Dear Colleagues
MEG is now up and running again. You can now book your MEG sessions
again through Claire.
It looks as though the Polhemus failed due to a fault in an serial line
isolator. So the whole system failed due to a £5 component. Sorry!
While we were waiting for a delivery of a new Polhemus system and the
engineeer, the YNiC team took the opportunity to reorganise the MEG
equipment room. The equipment and cables have been tidied, labelled and
organised. Please do not change anything in the equipment room as there
is now actually no need to change cables or equipment.
The camera has also been moved in the MSR (magnetically shielded room)
and it is now possible to monitor your subjects during an experiment
even if you are using the large screen. Please remember to tell your
subjects that they are being monitored.
Happy MEGing
Gary

Dear colleagues
Today we are being visited by the VC, the pro-VC for research and Sir
David Cooksey. David Cooksey wrote the recent government report on medical
research which has resulted in the setting up of the National Institute of
Medical Research and the integration of the NHS R&D programme with the
MRC. His current main interests are concerned with translational research.
If ...., you were thinking of visiting YNiC yourself today then it would
help us if you happened to be present in open plan between 1.30 and 2.15
with some interesting images on the screen. If anyone is doing experiments
within MRI or MEG then please be prepared to have visitors ask some
questions about what you are doing. Of course I cannot predict if they
will visit, whether they will be on time or whether they will actually
stop as we walk through open plan.
thank you
Gary
