Our guest speaker this month is Hugh Garavan! <br /> <br /> Speaker: Hugh Garavan (University of Vermont)<br /> <br /> Presentation Title: Capturing individual differences in ABCD: Insights into task fMRI and cannabis use<br /> <br /> Webinar Registration - https://umassmed.zoom.us/meeting/register/mhxcAm_7R_msH3__kO0Lgg<br /> <br /> <br /> Announcement<br /> Hugh Garavan (University of Vermont, Larner Medical School; Professor in Psychiatry, Psychology) is our guest peaker this month. Hugh is a cognitive neuroscientist with very extensive experience using structural and functional neuroimaging to study cognitive control and reward processes, particularly in adolescent development, including addiction and mental health issues. He has notable leadership roles and contributions to a spectrum of longitudinal high impact neuroimaging studies and with large data sets of brain and behavioral development, including Site PI and Associate Directory roles for the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) and Healthy Brain Child Development (HBCD) studies, as well as co-founder of the ENIGMA-Addiction working group and a co-investigator on the IMAGEN project. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bio: Professor Garavan received his PhD in Cognitive Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, completed postdoctoral fellowships at Cornell University and the Medical College of Wisconsin, and was an Associate Professor in Psychology at Trinity College Dublin prior to his move to Vermont in 2011. His research uses structural and functional neuroimaging to study cognitive control and reward processes with a particular focus on adolescent development, addiction and related mental health issues. He is a co-investigator on the IMAGEN project, a longitudinal neuroimaging-genetic study of over 2,000 teens in Europe. He is a site PI and Associate Director of both the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study, a longitudinal neuroimaging-genetic study of over 11,000 children in the USA and the Healthy Brain Child Development study, a longitudinal study of over 5,000 pregnant people and their children from birth to age 10. He is PI on a T32 focused on complex systems methodologies for large neuroimaging datasets, is co-PI on two R25 grants that provide training on the ABCD and HBCD datasets to junior investigators, and is co-founder of the ENIGMA-Addiction working group which is a global neuroimaging data pooling endeavor. <br /> <br /> ReproNim: A Center for Reproducible Neuroimaging Computation David Kennedy Wed, 03 Jun 2026 2:59:44 GMT http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=10243 Applications are now open for the Vertical Interoperability Innovation Lab—a virtual workshop bringing together ~30 participants from across the biomedical data ecosystem to explore early-stage ideas for closing interoperability gaps across the research data lifecycle.<br /> <br /> Open to individuals working across the health research data ecosystem, the Lab will focus on interdisciplinary exchange and developing actionable project ideas. The program includes a 90-minute orientation on June 12, followed by five workshop sessions held between June 22–July 7.<br /> <br /> Learn moe and apply at: https://apply.knowinnovation.com/vertical-interoperability/ NITRC Community David Kennedy Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:27:48 GMT http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=10238 Modern neuroscience is increasingly data-driven.

We know that some folks use BIDS, others are encouraged to use it (by ReproNim and others), others have frustrations with it, and others choose not to use it. Come one, come all and ask or tell us about your BIDS experiences!<br /> <br /> Are you having an issue with BIDS? Come with a question.<br /> Do you have a suggestion or feedback (good or bad) for the BIDS developers? Come and talk back.<br /> Are you tired of people telling you to use BIDS? Come and tell them why you never will.<br /> <br /> Our goals for the session are to:<br /> Help people find solutions <br /> Inform ReproNim about issues with BIDS and/or its use, in order to help reduce barriers in the future<br /> Identify success stories in order to create useful tutorials and make it easier for other investigators to use BIDS<br /> <br /> If you cannot attend in person, that’s OK, feel free to email comments and questions to info@repronim.org.
