Friday kicked off the 14th Annual Vision Sciences Society Conference in sunny St. Pete's Beach.
Heard great talks from:
I presented my first of two posters on modulation of alpha power during kinaesthetic motor imagery by eye state. Met some great people and got some good feedback,and Sunday I was at the Banyan Breezeway from 2:45-6:45pm at Poster #412 presenting the results of my fMRI project on EBA activity during observation and visualization of a learned dance sequence, and motor execution!
Also a major thumbs up to all the fantastic people representing York University and the CVR! Great talks and presentations that promoted all of the hard work being done!

| Great pancakes by Gunnar Blohm |
- Ariel Rokem led the symposium on white matter tracking in the visual system (abstracts here) and kicked us off with a great summary of tractography, diffusion tensor imaging, and shared LiFE - a computational toolbox developed with Franco Pestilli to evaluate the quality of white-matter connectomes generated using diffusion-weighted imaging and fiber tractography
- Kendrick Kay - whose website has MatLab/statistics tutorials and nonlinear function codes (and also had an official 'rant' section of his very clear and humorous talk)
- Jeremy Freeman - how to make 'naturalistic' textures and scenes, and not just scrambled nonsensical images (and his lab is hiring! really cool work on scanning whole brains of behaving fish and mice)
- Thomas Naselaris - described pattern classifiers for imagined stimuli using voxel-wise modelling and decoding (VWMD) to show that representations of low-level features are present even in complex mental images.
