Staff Cricket
by Michael Simpson 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Dear all, I now have the application form for the staff cricket league, and will be about to enter a team into it for Psychology. As stated in previous mailings, there will be approximately 10 games between mid May and the end of August, all starting at 5.30 on the Oak Tree pitches (almost opposite Psychology ... ). The matches are friendly in nature and cater for all abilities. Novices welcome, the only criteria is that you are either Uni staff or post-graduate. Rather than persistently cross-post throughout the summer, I'd like to set up a mailing list for interested parties. So, if you're interested in being kept informed of practices and games, please reply to me and I'll generate an email list. I don't mind whether your interested is at the level of spectating, playing a few games or stalwart; it'd just be good to collate a list of interested parties. The names that will automatically be added, as they've already shown (some) level of interest are: Me, Tony Morland, Tim Andrews, Andre Gouws, Sam Johnson, Gary Green, Garreth Prendergast, Philip Quinlan, Padraic Monaghan, Peter Thompson, Phil Pell, Tom Hartley, Andy Ellis, Martin Edmundson, Sam Gardiner, Tom Hartley, Padraig Kitterick, Richard Allen. Hopefully there will be an outdoor net session either next week or the week after. I'll let you know when I know.

Thursday 26th April - YNiC Seminar
by Michael Simpson 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Dear all, Its a new term and the YNiC Thursday evening Seminars are back! Usual time, 4pm in YNiC Open Plan. The new timetable of talks will be presented and discussed on Thursday evening. However, in the timetable will be a series of talks where YNiC Users feedback to the YNiC User community from their Brainstorm sessions. The idea is that they will present a similar presentation to what they presented at their Brainstorm, discuss the problems that were highlighted, and then present their subsequent findings. Hopefully, these presentations will be of interest to all YNiC Users. First up this Thursday (26th April), is Laura Barca with her presentation: "My experiences with Virtual Electrodes: Feedback from a YNiC Brainstorm." With thanks, Michael -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

MRI scanning procedures
by a.morland＠psychology.york.ac.uk 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Dear All, [Sorry for cross postings] Apologies for the long message, but please read it carefully because it contains information concerning MRI scanning. YNiC now has a new radiographer, Chris Alderson, who has extensive experience of MRI scanning. She is however new to the research environment and will therefore be in need of support from researchers using the scanner. With this is mind this seems like a good opportunity to remind investigators of the following. 1) Scanning Protocols Please be sure that you know the scanning protocols that you will be using. In many circumstances your protocols are saved on the scanner in a project folder named with your project number (e.g. P1025). If you do not know your protocols, please get in touch with your SLO so that we can prepare a scanning protocol for you. If you are obtaining structural scans as part of an MEG study, there is already a predefined protocol that Chris is aware of. 2) Stimulus arrangements It is also essential that you are able to present your stimuli without assistance from Chris. You will also need to be able to give clear instructions to Chris about when she should commence scanning with respect to stimulus onset etc. You are, of course, able to liaise with your SLO if you need help. 3) Timeliness As a courtesy to Chris, please ensure that you and your participants arrive promptly for your scanning session. Also, be sure to book the appropriate amount of time for your scan session. This is likely to become increasingly important as non-research clinical scanning picks up, because we will be unable to have research time overrun to displace or delay fee paying clinical scanning. 4) Participant preparation It is the investigators responsibility to have their participants prepared for the scan and prepared on time. This means that participants need to be registered for the scan and appropriately dressed. Participants are able to wear gowns if they clothing is not suitable for scanning. Chris is responsible for a final screening of the participant and will take them into the exam room. 5) Access to corridor, console room and exam room. Only investigators who have been named as such may be present in the console room during scanning. Participants should be prepared for scanning in the corridor, where changing facilities and lockers for valuables are available and should be used. Once the participant is ready, only the investigator should enter the console room to let Chris know that the participant is ready. Chris will then invite the participant to come through to the console room, where she will perform final checks, and then take them through to the exam room. Please keep the number of investigators in the console to a minimum. Please note that as the centre becomes busier (as anticipated) adhering to the above with become increasingly more important. If you are unsure about anything raised in this message, please feel free to get in touch with me, Andre Gouws or your SLO. Thanks Tony

Cricket nets
by Michael Simpson 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Dear all, We are going to try and have one more indoor cricket net before the end of Easter. From asking those who were at the last net, the best time would be next Wednesday. However, at 6 - 7 pm two of the four nets are booked for Universtiy staff. Before and after they are usually full for Badminton. Depending on interest, you would all be welcome to attend the staff nets. I go regularly. However, if there are a number of us it may be polite to book an extra net or two for our own use. Also, if you are a novice but keen, I'll make sure I book an extra net so that batting is an enjoyable rather than intimidating experience! Let me know what the interest is so I can book the nets accordingly, thanks, Michael P.S. I'll book an outdoor net in a few weeks time. -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk
