I’m very happy to have been invited to participate as a speaker at the upcoming functional ultrasound imaging workshop at the Paris Brain Institute, on December 8–9, 2026.
I think this is a great initiative. Functional ultrasound imaging (fUSi) has developed very rapidly over the past years and is now used across a growing range of experimental models and neuroscience questions. At the same time, it is still a relatively young technique that comes with its own experimental and analysis questions. Practices currently differ quite a lot between laboratories, everyone develops their own pipelines, and there is still a need for more shared tools, formats and community standards.
The workshop is designed around strengthening the community and sharing practices. It is primarily aimed at PhD students and postdocs interested in adopting fUSi, but should be highly relevant for anyone in the field. It combines the physical principles of ultrafast ultrasound, experimental implementation, data preprocessing and analysis, clinical applications, and newer ultrasound-based approaches. I will contribute to the surgical/practical sessions—more information soon. The program also includes keynote lectures from Mickaël Tanter and Pengfei Song.
Many thanks to Antoine Bergel, Agnès Landemard, Emilie Macé and Pierre Pouget for organizing the workshop and bringing together a very broad group of researchers working on different aspects of functional ultrasound.
I am really looking forward to the discussions around how we can make fUSi experiments and analysis more efficient and reproducible across laboratories!
