Hi Everyone,
As of Monday 23rd of September, *YNiC has reopened.*
Following the closure *we strongly recommend that users visit YNiC to test
their stimulus presentation scripts before their next scanning session.*
YNiC staff will provide support in modifying scripts, but this *must* be
done prior to scanning.
During the closure, IT updates described in the email from the 30th of
August were implemented. However, *FSL 6 will not be available* due to
compatibility issues.
The upgraded YNiC MEG suite is now in testing.
*We are inviting informal discussions of prospective MEG studies.*
During the closure the facility was re-decorated and *we welcome
contributions of A0 posters for display*.
The next *user inductions will take place on Thursday 3rd October* at 9am
and 11am. New students will be contacted about these sessions, and any
additional staff or existing PhD students that require an induction should
contact us to book onto one of these sessions.
There will be project *proposal presentations on Thursday the 26th of
September at 15:30* in open plan:
- "Pattern extraction and memory-guided decision-making" by Jamie
Cockcroft
- "Using intersubject correlations during movie-watching to assess the
neural basis of mind wandering" by Adam Turnbull.
There will be a talk by* guest speaker, Dr Ed Silson on Thursday the 26th
of September at 16:00* in open plan, on the subject of:
- "Scene perception, memory and the functional organisation of human
medial parietal cortex."
Cheers,
Rich
