Dear All,
The British Neuroscience Association runs a Neuroscience North East
conference each year . This year it will be held in Durham on 14/15
December. The aim of this conference is to give younger neuroscientists
(PhD students, postdocs) an opportunity to present their work. If you
are interested in presenting a talk or a poster OR fancy a couple of
days in Durham, please let me know asap and I will put you in contact
with the conference organizers. I have been told that there is free
food and drink (incl. beer) and cheap accommodation.
Best wishes,
Tim

Dear YNiC users
A new page (not yet published) will be available on the YNiC website
where researchers can advertise for participants. If you would like to
advertise your study on the YNiC "Volunteers" page, please provide the
following information to either me or your SLO:
1) The project title and a contact name
2) The email address of the contact
3) A few sentences describing your project
4) How long the experiment will take
5) Participant payment
There will also be a link to the YNiC "Volunteers" page from the
psychology department website.
Furthermore, if you have specific requirements of participants (e.g.
right-handed, normal vision), we can query the pool of volunteers in the
YNiC database to produce a list of suitable volunteers for your study. I
will send an email to all the volunteers on the list on the behalf of
the user. Users will need to provide details of their study and a
contact email so that interested volunteers can contact them directly.
If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Rebecca

Dear All,
I'm pleased to announced that we're about to start a new study which will
look at the relationship between the size of the hippocampus and performance
on a topographical memory task.
The aim is to make use of MRI data collected in connection with previous and
ongoing studies. We are looking to make contact with potential participants
(healthy adults, aged 18-50) who have already had an MRI scan at YNiC or who
will have one over the next 6-9 months. An additional constraint is that
they should be available to take part in a brief (15-20 minute)
psychological test later in the year.
If you have already or are about to conduct a study with suitable
participants and are willing to help, we would like to hear from you so that
we can begin the process of contacting subjects and identifying studies in
which they have participated. We aim to make this as easy for you and the
potential participants as possible. There is a also a panel of volunteers
who have agreed to be approached regarding future studies at YNiC, and we
intend to approach these via the Director. To respond, please use the link
below (please be careful not to "reply to all"!):
mailto:t.hartley@psychology.york.ac.uk;rch504@york.ac.uk?subject=hvt:I-have-
a-study
You may yourself have had a scan and be interested in participating - if so,
please contact us, and we can then begin the process of tracking down your
scan and obtaining permission to analyze the data. There is no need to make
a firm commitment at this stage, and as with all such studies, you would be
free to withdraw at any time. If this fits you, please use the following
link to reply to this message:
mailto:t.hartley@psychology.york.ac.uk;rch504@york.ac.uk?subject=hvt:I-have-
a-study

Dear YNiC Users
We would like to get your feedback on when would be the most convenient
time to run training sessions.
Please can you take a few minutes to tick some boxes and make comments
on the online form at
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/user-resources/training-survey
We will collate the information in two weeks time
thanks

Dear ynic-users
It is good to see that many of you are now using the online booking form
for MEG and MRI.
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/user-resources/booking
We hope the new procedure is easier than the old method of using email
and/or phone.
There is a small problem though which we would like to bring to your
attention. When you use the online form, you should still wait for
confirmation from Claire Fox by email that your session has been booked.
This is because several people could, in theory, attempt to book the
same hour.
Another problem is that some people are attempting to book a session at
night for the next day. This is not practical as we need to ensure that
an operator is available, that the scanners are available and that all
stimulus delivery issues, ethics, and consent are all in place.
Please can we ask users to try and book their sessions before the
Thursday of the week before they wish to use the scanners.
Of course we do not want the scanners to be idle and the resource to be
wasted, so, if you want to make a last minute booking and all the
practical aspects of scanning are in place, then please ring Claire to
discuss the possibility of using the scanners. The key thing then will
be availability of operators.

Tomorrow, the annual one day resuscitation course is being run within
YNiC. This is primarily for operators and staff at YNiC but if you feel
that you might benefit from attending this course then there are a few
places available for ynic-users. If you would like to attend please
email claire.fox(a)ynic.york.ac.uk
It will start at 9.30 and last until mid afternoon.
