We are sorry to have to tell you that Piers Cornelissen has postponed
his presentation for this Thursday (31st). There will therefore not be a
meeting this week.
The next Thursday seminar is on the 14th of June at 4.00pm

Dear All
The Department has been awarded £12,450 from the
University's Strategic Equipment Fund for the
purchase of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
(TMS) equipment. This is first and foremost a
contribution towards the start-up needs of Silke
Goebel and Beth Jefferies, but once the equipment
is purchased and installed in YNiC later this
year, it will be available to others when Silke
and Beth are not using it.

GARY told me to post this to YNiC users, as it is not documented anywhere.
Just following orders... (And some users do operate for themselves!!!)

Dear all
Some time-saving tips for when using the supine projector screen in MEG....
Orientation needs to be changed using projector handset:
Menu - Main - Mirror- H&V invert
Image can be moved up/down using projector handset 'Lens shift' buttons.
Image also needs to be much smaller than for standard projector, as it
gets 'amplified' by the greater distance.

Hello all,
Well after a rather disappointing turn out last week I can only
apologise again for the lack of alcohol following Michael's talk and
reassure everyone that normal service will be resumed, the wine is ready
and waiting.
Even better though is the prospect of a project proposal from Jakke
Tamminen, and a brainstorm feedback from Laura Lee.
Jakke will be talking about his project "Neural correlates of novel word
learning".
Laura will talk about "Outcomes of Brainstorming. Comparing fMRI & MEG;
category-selectivity in the visual cortex". Laura's asked me to
emphasise that this won't be the same as her departmental talk, she'll
be talking much more about techniques and analysis rather than results,
discussing filtering, block design in MEG and virtual electrodes, so
there's sure to be something for everyone.
Hope to see you all on Thursday,
Thanks,
Sam

Hello all,
Just a reminder that tomorrow evening the Thursday evening session at
YNiC will consist of Garreth giving a project presentation for his next
MEG study, looking at amplitude modulation, and Angel talking about the
usefulness of noise reduction for different data sets.
We've got the next couple of weeks' sessions booked, but this is now
your chance to volunteer to 'run' a session. You can present work,
ideas, problems, or opt for a more traditional journal club approach. If
we don't have any volunteers stepping forward, we'll be moving to the
"who hasn't stepped back" method instead :)
Hope to see you tomorrow,
Sam
Dear all,
a number of you have asked for a copy of the presentation on
oscillations that I gave last night. It can now be downloaded as a pdf here:

Dear all,
I will be giving the YNiC Thursday evening seminar this Thursday, 10th
May, at 4pm in YNiC Open Plan.
I plan to present an introduction to oscillatory brain activity, and
then discuss the linked article which studies whether 'oscillations in
brain potentials are mere epiphenomena'. The article is short, only a
letter, and so is not arduous to read in advance.
This should be of particular interest to anyone currently analysing MEG
data, or about to embark on an MEG study.

Dear YNiC Users
I will be "YNiC representative" in the Cognitive Roundtable session at
the 4-D Users meeting in June. The aim is to showcase MEG data generated
by the YNiC analysis tools to the rest of the 4-D User community.
Therefore I am looking for some data from cognitive experiments to
include in my presentation, particularly if you have also done some
beamforming and virtual electrode analysis.
The catch is that I will only have 5-7 minutes to deliver the
presentation. I am hoping to provide the audience with a brief overview
of a few different cognitive studies within this 5-7 minutes. I am
planning to present a maximum of 5 experiments (it does not have to be a
complete data set) and talk about each study for about 1 min.
If you would like your study to be presented in this way at the 4-D
Users meeting, please get in touch with me and we can start working on
your slides.
Best wishes
Rebecca
