Request for example Psychopy stimulus presentation scripts
by Mark Hymers 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

Hi all, We are currently preparing a large software update for YNiC. This update will be applied during YNiC's closure in September. To assist us in our testing, we would like to request that labs provide us with example stimulus code which you have used at YNiC. This will help us build up a repository of stimulus code for regression test purposes. Please email me directly (mark.hymers(a)ynic.york.ac.uk). The easiest way to do this is for you to send a path to your code on the YNiC system along with a note that you are happy for us to copy the code and us it in our tests. More details about the upgrade work will follow over the next few weeks. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers, Lecturer in Neuroimaging Methods York NeuroImaging Centre and Department of Psychology University of York, UK Please note that my email address is: mark.hymers(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Responses to messages sent to other addresses may be delayed

Siemens scanner - normal service resumed
by Andre Gouws 23 Jul '19

23 Jul '19

Hi all, You will be glad to hear that we have the Siemens scanner back up and running. The transmit box in the scanner was the guilty party and the part took several hours to replace. Quality assurance tests have been run and the machine appears to be in spec. Normal service will resume as of tomorrow morning. Sorry again for anyone affected by the down time. Best wishes, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD Manager of Imaging Services York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

If you are aware of any students/staff that will require an IT account for YNiC, they must complete a User Induction first. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up for tomorrows induction. Finally, as I mentioned last week, please be aware that due to staff annual leave over the summer, there will be a limited number of operator covered slots across the two scanners.
