Brain Star Award feature: Chifaou Abdallah, McGill University
Identification of two brain signal features that guide surgery in drug-resistant epilepsy Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological conditions, affecting individuals across all age groups, social classes, and geographical locations. For patients whose seizures remain uncontrolled despite optimal medical therapy, epilepsy surgery represents the most effective treatment option and offers the highest chance

Postdoctoral Fellow: Video Representation Learning & Behavioural AI – Douglas Research Centre, McGill University
Job Description: On-site — Douglas Research Centre, McGill University (Montréal, QC) Position Overview: A central focus of this role is the development of modern representation-learning pipelines that support fine-grained feature extraction (e.g., micro-actions and subtle posture or kinematic signatures), multi-scale behaviour modelling (from individual frames to seconds, minutes, and higher-order behavioural motifs), and searchable video

Funded postdoctoral position in non-human primate electrophysiology in the Michaels Lab
The Neural Control & Computation Lab at York University in Toronto, Canada, is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow. Under the direction of Jonathan Michaels, Ph.D., the fellow will investigate the neural basis of learning, flexible neural computation, and skilled movement control using large-scale electrophysiology from single-neuron populations in non-human primates, including high-density Neuropixels recordings and our

Brain Star Award winner feature: Andrea Luppi, McGill University
Lost in translation: how gene expression diverges between humans and macaque model systems Among all model organisms studied in neuroscience, the macaque is genetically closest to humans. Genetic similarity is paramount because genes exert powerful influences on brain organization, function, and dysfunction. But the potential for research to find applications in the clinic, that is
