WELCOME REMARKS

Welcome to the 12th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping in Florence, Italy. Given its long tradition in neuroscience, Italy is well qualified to host such an important gathering of scientists who come from every corner of the globe. Indeed, the conclusion of Italian physiologist Angelo Mosso that brain circulation changes selectively with neural activity is at the basis of the powerful methodologies that we now employ to explore neural correlates of mental function. Florence is a city whose artistic magnificence and history cannot be described adequately in words. This year’s program features the Talairach Lecture by Susumu Tonegawa, Director of the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. Keynotes lectures will be given by Giulio Tononi (Sleep and Awareness), Alfonso Caramazza (Language and Memory), Rainer Goebel (Methods), Riitta Hari (MEG), Rafael Malach (Vision and Perception), Read Montague (Social Cognition and Reward) and Dan Moran (Brain and Machine Interface). For the first time, the annual meeting will feature parallel oral sessions that will hopefully allow for more discussion of original work, and encourage the participation of younger investigators. Four one-day educational courses will be offered: Basic fMRI, Advanced fMRI, EEG/ MEG and Cognitive Neuroscience. Each day of the meeting, three morning education sessions will be presented from 8:00-9:15 am. Also, be sure to visit the exhibits, which are located in the Palazzo dei Congressi. A Board of Councilors, elected by its membership, governs the OHBM and will be present at this year_s meeting. We welcome and encourage those researchers who are attending this OHBM meeting for the first time and are not yet members to join the organization and participate in its future growth. One characteristic of the organization is that the leadership feels it is essential to include a broad base of membership in order to achieve its scientific goals. This year_s meeting reflects this philosophy by including member-proposed workshops and three member-initiated symposia. The 12th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping promises to be a memorable event from both a scientific and social perspective. We are glad you have joined us and look forward to your involvement.

Sincerely, Pietro Pietrini Chair, Local Organizing Committee Peter Bandettini Chair, OHBM Council Maurizio Corbetta Chair, OHBM Program Committee

EDUCATIONAL COURSES MEG/EEG Course U.S. CME Credits: 7.75 Sunday, June 11, 2006 Verde Room, Second Floor Palazzo dei Congressi

http://cogimage.dsi.cnrs.fr/hbm2006

With the constant development of MEG and the arrival of EEG in the MR magnet, there is a need to review the specificity of functional brain mapping using electromagnetic neural fields. The course intends to offer a review of the basics of electromagnetic brain mapping together with an open window on recent developments in the technology and methods involved. It is addressed to a multidisciplinary audience, from electrophysiologists to physicists, interested in the potentials of MEG/EEG as a brain mapping modality. This course is designed for anyone who is beginning to use Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and/or Electroencephalography (EEG) as functional brain mapping tools and will address both basic or clinical neuroscientific research questions and ‘‘state-of-the-art’’ MEG/EEG modeling and data analysis. This is the second edition of this course, which will introduce further material on basic MEG/EEG waveform analysis, in-depth review of emerging clinical applications and the introduction to recent MR techniques with great potential to cooperate with MEG/EEG analysis. Last year the audience was comprised of PhD students, post-doctoral clinical and basic research scientists, and some more senior investigators. Having completed this activity, participants should be able to:

& List the basic steps and options needed for electromagnetic mapping of neural mass activity using MEG and EEG; design an experimental protocol for clinical or basic research; summarize state-of-the-art and upcoming instrumentation developments, and discuss the respective merits and limitations of MEG and EEG; & Summarize the basic biophysics and methodology in signal processing to achieve image reconstruction and source localization from MEG/EEG surface maps (forward and inverse problems, estimators, regularization); & Discuss innovative points of view on brain electromagnetic waves (oscillating activities, induced and evoked activities) and their impacts on experimental designs and subsequent data analysis (ICA, time frequency maps, coherence and phase synchronization).

Morning Workshops Predictive and Prospective Coding Chair: Alumit Ishai, University of Zurich, Switzerland

Auditorium, Palazzo dei Congressi

This workshop reviews predictive and prospective coding. Predictive coding suggests that backward connections guide lower levels through prediction of sensory input. Prospective coding predicts future events to guide behavior. We cover the theory of perceptual learning and inference and evidence from animal studies (neural codes, plasticity) and human imaging (anticipation).

Sala Galileo and Sala Beatrice, Ground and Basement Floors, Palazzo degli Affari

Cerebral blood volume (CBV) is an important physiological parameter closely associated with brain activity, and can thus be used for brain activation studies. The overall goal of this workshop is to present emerging CBV-based fMRI techniques and to discuss their potential applications in functional human brain mapping. Joseph B.

Morning Workshops Decoding Brain States with Machine Learning Chair: Luiz Pessoa, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA

Auditorium, Palazzo dei Congressi

Speakers will present novel statistical and machine learning methods that probe whether fMRI signals can be used to reliably predict subtle perceptual or cognitive states. Such techniques go beyond the subtractive – univariate approach largely adopted in the field and have the potential to provide a richer characterization of neuroimaging data.

Sala Galileo and Sala Beatrice, Ground and Basement Floors Palazzo degli Affari

This workshop presents clustering techniques that can help revealing brain anatomo-functional organization. Usual analyses for fMRI fail to account for the important inter subject variability, and we will show that recently developed clustering and parcellation techniques may solve for this limitation and be the heart of future standard analyses.

Sensorimotor dysfunctions in stroke patients represent the first cause of longterm disability in industrialized countries. Among the actors contributing to clinical recovery, the ensemble of mechanisms referred to as ‘‘brain plasticity’’ plays a major role. Brain plasticity is defined as the ability of changing the neuronal output given the same input, i.e. signals coming from peripheral receptors or other brain areas. The main scope of this workshop is to discuss novel ideas on the development of innovative interventions able to favour and strengthen plastic cerebral abilities.

Morning Workshops Recent Advances in Cross-subject Voxelwise Analysis of DTI Data Chairs: Steve Smith, FMRIB, Oxford, UK Tom Nichols, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA

Auditorium, Palazzo dei Congressi

We discuss the problems of looking for localized (e.g. voxelwise) cross-subject patterns in diffusion data, and present new approaches for solving alignment and statistical issues. As DTI is proving to be a sensitive marker for development and disease, we consider that these issues are of importance to the imaging community.

How does our brain understand what goes on in the mind of other individuals? In this symposium we will attempt to combine evidence from three complementary research areas that have often been falsely considered as mutually exclusive: (1) mirror neurons (2) lesions in emotion-related areas and (3) theory of mind.
