Today's seminar : Cancellation

by Gary Green

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 Gary -- --------------- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre & Centre for Hyperpolarisation in Magnetic Resonance The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY tel +44 (0) 1904 435349 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004 http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk http://http://www.york.ac.uk/chym/ https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg PA : Claire Fox tel +44 (0) 1904 435329 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 Claire.Fox(a)ynic.york.ac.uk

100th paper at YNiC

by Gary Green

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.

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.
