DESCRIPTION:The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the visi
 on of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972
 –1984)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks 
 will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, co
 gnitive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientis
 ts from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally
  and from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual fo
 rum for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary ex
 changes on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive
  disorders.\n\n\nRegister for In-Person\n\nTo watch online\, click here\n
 \nHost: Alan Evans \n\n\nCognitive and Brain Health in Transdiagnostic Psy
 chiatry\n\nAbstract: Cognitive deficits are experienced by many individual
 s with psychiatric disorders\, regardless of diagnosis\, and significantly
  impact daily life. Poor cognitive health\, driven by brain abnormalities\
 , contributes to clinical symptoms and impaired functioning. Katie Lavigne
 's research utilizes digital technologies and advanced brain imaging techn
 iques to better understand and promote cognitive and brain health in indiv
 iduals with mental illness. Her team (1) develops new open tools to improv
 e the measurement of cognition and applies these tools to (2) examine how 
 cognition fluctuates over time in relation to symptoms and environmental f
 actors\, and (3) identify the brain mechanisms underlying cognitive dysfun
 ction in mental illness. This research aims to advance the understanding o
 f cognitive dysfunction in psychiatric disorders and provide insights into
  the strong links between cognitive deficits\, brain alterations\, and fun
 ctioning.\n\nKatie Lavigne\n\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Psychiat

  Lavigne is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGi
 ll University and a Researcher at the Douglas Research Centre\, where she 
 also leads the Douglas Open Science Program. She received a PhD in Neurosc
 ience in 2018 from the University of British Columbia and completed a post
 doctoral fellowship at the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital and th
 e Douglas Research Centre in 2023. Her research focuses on the nature and 
 mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in psychiatric disorders\, using techn
 iques such as ecological momentary assessment and multimodal magnetic reso
 nance imaging. Her group also develops new tools to improve cognitive asse
 ssment\, and makes these openly available to the research community.\n
