Hi All, To clarify: All currently booked slots will be honoured. It is just the ability to book NEW slots that is being temporarily suspended.

Temporary Block on Booking
by Antony Morland 09 Jul '10

09 Jul '10

Dear All, I have temporarily suspended the ability to book scan slots until the end of July. I hope to allow normal booking procedures to be reset by the end of the day (Friday 9th July). Unfortunately, I have had to take this action because some projects that have strict deadlines for completion have struggled obtain sufficient scan hours under the current system of booking. I will be consulting with the project teams to resolve this today. Rest assured that all the research time between now and the end of July will not be booked as a result of this consultation process. I will update this list, when normal service resumes. Best wishes Tony

YNiC seminar today
by rem 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

Dear Users Today (4 pm in YNiC) there will be a talk by Lee Harrison from YNiC. The title of Lee's talk is "Bayesian Inference in Neuroimaging". Abstract: "Analyzing data involves quantifying the uncertainties inherent in their production, e.g. measurement noise. A way to achieve this is to formulate models in terms of probabilities, in other words, Bayesian models. A Bayesian approach provides a language to formally represent such uncertainty and the tools necessary to manipulate these notions in a coherent manner. The aim of this talk is to give an overview of some of the ideas and rhetoric used in constructing Bayesian models, estimating them and applying them to neuroimaging problems. The talk is based on an introduction to Bayesian inference given at the Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) short course. The emphasis will be on applications and not the equations. For example, using Dynamic Causal Models (DCM) to ask questions about interactions between cortical regions and spatial models to implement a computational model of how an observer represents uncertainty in a sequence of events." Everyone is welcome to attend. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Dear all, on Wednesday July 7th, there will be the University Open Day. Between 10:00 to 15:00, YNiC will be particularly busy with tours of the centre. Open plan will still be available during this period, but may be a bit noisier than usual. It might not be the day for a lab meeting in Open Plan ...
