Dear Users
We have some visitors coming to YNiC on Wednesday 4th June from
4.30-7.30 pm. We will be talking to the visitors in Open Plan and they
will need access to at least half of the iMacs.
If you intend to work in Open Plan on Wednesday afternoon, please could
you move to a computer towards the back of the room (i.e. away from the
projector) as we approach 4.30 pm.
Thank you
Rebecca

Dear colleagues
On Tuesday the 3rd of June from 2pm onwards, YNiC will be reviewed by
the University. A committee will be investigating how we operate,
talking to users & staff and reviewing our space.
If you are thinking of working at YNiC that day, it would help us to
have users in the open plan area in case the Committee Members wish to
talk about User experiences/research. Of course I cannot guarantee that
they will want to do this as we have only been sent a general outline
about what they wish to cover in the two and half hour visitation
Thanks
Gary

Dear Users
The 4-D Neuroimaging International Users' Group Meeting will be held
from 13th-15th July. YNiC has been asked to give a number of
presentations; one of which is a slot on the "sensory/cognitive
roundtable". This will be an excellent opportunity to present exciting
MEG results from the YNiC user community to the rest of the 4-D IUGM
delegates.
Last year three users allowed me to use their data in the presentation.
As each speaker at last year's roundtable was only given 6 minutes each
to present, I could only include a couple of slides from each user. I
envisage that the format will be similar this year and therefore I would
only need a couple of slides from any user who would like to share their
data.
Either Michael Simpson or I will be the YNiC representative on the
sensory/cognitive roundtable panel. For now please register any interest
in using your data in the roundtable with me.
Best wishes
Rebecca

I have agreed to collate information on publications and conference
presentations reporting YNiC work. The deadline is very tight.
Please could you send me ASAP a list of your own papers and
presentations, including forthcoming work. One or two papers 'in
preparation' would also be helpful.
Many thanks

Dear users
I have been asked to forward this :
------------
FMRI & EEG studies of neurovascular coupling
Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC)
School of Psychology
Post-doctoral Research Associate (Combined EEG-FMRI)
Applications are invited for an experienced neuroimaging researcher to
work on combined EEG-FMRI and quantitative FMRI techniques in humans. You
would work with the FMRI Director, Dr Richard Wise, to develop empirical
measures of neurovascular coupling in humans. This is important in the
long term development of FMRI as a technique for examining changes in
brain activity induced by pharmacological agents and neurological disease.
The successful applicant would design, implement and analyze combined
EEG-FMRI studies with the aim of exploring the relationship between
electrophysiological and haemodynamic signals for both sensory-evoked and
ongoing (resting) brain activity. An important component of the project
lies in relating FMRI signals to physiological measurements from
volunteers. (e.g. breathing, cardiac cycle). Respiratory challenges (e.g.
breathing tasks) and pharmacological challenges in collaboration with
clinical colleagues would also be used to modify the baseline physiology
of participants in experiments. Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant
area of neuroimaging and be experienced in the analysis of FMRI data.
The post is fixed-term for 2 years with a salary up to £33780 (grade 6).
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Richard Wise, CUBRIC, School of
Psychology, Cardiff University, Park Place, Cardiff, UK, CF10 3AT.
(http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/psych/cubric/).
Telephone: +44 (0)29 2087 0358
Email: WiseRG(a)cardiff.ac.uk .
Applications should be made through the Cardiff University website:

Vacancy ref: 2008/0298
The closing date for applications is Friday 29 May 2008.

Dear all,
given that at least 2 members of YNiC staff had failed to remember that
there is an ASC today, I thought it would do no harm to send a another
reminder.
So, 4pm today, Psychology B020, see the email sent to ynic-users
yesterday for the agenda.

Dear all,
Piers has forwarded to me the following agenda for the YNiC ASC
tomorrow, Wednesday 14th May. Just to remind you, this will take place
in Psychology room B020 at 4pm.

Dear all,
We have just finished some preliminary analyses of MEG data collected
from a fast phonological priming task (e.g. brane priming BRAIN, versus
brone priming BRAIN) that I would like to report and discuss.
The reason for doing the experiment, as many of you know, is that I have
wanted to get some clearer insight into the role of the very early
activation we have seen across a number of experiments, in left post.
sup. IFG and adjacent precentral gyrus during visual word recognition tasks.
Initial results from the group analysis of beamformed images within
experimental conditions were very encouraging - a real yippee moment.
However, once we started analysing virtual electrode data to compare
directly between experimental conditions, things become a bit more
prickly. While we currently have some results which I think are
convincing, I would really like to discuss the issues that have been
raised especially regarding the group comparisons of Stockwell
transforms, such as:
a) For comparisons of Stockwell plots at the group level should we
compare differences or percentage signal change between conditions?
b) How should we handle the (in our case) quite marked inter-subject
variability?
c) Should we consider some kind of normalisation between pairs of
conditions prior to statistical analysis?
We would really appreciate your thoughts on these and other questions,
and your opinions about how best to proceed,
Best
