You have a long list of awards which I won’t specify in detail today but this is, I think this is a testimony to the excellence of your work in the field of child development. Before we talk about your research experience could you please tell us about your background? I’d like to start with your family history. I know you were born and raised in Montreal and you come from a very well known family. Your grandfather, if I am not mistaken was Premier of Quebec and well I think it would be important for our readers to know more about your own parents, their education, their occupation and how this might have influenced your own career.

A-1666 University of Saskatchewan 3 Spring Convocation 2007 The graduation lists shown in this program were prepared prior to Convocation and may not reflect final college decisions regarding each student’s eligibility for graduation. As a result, some of the students listed in this program may not have been formally approved to receive the degree or diploma indicated. The Registrar maintains the official list of graduates. All photos are from University Archives, unless otherwise noted. President’s Message PETER MacKINNON I want to express a very warm welcome to the graduates, families and friends who join us today. Convocation is the University’s most important ceremony, for it is here that we celebrate the accomplishments of our students and the contributions of their loved ones to their success. You should be proud of this day and of the commitment and sacrifice that it represents. In this our Centennial year, we at the University of Saskatchewan are especially proud of our accomplishments over the past 100 years, and it is thanks in large part to you, our students, who have helped us to achieve our goal of building a world- class institution of higher learning. As we celebrate our successes with pride and anticipate our future with excitement, the University of Saskatchewan is ready to expand on the original vision of our founders. Our mission now is to engage fully in all we do, to enlighten all we serve, and to explore all aspects of our world.

ISNR. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC-BY). KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS Harnessing Brain Plasticity: The Future of Neurotherapeutics Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD Neuroscience Imaging Center and Neuroscape Lab Principal Investigator, Gazzaley Lab, University of California, San Francisco, California, USA A fundamental challenge of modern society is the development of effective approaches to enhance brain function and cognition in both healthy and impaired individuals. For the healthy, this serves as a core mission of our educational system and for the cognitively impaired this is a critical goal of our medical system. Unfortunately, there are serious and growing concerns about the ability of either system to meet this challenge. I will describe an approach developed in our lab that uses custom-designed video games to achieve meaningful and sustainable cognitive enhancement (e.g., Anguera et al., 2013), as well the next stage of our research program, which uses video games integrated with technological innovations in software (e.g., brain computer interface algorithms, Neurofeedback, GPU computing) and hardware (e.g., virtual reality headsets, mobile EEG, transcranial electrical brain stimulation) to create a novel personalized closed-loop system. I will share with you a vision of the future in which video games serve as an underlying engine to enhance our brain’s information processing systems, thus reducing our reliance on non-specific drugs to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions and allowing us to better target our educational efforts.

  • A Last-Year Student Awarded a Major National Grant
    Press Release For immediate publication A last-year student awarded a major national grant Montréal, September 30, 2016 — L’École supérieure de ballet du Québec is proud to announce that Étienne Gagnon-Delorme, a senior in its professional program, is the recipient of the Hnatyshyn Foundation’s grant for Dance. This $10,000 grant was awarded by a jury consisting of experts from Canada’s arts community. Established by the late Right Honourable Ramon John Hnatyshyn, the twenty-fourth Governor-General of Canada, the Hnatyshyn Foundation invests in and supports, at the most fundamental level, “the development of world-class artists of tomorrow.” “Étienne is an extremely gifted dancer and we’ve had the pleasure of working with him on the discovery of his many talents,” stated Anik Bissonnette, Artistic Director of l’École supérieure de ballet du Québec. She went on to add: “This well-deserved grant is the result of several years of passion, sustained effort, and a peerless work ethic. We are delighted that he has been recognized in this way by the Hnatyshyn Foundation.” Admitted to l’École supérieure’s professional dance program in 2013, Étienne has distinguished himself as both a performer and a choreographer. Last year, he joined the Grands Ballets Canadiens for the Nutcracker and, this fall, for Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Romeo & Juliet. About Anik Bissonnette As principal dancer of Montréal’s Grands Ballets Canadiens for close to 17 years, Anik Bissonnette distinguished herself both at home and abroad, receiving critical acclaim for her classical technique as well as her great musical sensibility.

Participants’ perceptual reports of distortions were classiWed as solid, bent right/left, thinned at the center, or broken. The major- ity of patients (72%) reported symmetrical distortions of the line pre-operatively. After surgery, participants with larger MHs were more likely to retain residual distortions. Of particular interest is the group reporting thinning of the line preoperatively, as the center should be perceptually missing. Examination of MH diameters in relation to the line perceptions indicated that the shape of the perceived line can be explained at the retinal level, while its continuity must be perceptually created at the cortical level. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

  • Deep Learning-Based Electroencephalography
    DEEP LEARNING-BASED ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY ANALYSIS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Yannick Roy∗ Hubert Banville∗ Isabela Albuquerque Alexandre Gramfort Faubert Lab Inria MuSAE Lab Inria Université de Montréal Université Paris-Saclay INRS-EMT Université Paris-Saclay Montréal, Canada Paris, France & Université du Québec Paris, France [email protected] InteraXon Inc. Montréal, Canada Toronto, Canada Tiago H. Falk Jocelyn Faubert MuSAE Lab Faubert Lab INRS-EMT Université de Montréal Université du Québec Montréal, Canada Montréal, Canada ABSTRACT Context. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a complex signal and can require several years of train- ing, as well as advanced signal processing and feature extraction methodologies to be correctly interpreted. Recently, deep learning (DL) has shown great promise in helping make sense of EEG signals due to its capacity to learn good feature representations from raw data. Whether DL truly presents advantages as compared to more traditional EEG processing approaches, however, remains an open question. Objective. In this work, we review 156 papers that apply DL to EEG, published between Jan- uary 2010 and July 2018, and spanning different application domains such as epilepsy, sleep, brain- computer interfacing, and cognitive and affective monitoring. We extract trends and highlight inter- esting approaches from this large body of literature in order to inform future research and formulate recommendations. Methods. Major databases spanning the fields of science and engineering were queried to identify relevant studies published in scientific journals, conferences, and electronic preprint repositories. arXiv:1901.05498v2 [cs.LG] 20 Jan 2019 Various data items were extracted for each study pertaining to 1) the data, 2) the preprocessing methodology, 3) the DL design choices, 4) the results, and 5) the reproducibility of the experiments.
