Updates

by Antony Morland

Hello All, I've received a few questions about our closure on the week commencing 10th April. The centre will be accessible and you can use open plan computers and will be able to operate the scanners. However, YNiC will not be fully staffed and for this reason we will not be able to offer help with scanning or stimulus generation and analysis during this week. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Seminars and update

by Antony Morland

Hello All, Apologies, this should have been sent earlier this week. This week's seminar will be: '*The Siemens Scanner – what can it do (for you)?* by Alex Wade and Tony Morland. It will be at 4pm at YNiC - refreshments will follow. Also, this week (today, Wednesday) many of the YNiC staff and other investigators, who are trained or are in training to operate the scanners, will be attending a first aid course. YNiC will therefore have a skeleton staff on Wednesday. The MRI scanners are running well, but we are still having an uphill struggle with MEG. Happy scanning. Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.
