This two-experiment project was conducted at the Speech neuroscience laboratory in Quebec City (www.speechneurolab.ca). It aimed to investigate the impact of background noise and talker variability on speech perception performance (sensitivity, reaction time) in healthy young and older adults using a multi-talker auditory syllable discrimination task, and to clarify underlying neurobiological mechanisms using multimodal MRI. As part of the project, we developed and standardized a multi-talker auditory syllable discrimination task. Syllables were presented in quiet or in background noise (pink noise). In Experiment 1, we examined the relationship between speech perception, hearing and auditory attention in 83 participants aged 19 to 87 years. In Experiment 2, we examined the relationship between speech perception in noise and brain structure and function using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a subset of 32 participants from Experiment 1.
The project was approved by the Comité d’éthique de la recherche sectoriel en neurosciences et santé mentale, Institut Universitaire en Santé Mentale de Québec (#360-2014).
Here we share all stimulus files, stimulus information and experiment files for both experiments. We also share uncorrected and corrected group MRI data (average brain, functional and structural MRI group maps). Individual data (behavioural and MRI), cannot be shared because participants did not consent to individual data sharing. To be meaningful, the behavioural data would need to contain information such as age, sex, etc. and such information could lead to the identification of the participants.
The study is published in the open access journal Neuroimage:

Dans le cadre du Projet d'acquisition de connaissances sur les eaux souterraines (PACES) aux îles de la Madeleine, des modèles numériques hydrogéologiques ont été développés et calibrés afin d'estimer la piézométrie et la position de l'interface eau douce - eau salée, de modéliser la remontée de l'interface eau douce - eau salée sous les puits de pompage, d'estimer l'épaisseur de la lentille d'eau douce, de déterminer les différentes composantes du bilan hydrologique, d'évaluer l’impact des pompages municipaux sur la disponibilité de la ressource en eau souterraine et d'identifier les aires d’alimentation des aquifères. Tous les fichiers nécessaires au développement et à l'utilisation des modèles sont présentés ici.

The study investigated if seascape heterogeneity creates areas of lower grazing risk (i.e. refugia from green sea urchin Strognylochentrotus droebachiensis) for kelp transplanted onto artificial reef modules and characterized the properties that define them.
An area of heterogeneous bottom (mix of hard and soft substrate) of 256 meter square at a depth of 10 meter was identified and delimited using 4 permanent reference transects defining a grid of 64 2x2 meters cells. Each cell was divided in 4 equal parcels (i.e. total of 256 parcels). One individual plant of kelp Alaria esculenta was transplanted on each of 18 cement blocks randomly deployed in the grid.
The survival of kelp was followed at different times between August and October 2015.
The study area was mapped to describe the bottom composition of eac parcel at the beginning of the study, while biological variable were mapped at each kelp survival follow-up time.
A kelp frame was deployed nearby the studi site to control for kelp mortality related to transplantation techniques.
The study was conducted in the late summer 2015 at Baie-du-petit-Métis (48°40'37.30" N, 68° 0'41.24" W; Québec, Canada).

Cet ensemble de données constitue les données brutes acquises dans le cadre de l'étude "Reappraisal of others’ positive and negative emotions is related to distinctive patterns of cardiac autonomic regulation and situational empathy". Celui-ci comprend les données auto-rapportées, incluant l'empathie situationnelle, la valence émotionnelle et l'intensité (arousal) émotionnelle. L'ensemble des données comprend également les données physiologiques, telles que celles pour l'activité électrodermale, cardiaque et respiratoire. Les données du questionnaire Positive Affect and Negative Affect (PANAS; Watson et al., 1988) sont également comprises dans cet ensemble de données.

Quantitative data for the manuscript entitled “Experiences of social participation for Canadian wheelchair users with spinal cord injury during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic”. Participants completed two validated questionnaires that were modified in the context of the pandemic. A group of expert researchers determined which items from Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H 4.0) and from Measure of Quality of the Environment (MQE) were the most relevant in the context of the pandemic.

Dans le cadre du Projet d'acquisition de connaissances sur les eaux souterraines (PACES) aux îles de la Madeleine, des travaux de géophysique ont été réalisés conjointement entre l’INRS-ETE et l’Université Laval en 2019. Au total, 693 mesures de la méthode électromagnétique transitoire (TDEM) ont été réalisées. L’objectif de ces travaux était de documenter l’hétérogénéité des grès du Membre de l’Étang-des-Caps, qui constitue le milieu aquifère principal de l’archipel, et localiser l’interface entre l’eau douce et l’eau salée en profondeur sur les différentes îles habitées, excluant l’île d’Entrée. Des diagraphies ont aussi été réalisées dans des puits municipaux, des puits privés et des puits du RSESQ.
Les données de diagraphie sont ici disponibles en format .wcl et .las et les données de la méthode électromagnétique transitoire (TDEM) sont disponibles en format .mat.

Mild cognitive impairment is experienced by 30% of Parkinson’s disease patients (PD-MCI), often affecting executive functions. There is currently no pharmacological treatment for PD-MCI.
The aim of this study was to test preliminary effects of two home-based cognitive interventions: Goal Management Training, adapted for PD-MCI (Adapted-GMT), and a psychoeducation program combined with mindfulness exercises.
Twelve PD-MCI persons with executive dysfunctions, measured by extensive neuropsychological evaluation, were randomly assigned to one group. Both groups received five sessions each lasting 60-90 minutes for five weeks, in presence of caregiver. Measures were collected at baseline, mid-point, one-week, four-week and 12-week follow-ups. Primary outcomes were executive functions assessed by subjective (DEX questionnaire) and objective (Zoo Map Test) measures. Secondary outcomes included quality of life (PDQ-39), and global cognition (DRS-II). Repeated measures ANCOVAs were applied to outcomes.
Both groups improved in DEX-patient and DEX-caregiver scores. PDQ-39 scores decreased at four-week follow-up in Psychoeducation/Mindfulness group whereas they were maintained in Adapted-GMT group. All other measures were maintained in both groups.
Adapted-GMT and Psychoeducation/Mindfulness groups improved executive functioning. This is one of the first studies to test home-based approaches, tailored to participant’s cognitive needs, and involving caregivers.

In this study, we developed and distributed an online questionnaire targeting occupational voice users. The study aimed 1) to provide a portrait of the vocal health of occupational voice users in teaching and training contexts in the province of Quebec, Canada, through an online survey, 2) to document vocal health knowledge in this population, and 3) to identify personal and environmental risk factors associated with voice disorder symptoms. The survey was distributed to various organizations in the province of Quebec (e.g., teaching associations, fitness centres). 1079 respondents answered the survey. Descriptive data were presented, and ordinal regression analyses were computed (objective 3). Here we share the following documents: the original survey in French and an English translation, the original and cleaned datasets. These datasets contain the individual responses for all respondents and all 88 questions. The R script used for the inferential analyses (i.e., cumulative link models).
