Talk (20mins), MRI Together – A global workshop on Open Science and Reproducible MR Research, Online, Virtual
This is a comprehensive introduction of the open neuroimaging resource in China. Visit the conference website for more details. The recorded video of my presentation is accessible at youtube.
Talk (45mins), Pacific Rim – Neuroimaging across the lifespan in health and disease: New Horizons in Human Brain Imaging, Hawaii, USA
This is a comprehensive introduction of the new direction - developmental population neuroscience. Visit the conference website for more details. A special issue on this conference has been published in Brain Imaging and Behavior.
Talk (60mins), The International Workshop for Advanced High-field MRI Techniques on Human Participants: 7T Ultra-High Field MRI Scanner and Repeated fMRI Measurement, Shanghai, China
In this talk, I will introduce a new statistical framework on reliability and validity of measuring the individual differences. Within this framework, the relationship among reliability, effect size, sample size was simulated under a given statistical power.
Talk (35mins), International Pediatric Neuro MRI – Structure, Function and Outcome, Xi'an, China
This talk will present the work generating age-normed brain templates for children and adolescents at one-year intervals and the corresponding growth charts. Age- and ethnicity-specific brain templates facilitate establishing unbiased pediatric brain growth charts, indicating the necessity of the brain charts and brain templates generated in tandem.
Talk (60mins), NYU Shanghai & East China Normal University, Shanghai, China
Neuroscientists are working to rapidly amass the large-scale sample sizes needed to meaningfully study individual differences and support reproducible biomarker discovery (e.g., big cohorts). Although promising, the measurement reliability of individual samples is often suboptimal, thereby requiring unnecessarily large sample sizes to achieve the same goals. Functional neuroimaging provides an example, as recent works suggest that data acquisitions may need to be made longer to achieve desired levels of reliability. The implications of the present talk extend to the broader life sciences. Visit the seminar website for more details.
Talk (50mins), The 21st National Academic Congress of Psychology, Beijing, China
This gives birth of a new field, namely Developmental Population Neuroscience (DPN), which will be introduced by the present keynote. The speaker will survey and foresee DPN progresses by presenting the most established and recognized scientific findings during the past two decades as well as connecting it with the national brain project.
Talk (20mins), The 6th Biennial Conference on Resting State and Brain Connectivity, Montreal, Canada
This talk covers measurement theory and its importance for big data research in neuroimaging field.
Talk (20mins), The 2nd International Life Science Summit, Beidaihe, China
This talk gives a comprehensive description of the Chinese Color Nest Project.
