Our lab and collaborators publish the first description of seizures manifesting as prosopagnosia (face blindness) in a 10-year-old child.

Congratulations to Dr. Baptiste Lacoste (U Ottawa) for his leadership of this successful and impactful study.

Our paper in collaboration with Prof Roy Dudley (Montreal Children’s Hospital) details two cases of pediatric epilepsy patients experiencing seizures while sleeping in the MEG. The data provides unique insight concerning the origins and nature of their seizures.

We publish in collaboration with Prof Roy W Dudley an opinion piece that reflects on one understudied aspect of AI for health: proprietary algorithms trained on big data resources that, somewhat counterintuitively, lack diversity and yield performance bias with potential negative consequences for patients and health practitioners.

Our group contributed to a study led by Dr. Baptiste Lacoste (U Ottawa) which sheds new light on the understudied role of vascular physiology in the development of syndromes on the autistic spectrum.

The structure of brain networks impose constraints on how neural signals circulate spontaneously or in response to external stimuli. We show in this study driven by Prof Esther Florin that pre-stimulus and resting-state activity indeed have similarities with post-stimulus responses.

This new study leverages the power of big-data analytics to create a practical app that can help doctors draw informed prognosis for patients affected by brain tumors (meningiomas).

We publish a new study that combines artificial intelligence with neurophysiological data to account for how the brain constantly issues active predictions of language contents in natural speech.

Paying attention to the source causing pain augments the feeling of pain, as opposed to when attending a distracting stimulus. In collaboration with Prof Petra Schweinhardt, we show the neurophysiological correlates of this percept, which emphasize oscillatory brain activity in the somatosensory cortex in the beta frequency range (15-35Hz).
