The OHBM Annual Meeting in Geneva was a busy week full of exciting science and bleeding-edge research, in-depth discussions and time Educational Course, Symposia & Abstract Earlier Deadline: December 15, 2016! OHBM 2017 Annual Meeting is in Vancouver, Canada!
We would like to thank Lara Boyd and Doris Doudet for agreeing to serve as the 2017 Local Organizing Committee Chair and Co-Chair respectively on such short notice. Vancouver is a beautiful city with an exceptional convention center and recreational activities – all of which creates the perfect stage for a fabulous meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver next June! For questions regarding the Annual Meeting, please contact info@humanbrainmapping.org New Replication Award announced at OHBM 2016 At the Annual Meeting, a new award was established to recognize the best published replication study. The OHBM Replication Award highlights OHBM’s commitment to reproducibility in neuroimaging research and helps begin to reshape the incentives towards replication. The recipient will receive a cash award of $2,000 and an engraved plaque (presented at the 2017 OHBM Annual Meeting in Vancouver). In its inaugural year, this award will be funded by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. Beginning in 2018, the award will be funded by OHBM. More information will be sent in the Fall with instructions for submission. OHBM Diversity/Gender Task Force In recent weeks a lot of attention has been given to the paper “Cluster failure: Why fMRI inferences for spatial extent have inflated false-positive rates”, by Eklund, Nichols and Knutsson, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The OHBM Council in coordination with the OHBM Communications Committee provided a formal response to the Eklund paper on the OHBM Blog. The response, “Keep Calm and Scan On” has been viewed over 18,000 times on the OHBM blog. Additionally, the blog post and the COBIDAS report (Best Practices in Data Analysis and Sharing in Neuroimaging using MRI ), were recently mentioned in a New York Times article: NYTimes: Do You Believe in God, or Is That a Software Glitch?
