by rem 30 May '08

30 May '08

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 -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Tuesday 3rd June
by Gary Green 30 May '08

30 May '08

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 -- 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

4-D Neuorimaging IUGM
by rem 21 May '08

21 May '08

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 -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

URGENT Publications and conference presentations
by Andy Ellis 21 May '08

21 May '08

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 Andy -- Professor Andy Ellis Department of Psychology University of York York YO10 5DD England Tel. +44 (0)1904 433140 http://www.york.ac.uk/depts/psych/www/people/biogs/awe1.html

[Fwd: [ Post-doc position at CUBRIC, Cardiff]
by Gary Green 16 May '08

16 May '08

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: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/jobs/academic/index.html http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/jobs/academic/20080298-290508.html Vacancy ref: 2008/0298 The closing date for applications is Friday 29 May 2008.

YNiC ASC - Today - 4pm B020
by Michael Simpson 14 May '08

14 May '08

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.

Piers Cornelissen ASC - Wednesday 14th May - 4pm B020.
by Michael Simpson 13 May '08

13 May '08

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. Michael -- 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 Piers C -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk
