* Two starting projects were outlined for BIRN - Med College Wisconsin collaborations:
−
1) Beginning with Attention and Working Memory as the areas to flesh out in the Behavioral domains: Ask the experts (A. Belger responded re: attention already), and check the textbooks (Jess). With an updated taxonomy (Angie), Angie can pull out papers previously stored as "Attention" and improve their descriptions (this is a long-term goal, not by April 29). This serves as another method of validation.
 
−
 
 
−
Note that dividing Attention into "voluntary" and "involuntary" allows the distinction between the FBIRN Phase I MMN and the FBIRN Phase II Oddball to be represented in this dimension.
 
−
 
 
−
2) Jess will do a search of UMLS on attention and working memory to get a handle on how those concepts are represented (or not). She is also in contact with the Ontology Task Force regarding the relationship between the BIRN HID and the Mediator and how the ontologies are accessed; this will affect how the taxonomy being developed here is used to best advantage.
 
−
 
 
−
3) Take an FBIRN Phase I analysis done in SPM (e.g., the MMN data for the two subjects at UCI) and represent the final results of one contrast in the BrainMap Submit method (Jess, then Angie). The current description was a quick toy based on an abstract notion of the experiment and not driven by an actual table of MNI-space maximal clusters.

      • Actions:

    • Characterization of MCW's magnet stability using fBIRN's protocols

MCW is currently taking possession of a short bore 3T GE scanner, and can use the FBIRN agar phantom protocol as a measure of the GE's stability and temporal dynamics. GE has seen this before, since UCSD used the same standards. FBIRN will send MCW an agar phantom as soon as they are delivered (currently ordered); in the meantime, MCW can start with the doped-water version of the 17-cm spherical phantom they have.

      • Actions
        • The next step is for FBIRN (Jess) to send Vinay the FBIRN agar/stability phantom protocol, using the Phase II version, as well as the agar recipe and the analysis methods.(DONE)
        • MCW (Vinay) will collect the data and share the results with the FBIRN (via Gary).
    • Other projects discussed but not proposed for immediate action included possible interactions with Ted DeYoe (MCW) who has a legacy dataset of multiple subjects studied multiple times for retinal mapping; interactions with MCW in the development of the Smart Phantom, as proposed by the FBIRN in their renewal; and comparing Siemen's B0 mapping that FBIRN is using as part of their Phase II protocol, which dovetails with the FSL-standard correction method, with the methods MCW has developed.
