ABSTRACTS A Tradition of Innovation for Research www.rogue-research.com [email protected] For almost 20 years, Rogue Research has been creating new and innovative tools that help you do your best in your research. We are proud to be one of the first sponsors of NBL and grateful for the trust you have placed in us over these years. We are continuing our drive for innovation with the resealse of our new cTMS device which provides more control over the pulse shape and opens new doors for TMS research. Brainsight® TMS • Integrated 2-channel EMG for threshold and motor mapping • Supports all TMS coils • Define targets based on anatomy, MNI coordinates, functional overlay or previous coil locations • Automatic 3D reconstruction • Supports Axilum robot Controllable TMS • First new TMS design in years • Variable pulse widths • Controllable pulse shapes • Unidirectional and bi-phasic rTMS • Quadripulse • Unidirectional theta burst • Built-in EMG • External control via network • Modern touch screen UI Brainsight® NIRS • Brainsight controlled • Modular design • Up to 32 High sensitivity detectors to measure signals from the cortex • Dedicated proximity detectors • Up to 100 Hz sampling • 8 aux channels with 8kHz sampling • Low profile optodes compatible with TMS, EEG, MRI and MEG Welcome to the Tenth Annual Meeting of the Society for the Neurobiology of Language HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! The Society for the Neurobiology of Language has been thriving and growing since the first meeting in Chicago in 2009, and it is time to celebrate! This year we expanded the meeting to three whole days, to accommodate an amazing program, featuring four keynote lectures (Robert Zatorre, Dorothee Saur, Morten Christiansen, and Julie Fiez), talks by our Early Career (Bharath Chandrasekaran and Pascale Tremblay) and Distinguished Career (Steven Small) awardees, and a panel discussion about the past, present, and future of our field (moderated bySophie Scott). In addition to these special events, our scientific program features three slide sessions and five poster sessions – each preceded by a poster slam where eight selected presenters highlight their findings in one minute (one clap for each!). The evening before the meeting, we are hosting a public lecture (by Robert Laforce and Noémie Auclair-Ouellet) focused on neurodegenerative disorders of language, targeting the local French-speaking people of Québec. The goal of this new initiative is to raise awareness to issues related to the neurobiology of language among the population of the host city, and to disseminate the products of research in our field to the general public. Our keynote speakers will explore the neurobiology of language from the perspectives of language evolution, neural plasticity, recovery of the language pathways after stroke, and the reading brain. This 10th anniversary meeting is an excellent opportunity to take stock of the achievements within our field and to discuss the challenges and goals for the next 10 years – bring your questions and join the panel discussion with our past SNL chairs on Saturday morning. For all sessions, we have left plenty of room for lively discussions, and I encourage speakers and session chairs to call on junior scientists to ask the first questions. Please join us for the opening night reception at the fabulous Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (a lovely 15-minute walk from the Convention Centre) where you will be treated to Québec traditional music while enjoying excellent Canadian cuisine. For student and postdoctoral researchers, we have set up a networking opportunity for you to meet each other: Look for the “Gotta Catch ‘Em All: Scientist Edition” worksheet at the welcome table and have fun (there will be prizes)! Please also join us in celebrating our 10th anniversary with Prosecco and cake at the Friday evening social hour. I would like to thank the Program Committee for putting together an exciting scientific program: Manuel Carreiras, Jim Magnuson, Clara Martin, with special thanks to Michal Ben-Shachar as Chair of the Program Committee, and to Pascale Tremblay as Head of the local organizers. Shauney Wilson, Shawna Lampkin, and their team also deserve a round of applause for their skill in running this meeting. Thanks also to all who took time to review and provide feedback for the abstract submissions. Finally, I am thrilled to announce that our Society will be joining with MIT Press to launch a new open access journal titled Neurobiology of Language. Please talk with Steve Small, Kate Watkins, or any board member to find out how SNL members can get involved and benefit from reduced publications costs. Come to the business meeting at the end of the conference to learn more!
