Music practice enhances motor recovery after stroke.
We collaborated with Dr. Anouk Lamontagne’s group at McGill to show the neurophysiological effects of piano practice and how they enhance motor recovery after stroke.
The report is published in open access in the latest issue of the journal Brain Sciences.
Our new study shows how the predicting machinery of our brains syncs hearing with vision
The study is published in open-access by Communications Biology and proposes the new principle of Dynamic-Insertion as a neurophysiological mechanism used by our brains to constantly absorb and adapt to the bombardment of sensory information from multiple sources, “simultaneously”.
Olivia Bizimungu joins the lab as new graduate trainee.
Olivia will research the mechanisms of active sensori-motor inference in speech perception with computational models of neural circuits and empirical studies with MEG neurophysiology.

New article clarifies the predictive nature of auditory responses in brainstem and cortex.
Another great collaboration with Emily Coffey (Concordia U) and the Zatorre lab (McGill), demonstrating the unique ability of MEG to reveal subtle neurophysiological mechanisms of predictive processes in perception. The findings were published in The Journal of Neuroscience.
CIHR funding received for two major research projects.
Our lab is fortunate to receive funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (Fall 2020 competition) as co-Applicant on two new research projects.
It’s Springtime for the Grassroots.
Our engagement towards the betterment of neuroscience research via open-science practices.
New article shows causal role of right auditory cortex in pitch learning.
This new article published in NeuroImage is the fruit of another successful collaboration with Robert Zatorre’s lab, also at the Montreal Neurological Institute.
New case report of rare pediatric seizure data captured with MEG.
We report in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience a rare case of ictal (seizure) MEG recording of pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy.
New open source software tool for clinical multimodal imaging.
We publish today in Journal of Digital Imaging a new cool, simple and practical software tool : "MNI SISCOM for Subtracting Ictal Single-Photon Emission CT Coregistered to MRI." The code is free and openly available for everyone to give a try and improve.
Interview by Quanta & WIRED magazines.
Sylvain was interviewed by Quanta and WIRED magazines for their piece on the "dark matter" of neural dynamics.
New paper in Journal of Neuroscience.
Inspired by fMRI approaches, we developed a new MEG inter-subject analysis approach to study the cortical synchronization of stimulus-driven neural responses during the perception of continuous natural speech and its relationship to individual musical training.
Major extension of Brainstorm support of NWB data types.
