So proud of @alaa_t_ for successfully defending his thesis. First PhD grad of the AIMS lab!🎯 Incredibly fortunate to work with him & @neuroak over the last few years on @afids_project. Thanks also to examiners @developingbrai1 @SarahMattonen @lcanresearch @EMiddlebrooksMD🙏


Grateful beyond words for your and @neuroak’s mentorship over the years. First AIMS lab PhD is a big one to carry and excited to see @afids_project grow! Huge thanks as well to exam committee for very thoughtful feedback and time!
Standing room only for @EMiddlebrooksMD talk on Clinical Applications of 7T -- a special summer grand rounds @WesternUCNS! Incredible work @MayoClinic integrating 7T. Thanks for the visit, and examining @alaa_t_'s thesis!
Had a great time visiting @jclauneuro and team at @WesternU to share experiences in 7T, neuromodulation, and much more! Big congrats to @alaa_t_! Honored to be his external PhD examiner for his phenomenal work.

I had an excellent opportunity to present the Epilepsy DBS experience from Western University at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Neuromodulation Society in Quebec City. Thanks to @jclauneuro @epilepsysurgeon & All epilepsy team at western university @westernuCNS @CanNeuromod
Celebrate freedom from archaic indirect targeting with our latest article on best practice for #7T MRI in #DBS! This multicenter project shares insights from >1,000 DBS cases using 7T! Not only can it be safely done, but allows improved precision! @TheJNS doi.org/10.3171/2025.3…
Really proud of @MohamadAbbass19 & team for pushing our preprint through to publication in @ImagingNeurosci! Hopefully the first of many in this journal. doi.org/10.1162/imag_a… Appreciate all the supportive feedback about our @afids_project during the review process.🧠🎯
Ever wondered about the current state of registration accuracy for #DBS electrodes in "MNI" space?🧠🎯 Some have used voxel overlap, but to our knowledge, there have not been any millimetric estimates.📏 Check out @MohamadAbbass19's deep dive.🤿 Comments/suggestions welcome!🙏
Just now at #HBHLSymposium2025, experts from @mcgillu & @WesternU shared their breakthroughs in non-invasive neurostimulation, iPSC models and circuit-based approaches for epilepsy, ALS and more, as part of the McGill-Western Initiative for Translational Neuroscience (ITN). 🧠🔬

Thanks to the organizers for a great #AES2024 meeting! Awesome presenting some of our #epilepsy work and catching up with friends and colleagues in LA. Until next year! 🧠⚡🌅


Quick break from #AES2024 last night to watch the LA Kings take on the Minnesota Wild! @westernuCNS @westernu_nsx @epilepsysurgeon @jclauneuro @AmitRLPersad
Really fun and lively underground session at #CLAE2024 🇨🇦 Thank you to our fantastic speakers and wonderful audience 💜 Next up: @AmEpilepsySoc #AES2024 🇺🇸
Enjoyed co-chairing the white matter and epilepsy surgery session @CLAE_LCCE. We had a fantastic lineup of speakers from different centres across 🇨🇦: DonGross SdeRibaupierre @AlexanderGWeil MaryPatMcAndrews. #CLAE2024

Great session on surgical failures... thanks to our great speakers #CLAE2024
Awesome work by @HKreinterMD presenting on an SEEG RF ablation case @WesternUCNS @WesternU_NSx in the ictal semiology session, moderated by @appendinojp and MichelleLeeJones. @ana_suller #CLAE2024

Great view of #Montreal on our fun run this morning (which ended up more like a fun hike) in support of #epilepsy research, education, advocacy in 🇨🇦. @CLAE_LCCE #CLAE2024


At the #CLAE2024 ictal semiology session. Lateral tonic eye deviation: consider frontal eye fields for localization. Great job by @appendinojp and Michelle-Lee Jones.
My colleague @ana_suller at the symposium on epileptic encephalopathies at #CLAE2024, in #Montreal, sharing her experience treating adults with these conditions
