Dear Users
I am going to postpone tonight's discussion of the YNiC structural
scans. Sorry if this causes any inconvenience.
We have been reviewing the concept of the structural scans, their
content and how they are used for some time.
We have carried out the same type of structural scan for the last seven
years. Whilst we would not wish to just abandon current practice there
is no doubt that we can improve the nature of the structural scans so
that they support a wider range of research activities, are 'better' in
terms of their use in various software packages and provide improved
signal to noise, improved grey/white discrimination....
We have been investigating a wide range of options for the structural. I
believe we need to collate and review more scientific evidence so that
we can present as informed a view as possible as to the best practice
going forward. We will not reach a consensus by simply debating this in
a seminar without everyone having sight of the evidence beforehand.
At the same time we have looked at our policy and procedures for dealing
with anomalies. From the first of January this new policy will be
implemented and of course we will keep you informed as to the new
procedures ahead of that start date. In principle we are going to follow
new guidelines and advise participants if we are sending a set of scans
away for independent reporting. This also requires a careful
consideration of the timing and the nature of the data we collect
regarding possible anomalies.
Therefore, I would like to change from a simple presentation and
discussion this evening to YNiC producing a document that will examine
the options, provide the evidence and suggest a way forward. This will
be circulated and discussion can then take place based on all the
evidence as well as any financial implications.
If you would like to still come to YNiC and start the celebrations for
the 100th paper, you will be very welcome. Cakes will be provided

Many congratulations to Uzma Urooj, Piers Cornelissen, Michael Simpson,
Katie Wheat, Will Woods, Laura Barca and Andy Ellis, who have just had a
paper accepted by the journal Neuroimage.
This is a landmark in the history of YNiC - it is the 100th paper and a
measure of the authors' tremendous patience and persistence as this
reports on work that started in the first few weeks of YNiC's life as a
working imaging Centre. A tremendous achievement.
Look out for the party announcement. It is 100 papers and almost 10
years since Andy Ellis's and Andy Young's vision resulted in the start
of the building of YNiC in January 2004.
The paper is:
Interactions between visual and semantic processing during object
recognition revealed by modulatory effects of age of acquisition.
Urooj, U., Cornelissen, P.L., Simpson, M.I., Wheat, K.L., Woods, W.,
Barca, L. & Ellis, A.W.

2-Year Postdoctoral Fellowship
MEG, Motor Control and Autism
Brain Dynamics and Cognition Lab
Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, France
Applications are invited for a 2-year full-time Postdoctoral Position at
the Brain Dynamics and Cognition Lab of the Lyon Neuroscience Research
Center (CRNL) in Lyon to work on an MEG motor control study in adults
and children. The post-doc is part of an exciting new project recently
funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR SAMENTA) which aims
to explore the large-scale brain dynamics of motor control in healthy
subjects and its alteration in autism.
Key requirements
The ideal candidate will have a PhD in neuroscience, cognitive sciences,
neuroimaging or a related field and a strong interest in neuronal
oscillations, cortico-muscular coupling, and large-scale brain dynamics.
The candidate is expected to have a solid background in MEG data
analysis (e.g. time-frequency analysis, source reconstruction techniques
and connectivity measures) and good programming skills primarily in
MATLAB. Additionally, a background in motor control and/or development
studies will be beneficial. Fluency and solid writing skills in English
are expected. French is not a requirement but could be an important
asset.
The Brain Dynamics and Cognition Lab (headed by Olivier Bertrand) is one
of 11 teams that make up the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center which
consists of about 350 researchers whose research covers an extremely
broad range of neuroscience topics ranging from cells to organisms and
from cognition to clinical applications. The imaging facilities and
electrophysiological platforms available include MEG, EEG, MRI, PET, TMS
and intracranial EEG.
Lyon boasts a vibrant and stimulating neuroscience environment and a
culturally rich city life. It is home of the Lumière brothers, the
pioneers of cinema, and of Saint Exupéry (author of the Little Prince).
Lyon is renowned for its traditional and gastronomic cuisine and is
ideally located just an hour away from the Alpes, 2 hours from Paris and
an hour and a half from Marseille and the Mediterranean sea.
How to apply?
Applications in the form of a cover letter with statement of research
interests and a CV with a full list of publications should be sent by
email to Christina Schmitz (christina.schmitz(a)inserm.fr) and to Karim
Jerbi (karim.jerbi(a)inserm.fr). Potential candidates are also encouraged
to send an inquiry email if they wish to find out more about the
position before applying.
Expected starting date: February/March 2014, but applications will be
considered until the position is filled.
Please feel free to forward this announcement to colleagues and students
who could be interested in this position.
