This afternoon Andre Gouws will be giving a presentation (4-5 pm) in
YNiC open plan.
The title of Andre's talk is "Suppressive feedback from the visual
cortex to the LGN: Evidence from negative BOLD".
This presentation will include results and discussion of data presented
at SFN this year, and will conclude with a project presentation for
extension of the current work.
Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be available afterwards.

come up early for the seminar would be advised to not come up too early.
Thanks,

Hi all,
IF YOU USE PRESENTATION IN fMRI PLEASE READ THIS!
We have recently been experiencing issues with the synchronisation of
stimulus code in Presentation with pulses from the scanner. This problem
has been intermittent and inconsistent. As many scans rely on precise
timings by synch-ing with specific pulses from the scanner, we have had
to come up with an alternate solution.
Without boring you with the fine detail, we are using a different port
on the scanner to provide us with the pulse information. After extensive
testing this afternoon, this port seems to give consistent output while
the other does not.
Anyone using pulses from the scanner to synchronise their presentation
stimuli should note the following:
Change "pulses_per_scan" in your scenario header (.sce files) to the
actual number of slices you are acquiring. In the past this has been set
to half the number (e.g. if you were acquiring 38 slices per TR you had
pulses_per_scan = 19). Just to make that clear, YOU SHOULD DOUBLE THE
NUMBER YOU CURRENTLY HAVE IN pulses_per_scan.
N.B. YOU MUST CHANGE THESE NUMBERS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT OR YOUR TIMINGS
WILL BE INCORRECT.
Also note that when you run your pulses calibration scan you will now
get twice the number of pulses you got before.
This will not affect your data in any way, it simply means that you are
getting a pulse for every slice from the scanner, rather than every
second slice.
This will work for all TRs, and the back room settings should now be the
same for all researchers.
If you have any queries, please contact me.

Dear Users
Today (starting at 4 pm) Beth Jefferies from the Department of Psychology
will give a talk on "TMS studies of semantic cognition".
In this talk, Beth will discuss recent studies examining the extended
neural networks underpinning semantic representation and control, talk about
the new equipment that is in the YNiC TMS lab, and describe a planned
study which combines TMS and fMRI to investigate how this brain
network responds to stimulation.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
Best wishes
Rebecca

Hello all,
Just a reminder that between 13:15 and 15:15 YNiC open plan will be
pretty much full with the MSc practical, so again, if you were planning
to come up before the seminars you'd be much better off waiting till
they've finished.
Thanks,
Sam
