DESCRIPTION:Dr. Philippe Albouy presents\, 'Causal role of brain oscillatio
 ns\, large-scale synchronization\, and cross-frequency interactions in wor
 king memory'. \n\nRegistration available here. \n\nSpeaker: Philippe Albou
 y\, Ph.D.\n\nCERVO Brain Research Centre\, School of Psychology\, Laval Un
 iversity\, Quebec\, QC\, Canada\n\nInternational Laboratory for Brain\, Mu
 sic and Sound Research (BRAMS)\; Centre for Research in Brain\, Language a
 nd Music\; Montreal\, QC\, Canada\n\nAbstract: Several prior studies using
  MEG\, EEG and iEEG have shown that local brain oscillations as well as la
 rge-scale connectivity in multiple frequencies are enhanced in working mem
 ory (WM) in humans. Yet the specific functional and causal roles of these 
 oscillations in the representation of different kinds of sensory informati
 on in memory are poorly understood. I will discuss our recent studies usin
 g source-reconstructed MEG / EEG as well as iEEG data in WM that aim to de
 fine the specific fingerprints of large-scale networks underlying the main
 tenance of feature-specific information and contents of auditory WM.\n\nSe
 cond\, I will discuss the causal relationship between fronto-parietal thet
 a oscillations and working memory performance by presenting studies combin
 ing information-based neuromodulation (rhTMS/visual rhythmic stimulation/M
 EG/EEG) and longitudinal WM training. I will show how such optimized non-i
 nvasive brain stimulation procedure (targeting functional relevant oscilla
 tory metrics) can enhance brain plasticity and improve behaviour. In summa
 ry\, I will speak about how different oscillations and their within-freque
 ncy and cross-frequency interactions coordinate memory formation.\n\nBio: 
 Dr. Philippe Albouy is assistant professor in cognitive neuroscience at th
 e psychology department of Laval University\, a regular researcher at CERV
 O Brain Research Centre (Quebec city)\, at the International Laboratory fo
 r Brain\, Music and Sound Research (BRAMS)\, at the Centre for Research in
  Brain\, Language and Music (CRBLM) and a FRQ-S Junior 1 Scholar. He recei
 ved his PhD in Neuroscience in 2013 from Lyon 1 University (France\, with 
 Dr Barbara Tillmann and Dr Anne Caclin) where he used multimodal neuroimag
 ing approaches (MEG\, fMRI\, EEG\, iEEG) to study the brain dynamics relat
 ed to auditory perception and working memory in humans. In 2014\, he joine
 d the Montreal Neurological Institute of 91µ¼º½ÊÓƵ\, first as a FY
 SSEN\, then as a Banting postdoctoral Fellow in Pr Robert Zatorre’s and Pr
  Sylvain Baillet’s groups. His work focuses on the identification of the c
 ausal links between the dynamics of neural activity and human cognitive fu
 nctions. In his research he combines multimodal neuroimaging data and info
 rmation-based neuromodulation methods (i.e.\, online TMS/visual stimulatio
 n configured to match specific ongoing spatiotemporal patterns of neural a
 ctivity) with the aim of causally enhancing cognitive abilities in health 
 and disease. His overarching interests are in the translational impact of 
 such optimized neuromodulation approaches as personalized therapeutic tool
 s and preventive solutions for pathology-associated neurocognitive deficit
 s.\n\n\nThe Feindel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advan
 ce the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the 
 Neuro (1972–1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms.
  The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsyc
 hology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will inclu
 de scientists from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborat
 ors locally and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a
  virtual forum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisc
 iplinary exchanges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain an
 d cognitive disorders.\n
