Dear all,
this is just a reminder of the YNiC ASC tomorrow, which Quentin
Summerfield will be chairing, on the subject of Auditory fMRI. It will
take place in Psychology B020 at 4.30pm Thursday 27th March. The agenda
will be as follows:
* Rebecca Millman will start the session with a presentation on Safety
and Practical Issues relating to Auditory fMRI.
* Quentin Summerfield will then make a presentation on his previous
experiences of fMRI at Nottingham.
* Andre Gouws will then make a presentation about Technical Issues
relating to Auditory fMRI.
* A discussion about possible ways forward in York will follow.
Thanks,
Michael

This is a gentle reminder follow-up e-mail to the e-mail copied
below. Thanks for your help.
We write to inform you of the opportunity for your graduate students,
post-docs and colleagues to participate in the MBL special topics
course "Neuroinformatics" , described at the link below, devoted to
neuronal data analysis and modeling with an emphasis on signal
processing and statistics. This course attracts leaders in the field
to teach a unique and intensive schedule. In addition, faculty and
students have numerous opportunities for informal discussion and to
analyze real data sets. We believe that the educational experience
and the ability to network with leading scientists from many
institutions, provided by this course, is not available at any single
home institution.
Substantial financial aid is available to defray the cost of tuition.
Neuroinformatics
Course Dates: August 16 - 31, 2008
Directors: Partha Mitra, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
David Kleinfeld. UC San Diego
Location: Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole MA
* Application Deadline: April 11, 2008 *
http://www.mbl.edu/education/courses/special_topics/neufo.html
This course contains pedagogical lectures on basic statistical
techniques as well as focussed mini-workshops on specific
neuroscience topics where applications of these techniques are
critical.
Thank you in advance for passing on this information. Based on
comments from alumni this educational experience has had a profound
effect on their scientific career.
Sincerely,
Partha Mitra

Dear Colleagues
Angel Nevado will be leaving soon to take up a position in Madrid. To
celebrate his success in obtaining his prestigious new position and to
thank him for all of his contributions whilst he has been working in
York, there will be celebratory drinks and a dinner on Wednesday evening.
Drinks will be served at YNiC from 5pm on Wednesday.
The dinner will be at the ASK restaurant at about 8pm that same evening.
If you wish to attend, please email me

Dear colleagues,
We will have a seminar on next wednesday, 12th March about medical image
analysis by Dr. Lee Harrison, UCL. We would like to invite you and your
group members to join the seminar. The detail of the seminar is as
follows. Please could you circulate this email to your group members,
and we welcome every one to join the seminar.

Lee Harrison (University College London)
Title: "Spatial models of functional magnetic resonance images"
11:15AM - 12:30AM, 12th March, Wednesday in Room CS103, Computer Science
Building
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I will talk about Bayesian spatial models of fMRI time-series data. In
particular, we use a weighted graph Laplacian (WGL) to partition a brain
volume into computationally manageable segments, using an isoperimetric
partitioning algorithm (Grady 2006). Data from each segment is then entered
into a 2-level general linear model (GLM) with matrix-variate normal
densities over likelihood and prior at the 1st and 2nd levels. The spatial
covariance matrix of the prior over voxels is given by the heat kernel of a
WGL and all parameters and hyperparameters e.g. controlling dispersion of
the heat kernel, are optimized using an EM algorithm with Fisher-Scoring
ascent scheme. The benefits of this approach are that GLM parameters have
an explicit and (generally) non-stationary spatial model. This allows
formal model comparison of different hypotheses about how data are
generated, e.g. from a stationary or non-stationary spatial process."

Dear colleagues,
_Auditory stimulus delivery in fMRI._
This ASK session will be held at 4:30 pm on Thursday the 27th of March.
This is a change from the original scheduling of Wednesday the 19th of
March. We will confirm the venue, but hope to host the session in B020
as before.
Remember that these sessions are intended to be a forum where you can
air your concerns, share your expertise and request a wish list for
solutions to be provided at (not necessarily by!) YNiC.
We hope to see you there.
Regards,
Andre'

----
National Brain Science Writing Prize 2008. In collaboration with EDAB,
At-Bristol and Focus magazine, the BNA is launching a competition this
week to find the best brain communicators. Could you write a
newspaper-style article celebrating the amazing world of brain science?

Dear colleagues
Last week we held a YNiC Thursday seminar on using Unix on the Macs. The
attendance was quite low suggesting that Users probably had enough
knowledge on this topic for them to be able to do what they needed at
that level of computing. The original idea was that the session would
continue this week but as we have had apologies even from those who had
attended last week, it seems that we should not hold today's seminar.
So, NO seminar today.
Next week there will be a new project presentation, 4pm, Thursday the
13th, YNiC open plan.
All welcome
Gary

Dear colleagues
As you know we have been encouraging users to use their 'scratch' disc
space for temporary files and as a workspace for intermediate analysis.
We monitor the total usage of this space daily and it is growing very
rapidly. We predict that this space will run out in a few days if we do
not act. The majority of the usage is by just a few users but, please,
if you have a large amount of data/information in scratch, can you look
at it and endeavour to delete anything that is redundant. If we do not
do this then the systems will fail.
One way of getting around these problems is to use a group space for
your project. Group scratch is not used much and is an efficient way of
sharing information without it having to be duplicated by each user,
within a group, in their own scratch space. If your project does not
have a group scratch directory then please email it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk
thanks
Gary
