FYI
*CONSCIOUSNESS AND ITS MEASURES***
*November 29 – December 1, 2009***
St. Raphael’s Beach Resort in Limassol, Cyprus**
*/ /*
The conference brings together people studying consciousness and people
developing the tools that allow the correlates of consciousness to be
measured. It is partly organized as a joint event by two COST Actions
/NeuroMath/ and /Consciousness./
* *
A satellite three-day course will follow after the conference dealing
with the mathematical aspects of the EEG and MEG source localization,
emphasizing the mathematical foundation on the first day, applications
via hands on examples on the second (EEG) and third (MEG) day.

Dear Users
As you are aware YNiC has been closed for the last fortnight as we
upgraded and replaced much of our IT infrastructure.
Whereas previous changes have hopefully been relatively transparent, the
replacement of the open plan analysis workstations is not something
you'll be likely to miss. We're confident that the new systems will
allow a greater flexibility in the neuroimaging analysis you do, but if
you have any problems finding your way round the new machines there are
some pointers on the docwiki to get you started. The page can be found at:
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/TransitionDocumentation
Whilst we think the changeover has gone pretty smoothly, there are still
one or two jobs we need to finish off before YNiC is back in full
operating mode. These mainly concern internal procedures but we are also
rigorously testing as many stages of the analysis pipeline as possible.
The new machines and software offer very many new opportunities. This is
exciting but also means that even more testing of software is
required before we are confident of making the new tools fully
available. Some of you will be consulted in the process of this testing
as your experience, skills and datasets are likely to help perform tests.
You will already see that a much wider range of applications is now
available as we have moved to using Linux as the operating system. The
main effort over the last few months has been to ensure that all the
standard previous applications are available to Users. The next steps
will be to provide new facilities that have been on the wish-list.
We are currently working to increase the available
amount of disk space, which is getting rather low. Some of you may get
an email over the next day or two about archiving some of your data. We
really need your help as disc space is becoming quite a problem. We now
store some 9.5Terabytes of user data. The main projects quite correctly
use the 'scratch' space for results. Usage is currently at a level of
3.9Terabytes or 98% of the available space! We are having to take urgent
action to free up space as otherwise no one will be able to carry out
any analyses. In fact until we do this we cannot support beamforming or
FSL, so we are working on this as a matter of urgency.
As part of this process some files are being converted to a format which
will take up much less space, and to do this we are using the cluster,
so for the time being it is unavailable for either MRI or MEG job
submission. We will announce when the cluster is available again for
general use.
Further emails will follow to keep you informed on progress.
I would like to publicly thank the YNiC staff for the extra effort that
has gone into making the IT upgrade a success. Particular thanks must go
to Mark Hymers and Sam Johnson for the remarkable amount of time and
effort that they have put into making the IT changeover possible.

Hello All,
At a recent Research Governance Committee Meeting it was agreed to inform
the users of the facilities at YNiC of the opportunity to undertake and
online course on Diversity in the Workplace. The course can be found at the
following URL.
