Cluster
by Mark Hymers 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hi, The YNiC cluster is now back in operation. Apologies for the delay but we were unfortunately hindered by (very) slow delivery of some parts needed for server maintenance. All of the machines were imaged overnight to get the client software for the cluster up-to-date. For staff, you need to make sure your machine is running image 20081117. The main change which should be noted is that it is no longer necessary to apply for your account to be enabled to use the cluster. The step is now automatically performed at account creation. The docwiki has been updated to reflect this and the paper-based guides will be updated at their next revision. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Grant application presentations
by a.ellis＠psych.york.ac.uk 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Gary, Tony and I would like to invite anyone planning a YNiC-based grant application to think about making a Thursday 4pm presentation outlining your ideas. We know that our applications will have to be good to be successful: a presentation would allow YNiC staff and everyone else involved in YNiC research to offer comments and suggestions that might help you introduce some additional methods or concepts that you hadn't thought of. It would also enable us all to know where each other's research is going, rather than having to wait to hear the results at some point in the future. If you are interested / prepared to do this, please contact Rebecca who will try to accommodate you as early as possible. That's rebecca.millman(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Andy

This week in YNiC
by Gary Green 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Dear colleagues In addition to the celebration of TMS coming to York (Thursday at 4pm) we also have a visitor on Wednesday who has expressed his interest in meeting users and discussing the science at YNiC. Lord Sainsbury who officially opened the Centre in 2005, will be visiting from 1:45pm to 2:45. He specifically asked to be shown around YNiC to hear about progress since his last visit. Lord Sainsbury studied Psychology at Cambridge and is known to retain a personal interest in the development of our understanding of cognition. He will be visiting MEG where we will be demonstrating its use in studying verbal & non-verbal memory, MRI where he will be shown recent work on use of fMRI in vision sciences and then he will be taken into the open plan to meet users. If you are free and would like to meet our visitor then please do come along to YNiC on Wednesday from 1:30pm onwards. Lord Sainsbury will be accompanied by the VC and the pro-VC for research thanks Gary -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. 01904 435349 fax 01904 435356 mobile 07986 778954

Dear Users This week's YNiC session (4-5pm) will consist of a discussion led by Prof. Sue Gathercole on strategies for successful grant applications, followed by a YNiC project proposal by George Tsoulas. 1) 16.00-16.45 Professor Sue Gathercole, who is a member of the Medical Research Council's Neurosciences and Mental Health Board, will lead a discussion of how to optimize the chances of success with grant applications. Other researchers with experience of applying successfully for grants, working for grant awarding bodies etc. will then be invited to contribute their own thoughts. Winning grant income is not easy in the current climate, but this event is designed to pool advice and guidance on what you can do to maximize your chances. 2) 16.45-17.00 George Tsoulas & Silvia Gennari "The computation of ellipsis: Evidence from brain imaging" -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Hello all, Just a reminder that the open plan will be full again this afternoon for the MSc practical, from 13:15 to 15:15. We will be very busy and there are unlikely to be machines available, so no matter how eager you are to arrive early for the seminar at 16:00 you'd be advised to wait till after 15:15. This week we have an external speaker, Stephan Moratti. The title of Stephan's talk is "Steady state visual evoked potentials/ fields: Advantages of High Signal to Noise Ratio in Basic and Clinical Psychophysiological Research" and, as ever, everyone is welcome. Thanks, Sam
