MEG Planned Maintenance

by Maribel Pulgarin

Dear Users, The MEG system will be undergoing planned, preventative maintenance from Friday, Nov.7th until Friday, Nov. 14th. There will be no MEG scanning during this maintenance window. The work will include a recalibration of the system, an overhaul of the mechanics of the bed and the replacement of half of the SAD cards. We replaced the first half in June, and this is the second and final stage in the replacement. We thank you for your patience in this matter and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Best Regards, Maribel Pulgarin-Montoya -- ________________________________ Maribel Pulgarin-Montoya MEG Manager York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Fax: 01904 435356 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

Vacancies on the DSO rota

by Michael Simpson

Dear all, as many of you know, Laura Lee has just submitted her PhD thesis. Naturally, we congratulate her for this achievement, and are glad that she has manged to complete her thesis so promptly. However, we do now have a Laura Lee shaped hole in the YNiC DSO (Duty Support Officer) rota. Are there any PhD students, Postdocs, or staff members out there who would like the honour of being a YNiC DSO as a fortnightly or monthly fixture on the rota? If so, please email me. 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

First and second year Psychologists interested in neuroimaging

by michael＠ynic.york.ac.uk

Dear Users, at the 'Meet the Researchers' session for new Psychology first years, there were a number of first years and seconds years interested in getting involved in brain imaging. Those who showed interest were encouraged to join the participant pool, and to sign up to the ynic-users mailing list. Should you be looking for volunteers for your study, now may be a good time to use the new database and advertise for your study. Similarly, if you are looking for undergraduates to get involved with your studies, there are a number of new members of the ynic-users mailing list eager to learn the finer arts of neuroimaging. Best wishes, Michael

YNiC Thursday seminar 23rd October

by rem

Dear Users This week's YNiC session (4-5pm) will consist of a project proposal by Ekaterini Klepouosniotou and then Andy Ellis will lead a discussion on taking your research through to publication. 1) 16.00-16.15. Ekaterini Klepouosniotou "Neural correlates of lexical ambiguity processing". 2) 16.15-1700. This session will focus on problems that YNiC users may be experiencing in analyzing their data to the point where they are happy to submit it for publication, and will try to identify issues concerning the analysis tools, visualisation tools, statistics etc that could usefully be addressed. Please use ynic-users(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to generate ideas for the agenda. The co-ordinator of this meeting will be Andy Ellis. Everyone is welcome to attend. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Open Plan busyness

by Sam Johnson

Hello all, Just to let you know about a couple of busy periods in the open plan at YNiC next week. On the 22nd (Wednesday) there will be a group of ~10 school children at YNiC between 14:00 and 15:30 using some of the machines in open plan. They will be accompanied by a Calendar film crew so those of you who are camera shy may want to avoid the area. Alternatively of course, if you want your 5 minutes of fame as background scientition, feel free to look industrious. On the 23rd (Thursday, though you probably could have worked that out) the first of the MSc sessions will be held between 13:15 and 15:15. During this time open plan will be extremely busy, and there are unlikely to be machines available. I'd strongly advise you not to come in to YNiC in the afternoon until after they've finished, when you will of course be rushing in for the "Taking your research through to publication" seminar. Thanks, Sam
