!Leadership Roles (organization of courses, preparation of teaching materials, etc.)

1. Organizer of 5-week International INCF  Workshop (INCF) in Antwerp (2-6/9/2013): “Imaging the brain at different scales: How to integrate multi-scale structural information?”\\
\\
__2. Project leader of a multi-site grant (tot al of 3.5 million Euro) across 9 different research groups in Europe (IUAP, see above).__\\
\\
__3. Project leader of multinational team awarded in the Human Brain Project grant (HuMoLogous).__\\
\\
__4. Development of a novel functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging research tool for awake behaving non-human primates (NHP).__ \\
\\
Wim Vanduffel pioneered a number of groundbreaking new techniques in the last decade that are absolutely critical to further our understanding of 'human' brain function. The development of monkey fMRI has allowed us to study at the whole brain level the functional anatomy of the monkey brain, which has provided for the first time a bridge method to compare it with the human brain.  Novel methods of image analysis spurred by the NHP fMRI program is now used for evolutionary comparisons of cortical areas across species that are indispensable to understand the origin of several human developmental (e.g. autism) and psychiatric conditions (e.g. schizophrenia). The technique that we invented for imaging alert primates with MRI and to use MRI to target recordings of individual neurons in functionally identified regions have been directly adopted by many laboratories across the world-at, Caltech, Rockfeller, Yale, Pittsburg, Emory, Brown, NIMH Bethesda, MIT, Riken Tokyo, Neurospin Paris, Arizona, Bremen, Lyon, Toulouse, NIN Amsterdam, Oxford, etc\\
