The call for contributions to the Orthanc Conference 2023 is now open! Topics of interest include:

Orthanc-specific contributions:
- Real-world deployments of Orthanc (clinical departments, hospitals, regional/country-wide implementations,...).
- Scientific projects that leverage Orthanc.
- Industrial applications built using Orthanc.
- Extensions to Orthanc (scripts, plugins,...).

Contributions beyond Orthanc:
- Free, libre and open-source software (FLOSS), as well as open hardware projects, for medical imaging and digital pathology.
- FLOSS for the automated analysis of medical images (computer vision, deep learning, and machine learning).
- Healthcare interoperability through FLOSS and open standards (#DICOM, #BIDS, #NIfTI, #IIIF, #FHIR,...).

Deadline: Early September.

I love Starlings, so here's an adult (and, I believe, female) and very fluffed up European Starling with quite a mouthful of worms and insects!

I believe she is a female due to the base of the bill not being blue-ish in colour. Males generally have a blue-ish base where as females' do not. But correct me if I'm wrong!

#teaching I use a tool called https://openclass.ai/ which is a free web application that allows you to create lecture, review, and quiz assignments and promotes sharing assignments and questions.
I've shared most of my #Unix, #Docker, #BIDS, and other neuroimaging lectures and reviews. Feel free to use anything posted there, and to edit it and make it your own.

#BIDS Kudos to the creators of ezBIDS: https://brainlife.io/ezbids/

Franco Pestilli and Dan Levitas have made it so easy to upload a BIDS dataset to Brainlife through the ezBIDS interface.

And they were SO awesomely responsive to my request! Thank you so much! My students will love this....and I love it!

📣 Calling all fUS neuroscientists! We are excited to share a draft for a Bids extension proposal for standardization of functional ultrasound imaging datasets. 🧠
#fUS #standardization #neuroscience #BIDS we would love to hear your feedback.

We will also plan a Zoom session soon to discuss further the doc, stay tuned !

Very disappointed, I was going to put a bid in for Man. Utd today, but I've just discovered I may be £4,999,999,999 too short.

It also requires loyalty to your country and not your own pockets and friends.

We saw that with all the COVID tenders.

Read @bert_hubert about innovating: "It is entirely possible to tender projects in such a way that non-dominant players stand an actual chance. It is even possible to demand a European solution, or to create requirements that make it very hard for surveillance-capitalist suppliers to deliver a compliant bid. It just requires some guts and decent knowledge of procurement law."

#Neuroscience #OpenScience #BIDS

I'm doing a presentation today for my lab about a tool I made for us to keep track of the processing of our #MRI data. It has a UI and an API for us to inspect our datasets as they go through processing.

It is #BIDS compatible, fairly light-weight, and can be built on any linux/macOS.

It might be of interest to people out there, so I'm sharing my slides here.

#DeepMReye now has a wrapper for #BIDS data! https://pypi.org/project/bidsmreye/

This is great for example to decode gaze position in #fMRI datasets processed with #fMRIprep

Thank you @RemiGau for this amazing contribution to our package! w/@CYHSM

BMAT: An open-source BIDS managing and analysis tool

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213158222003175

#BIDS assists neuroimaging data sharing & analysis
🕝 Converting DICOM data into BIDS is cumbersome & time-consuming

BIDS Managing & Analysis Tool (BMAT) is open-source software
✅ BMAT helps the user to automatically convert DICOM into BIDS datasets

BMAT can be downloaded for Linux, Windows and MacOSX operating system (OS) directly from its GitHub repository

#BIDs were the city-improvement breakthrough of the 1980s and 1990s. What we need now is a rough equivalent for residential #neighborhoods. Denver has a first step, its "RNO" designation. What's needed now is a "model RNO" that others can follow. https://denverite.com/2022/12/02/with-some-funding-councilmember-kashmann-is-looking-to-bolster-neighborhood-organization-efforts/

One of my birds keep holding her boot up!

Don't know what to do about it. Can't afford a vet visit and don't want to lose her either. She is the friendliest one.
