On November 5th at noon Eastern Time, I will be talking about my research from my roots in mind wandering 💭 and functional connectivity 🧠 to current work in biomarker 🩺, and how I will connect the two through neuroinformatics and data science 🚀

Poster titled "Neuromod: The Courtois Project on Neuronal Modelling" with logos from Université de Montréal and the Centre de recherche de l'Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal.

Large bold text reads:
6 BRAINS – 987H-fMRI – 18 TASKS
Followed by the subtitle:
Naturalistic & Controlled – Multimodal / Perception + Action
Each letter in "18 TASKS" contains thumbnails from various visual tasks.

The central table summarizes 32 datasets grouped by primary domain (Vision, Audition, Language, Memory, Action, Other). For each dataset, the table indicates which stimulus modalities were used (Vision, Speech, Audio, Motion), what responses were collected (Physiology, Eye tracking, Explanations, Actions), and how many sessions and subjects were scanned. The overall visual style is playful and bold, with rainbow colors for modality types and rich iconography indicating data types.

In 2019, the CNeuroMod team and 6 participants began a massive data collection journey: twice-weekly MRI scans for most of 5 years. Data collection is now complete! 1/🧵
