ReproNim is pleased to announce an upcoming workshop:<br />
<br />
Neuroimaging, Reproducibility and LLMs: Early promises and future questions<br />
<br />
Date: October 16th 9:30am - 1:00pm EDT (In person only)<br />
Location: MIT - Singleton Auditorium, Building 46 (3rd floor, 3002), 43 Vassar St, Cambridge, MA 02139<br />
Registration: Required but free and open to all! Register at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/neuroimaging-reproducibility-and-llms-early-promises-and-future-question-tickets-1999618019324?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true<br />
<br />
The objective of this in-person workshop is to introduce the technology and train neuroscience / neuroimaging researchers on the potential of Large Language Models in brain imaging research. To achieve this, we will show and discuss key directions for which LLMs have - and will have - a fundamental impact, review and contrast research project examples, introduce latest techniques, and discuss potential limitations and risks associated with this transformative technology.<br />
<br />
Speakers will include: JB Poline (McGill), David Kennedy (UMassMed), Brent McPherson (McGill), Michelle Wang (McGill), Yaroslav Halchenko (Dartmouth), Johanna Bayer (McGill), and Satra Ghosh (MIT).ReproNim: A Center for Reproducible Neuroimaging ComputationDavid KennedyThu, 10 Sep 2026 12:40:33 GMTCONN functional connectivity workshop 2026

Last call for registration to the CONN 2026 functional connectivity workshop. This workshop will take place ONLINE over five consecutive weeks with 3-½ hour classes on Mondays and Thursdays from 12pm to 3:30pm UTC , starting on Thursday September 10th and ending on Monday October 12th 2026 (see https://conn-toolbox.org/workshops for course schedule, content, and registration details).<br />
<br />
The CONN toolbox workshop offers intensive hands-on and highly interactive courses covering all aspects of functional connectivity analyses in CONN, and both beginners and advanced users are welcome. Classes take place over Zoom. Zoom meetings of each class are recorded and made available to students to view at any time during the course. and up to one month after the course ends There are also practice homework assignments, and faculty is available during office-hour segments for additional student questions or support.<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 />
