I am excited to announce that the protocol for the clinical trial on VR-therapy for people with epilepsy and anxiety that I developed in undergrad supervised by Lora and Laurence Harris is now published! Samantha (Lewis) Fung @danielletchao Susanna Pardini

An exciting week at London Health Sciences Centre piloting our fMRI sequences on this brand new scanner at University Hospital. We are just about ready to resume scanning unresponsive ICU patients to look for signs of preserved consciousness w/ Loretta Norton , Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS, & team.


Honoured to be part of #worldcomaday Curing Coma. We are excited to share our work using fNIRS to assess covert consciousness in comatose patients. Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS Loretta Norton Karnig Kazazian Matthew Kolisnyk Sergio Novi Androu Abdalmalak Reza Moulavi-Ardakani #WesternU CNS London Health Sciences Centre


Submission for workshops and abstracts for fNIRS-UK 2023 is now open. Deadlines are on 15th and 31st of May respectively. University of Essex Dr. Javier Andreu-Perez @gemmabale #fNIRS fnirs.uk And you do not have to be UK based to participate!






Join Martin Smith and I tomorrow at 8pm UK time for a discussion on brain imaging in unconscious patients in this ICPNT JNA - Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology webinar

Talk Announcement! Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS kicks off the talks at our Research Impact Day, unveiling groundbreaking neuroimaging approaches from Western BrainsCAN for challenging patient diagnoses. Hear Leonard & Winifred Rodrigues' inspiring experiences too! Register 👇impact.brainscan.ca/conference/


If you are a post-doc or senior graduate student interested in the neuroscience of consciousness, then this December Winter School in Cancun is unbeatable. We welcome participants from anywhere in the world and your expenses will be covered by CIFAR and Templeton World Charity Foundation.




Will a patient on life support end up in a vegetative state or wake up? Using an algorithm, #WesternU's Prof. Adrian M. Owen OBE, FRS, Loretta Norton, Karnig Kazazian & Matthew Kolisnyk were able to accurately predict a patient’s possible recovery after a brain injury. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Can a machine learning algorithm predict who is going to recover from a serious brain injury in the ICU? *spoiler* Yes, it can. Brilliant work by Karnig Kazazian Matthew Kolisnyk Loretta Norton link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Using fMRI imaging and machine learning, Schulich WesternU researchers discovered they could predict which patients would recover from a serious brain injury with an accuracy of 80%. #WesternU news.westernu.ca/2023/09/ai-pre…

Amazing work led by Dr. Loretta Norton
