mrVista - Population Receptive Field Mapping Workshop
by Marc Himmelberg 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hi All, I'd like to gather expressions of interest for those those who would be interested in attending a 'MrVista - Population Receptive Field Mapping' workshop at YNiC. For those of you not familiar with mrVista, it is a MATLAB interface for analysing functional and anatomical MRI data, based on the Vistasoft toolbox developed by Stanford University, whilst population receptive field (pRF) mapping is a form of retinotopic mapping, where we compute a model of pRFs and visual field maps within the visual cortex (Dumoulin, S. O., & Wandell, B. A. (2008). Population receptive field estimates in human visual cortex. *NeuroImage*, *39*(2), 647–660. https://www.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3073038/). The aim of the workshop is to familiarise yourself with fMRI analysis using mrVista and learn how to conduct visual field mapping using the pRF method - including data collection/running stimuli, structural processing and segmentation, pre-processing, running the model, localising visual field maps, and plotting data. The workshop will run over 3 days at YNiC open plan and each session will cover both theory and practical. All required data and software will be supplied. Dates scheduled are: *Monday 31st July* 9:30am - 5pm *Tuesday 1st August* 9:30am - 5pm *Monday 7th August* 9:30am - 5pm Please let me know if you are interested in attending or have any questions. Thanks. Best, Marc -- Marc Himmelberg PhD Student | ESR within NextGenVis ITN PS/C018, Department of Psychology University of York York, YO10 5DD UK

Large scale data sets
by Jonny Smallwood 04 Jun '17

04 Jun '17

Hello YNIC users, We are trying to gauge interest in the use of large scale data sets by users of the imaging centre. There are a growing number of open access data sets that contain data from large samples of participants with phenotypical data and a range of brain imaging measures (often resting state as well as task data). I have added links to two of these data sets that I have had experience using and publishing data from. It would be very helpful if users who thought that this kind of data would be beneficial to their ongoing work could get in contact with me. This would allow the centre to get a sense of how many people would be interested in using these types of data. Thanks, Jonny http://www.humanconnectomeproject.org/ http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/indi/enhanced/ -- Jonathan Smallwood, Reader in Psychology / Cognitive Neuroscience Room C023, Department of Psychology, University of York, England.
