Hi all * IT upgrade and centre maintenance: We have completed the IT upgrade and centre maintenance works.

For a summary of software changes, please see the list at the end of this email. * Reception reorganisation: The works on our new reception area are now complete and bring us in line with the best practices outlined by the CQC (Care Quality Commission) - essentially we have made the reception more professional, more welcoming and crucially more secure.

This week at YNiC
by Andre Gouws 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

Hi all, As of lunchtime today, the centre will be closed to allow us to perform our annual IT systems upgrades. We have done our best to minimise disruptions but following these upgrades please do keep a close eye on your data processing and acquisition streams and let us know if there are any issues. Please note that we also use this opportunity to perform a number of other "housekeeping" jobs that include moving furniture and some minor building & decorating work - thus please consider the centre as *closed*. We will let you all know once everything is up and running again. -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Stimulus delivery - PRESENTATION will be removed from stim PCs
by Andre Gouws 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

As there has been practically no use of the Presentation stimulus delivery software package at YNiC over the past 12 months, we are not intending to renew the five licenses we currently purchase annually. As such, Presentation will no longer be available for use on the stimulus delivery PCs at YNiC after the centre IT upgrade next week. Please contact me if you have any queries. Thanks, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Hi all, No presentations this week, but the centre will be busy with the MSc CN project hand in deadline looming. Please note: * CENTRE CLOSURE Tuesday 21st - Friday 24th August. - A reminder that we are closed for part of next week for system upgrades. * RETURN OF SCREENING/CONSENT FORMS: With the reception works complete, please return all signed screening / general consent forms to the gray postbox next to the reception office door if the office is closed. * CENTRE ACCESS AND ALARMS: Keyholders should be aware that the main reception alarm will now be set when the centre is closed. If you are the first to enter, you will need to deactivate the alarm before opening the main shutter to the reception area. This alarm is in the cupboard immediately next to the key that opens the shutter. The alarm code is the same for all areas. -- If you have any queries please see a member of the team. -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Entering YNiC - reception refurbishment completed
by Andre Gouws 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Hi all, Thank you for your patience and cooperation during the remodeling of the YNiC reception area. A few minor cosmetic issues aside, the work is now completed and we can start to use the reception area as just that! Please enter and leave YNiC via this area from now on rather than the Biocentre entrance, and instruct anyone taking part in your studies to do so too. Best wishes, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356
