A reminder that there is an extra seminar on Monday at 12.30 in
Psychology A202 (the Venables Room)
Prof Tatjana Nazir (Lyon) 'Exploring the cortical networks
underlying (visual) word recognition'.
All welcome

This Friday we have a group of visitors attending YNiC some time between
11 and noon. The visit is extremely important for us and the University.
When the Open Plan area is busy there is an exciting atmosphere and it
would be good to communicate that to the visitors even if they are only
present for a few minutes. If you happened to be planning to use the
YNiC facilities this week then please consider doing so on Friday
morning as it would help us enormously.
Thank you

Dear All,
I received three responses (please shout if I have ommitted any) to my
enquiry concerning projects (past, present and future) that might assist
us all in bench testing MEG analysis. The project details are described
below and I am hopeful that each of them will inform us on how best to use
the MEG tools that have been developed at YNiC. The projects are also at
different stages of development and this is likely to allow at least some
work to be done in series rather than us spread ourselves too thinly
across three parallel projects. I plan to convene some meetings with each
project team and YNiC staff to establish how to move forward on each
project. These meetings will take the same form as the brain storming
sessions that we are now running for project teams. The first of these
was run recently and by all accounts was a successful and enjoyable
activity. If you could let me know when (usually a Wednesday afternoon
from 4pm) you are available to meet, that would be very helpful.
Many thanks for responding.
