Welcome Sylvain Baillet!

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Sylvain Baillet has been recruited to head the BIC’s new MEG facility. Sylvain Baillet is a physicist with research interests in methodological developments for functional and structural brain imaging and their application to clinical and cognitive Neuroscience. Although his primary expertise is with MEG imaging, he also contributed new techniques for MRI image segmentation and inter-subject registration. He has initiated new image analysis techniques for the early prediction of infarct growth in stroke patients, using diffusion-weighted MR sequences. His current research projects with MEG include real-time therapeutic imaging, the evaluation of resting-state brain activity and connectivity in the healthy and diseased brain, and the development of original visualization techniques for time-resolved brain image series. He is a founding developer of the BrainStorm open-source software project http://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm for MEG and EEG imaging.
