These ultra-high-filed (UHF) scanners are particularly relevant for neuroimaging, where anatomical and functional images can be acquired with higher spatial and temporal resolution than on conventional scanners. However, UHF scanners remain difficult to operate, and understanding their specific limitations is essential. These systems indeed face several challenges arising from MR physics and biological effects that must be addressed within engineering constraints. Leverage the potential of UHF scanners, for instance through field monitoring, is therefore important to make the most of these scanners and benefit from the intrinsic SNR gain.<br>\r\nfMRI particularly benefits from the increase in magnetic field strength, enabling studies to be performed at higher resolution than at lower fields. In order to maintain reasonable acquisition times despite larger imaging matrices, several acceleration strategies have been developed, e.g. multi-slice EPI (SMS-EPI), three-dimensional EPI (3D-EPI) and non-Cartesian sampling schemes. In addition, functional contrasts also benefit from the field increase, including improved spatial localization of the BOLD contrast and the possibility to exploit VASO contrast.</p>", "image_description": "7T MRI Seminar", "creation_date": "2026-03-23T10:36:15", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-23T10:39:08", "link_label": "Website of the event", "link_url": "https://cibm.ch/event/7t-mri-seminar-leveraging-the-potential-of-uhf-scanners-for-fmri-studies/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CH F1 614", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CH%20F1%20614", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/65404945981", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<strong>Caroline Le Ster</strong>, CEA Neurospin, Paris, France", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://cibm.ch\">CIBM Center for Biomedical Imaging</a>", "contact": "<strong>Miguel Molina</strong>, CIBM Media & Events Manager", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "7T MRI scanner, fMRI, UHF, Biomedical imaging", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120149/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/284/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 69803, "title": "Higher moments for the SHE in high dimensions and their phase transitions", "slug": "higher-moments-for-the-she-in-high-dimensions-and", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/higher-moments-for-the-she-in-high-dimensions-and", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31288/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31288/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/31288/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-14", "end_date": "2026-04-15", "start_time": "10:10:00", "end_time": "11:00:00", "description": "<p>We consider regularized versions of the stochastic heat equation (SHE) in high dimensions $d\\geq 3$ and analyze their higher moments in the limit as the regularization is removed, for varying coupling constants that describe the strength of the driving noise. Motivated by recent results on the higher moments of the SHE in two dimensions at $L^{2}$-criticality, a natural question is whether the higher moments of the SHE in high dimensions also converge at the $L^{2}$-critical point. Our main result gives a negative answer: in high dimensions, the higher moments diverge when the coupling constant belongs to a nontrivial right-closed interval whose upper endpoint is the $L^{2}$-critical point. In particular, we obtain a sharp bound for the critical coupling constant at which the corresponding limiting higher moment undergoes a phase transition. As an application to the continuous directed polymer, we derive a sharp estimate for quantity believed to be closely related to the tail probability of the limiting partition function.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2025-09-12T13:47:07", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-30T15:59:29", "link_label": "Working-Reading Seminar", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/labs/stoan/reading-working-seminar/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "MA B2 485", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Dr Te-Chun Wang (EPFL)", "organizer": " <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/xue-mei.li\">Xue-Mei Li</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/xue-mei.li\">Xue-Mei Li</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Expert", "en_label": "Expert" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Reading-Working Seminar", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/117635/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/403/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71449, "title": "N-fold groupoids and n-groupoids in semi-abelian categories", "slug": "n-fold-groupoids-and-n-groupoids-in-semi-abelian-c", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/n-fold-groupoids-and-n-groupoids-in-semi-abelian-c", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32797/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32797/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32797/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-16", "end_date": "2026-04-16", "start_time": "10:00:00", "end_time": "11:00:00", "description": "<p>The notion of semi-abelian category, introduced by G. Janelidze, L. Márki and W. Tholen in 2002, generalizes that of abelian category, and captures the homological properties that the categories of groups, associative algebras, Lie algebras and cocommutative Hopf algebras over a field have in common. Internal structures behave surprisingly well in semi-abelian categories. For example, any internal reflexive graph admits at most one internal category structure, and the categories of internal categories and internal groupoids are isomorphic. Moreover, the category of internal groupoids is equivalent to the category of internal crossed modules. The notion of internal crossed module in any semi-abelian category was introduced by G. Janelidze in 2003, and recovers in particular the classical notion of crossed module of groups. The fact that the category of internal groupoids in a semi-abelian category is itself semi-abelian implies that also the category of internal n-fold groupoids is well-behaved.<br>\r\n <br>\r\nIn this talk, I will prove that the full subcategory of internal n-groupoids in a semi-abelian category is a Birkhoff subcategory of the category of internal n-fold groupoids, and provide a simple description of the corresponding reflection for n=2. In the abelian context, the internal n-groupoids yield a torsion-free subcategory of the category of internal n-fold groupoids, and it is possible to characterize (higher) central extensions and compute generalized Hopf formulae for homology. <br>\r\n <br>\r\nPart of this talk is based on joint work with Marino Gran<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-25T12:18:18", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-25T12:25:27", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "MA B1 504", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==MA%20B1%20504", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Nadja Egner, UC Louvain", "organizer": "Markus Kirolos", "contact": "Maroussia Schaffner", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120179/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71486, "title": "Topological Data Analysis for Gait Pattern Classification", "slug": "topological-data-analysis-for-gait-pattern-classif", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/topological-data-analysis-for-gait-pattern-classif", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32831/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32831/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32831/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-04-23", "end_date": "2026-04-23", "start_time": "10:00:00", "end_time": "11:00:00", "description": "<p>The classification of gait patterns is an important challenge in movement analysis, as it supports clinical assessment and decision-making by enabling diagnosis and severity stratification. In this talk, I will discuss the potential of Topological Data Analysis (TDA) for gait pattern classification. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on explicit detection of Gait Events (GEs) to compute Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters (SGPs), TDA characterises the global structure of gait signals directly, capturing relationships and patterns in the data without requiring GEs. This is particularly relevant in real-world settings, where GE detection can be diQicult due to heterogeneity in walking conditions and gait patterns, potentially biasing clinically relevant metrics and, consequently, decision-making.<br>\r\nWithin our department, preliminary results have shown that TDA-based features can achieve classification performance comparable to that of SGPs in fall-risk assessment. These findings suggest that topology oQers a competitive alternative for representing gait data, with the potential to better handle variability across subjects and pathological<br>\r\nconditions.<br>\r\nBuilding on these results, we plan to further extend the TDA framework in two directions. First, we aim to investigate time-aware topological methods to better capture the<br>\r\ntemporal structure of gait signals. Second, we will explore Topological Deep Learning (TDL) approaches to reduce reliance on handcrafted design choices and potentially<br>\r\nimprove classification performance. By combining the robustness of topology with datadriven representation learning, this work seeks to provide robust tools for the classification of typical and pathological gait patterns.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-03-30T09:44:37", "last_modification_date": "2026-03-30T09:47:45", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CM 1 517", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CM%201%20517", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Elena Botti, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)", "organizer": "Markus Kirolos", "contact": "Maroussia Schaffner", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120224/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences -
