this year’s scientific day, attendees gathered for a cocktail reception to network and discuss their research. Ikrame Housni, a member of the student and postdoc communications committee, interviewed a few attendees, capturing their insights on the event and advice for young researchers.
In this third episode of the QBIN podcast (in French), Béry Mohammediyan talks about sleep and neuroimaging with postdoctoral researchers Claire André and Valentin Ourry.
In this second episode of the QBIN podcast, Béry Mohammediyan interviews this year’s Rising Star in Bio-imaging in Quebec award recipient, Dr. Matthieu Pelletier-Galarneau.
In our everyday lives, we all process and recognize hundreds of different objects, and although we may not think about it, developing this ability is actually an intricate learning process. Much like people, machines can be taught object recognition by mimicking the learning process of the human brain. In this piece, Master’s student Ikrame Housni explains the basics of Deep Learning and how it can be useful for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases.
In honour of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which takes place each year in February, we would like to give a shout out to all the wonderful women of QBIN. This short piece by Giulia Baracchini brings a personal perspective on how we can support each other towards a more equitable academia.
