This Week at YNiC
by Lauren Welbourne 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Hi everyone I hope you are all doing well this week. As you might expect, we don't have any new announcements for you, so here are the usual reminders, and a link to our Thursday Journal Club talk for this week (that's right, we've already picked it this week!). *Logging out of the Remote Desktop* We would like to remind users about the importance of *logging out* to end remote desktop sessions at the end of the day. You should treat the remote desktop in the same way as the open plan PCs, and log out as you normally would once you finish for the day (i.e. Applications > Log Out) - once you've logged out your session should automatically terminate, but if not, you should also terminate the session on the x2go client. *Support* If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly. *YNiC Journal Club - Thursday 4pm* This week the talk we will be watching together is the Keynote lecture from OHBM 2019 by Roshan Cools, title: "Chemistry of the Adaptive Mind" ( https://www.pathlms.com/ohbm/courses/12238/sections/15844/video_presentatio… ) We will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of the YNiC staff will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, add comments in the zoom chat, or just discuss it at the end. Note that there is no pressure to have your mic or video on at any time during or after the talk (you also don't need to watch it in advance).

As usual, we haven't decided on the video yet, but what I will do is add the YouTube link to the zoom meeting title once we have decided (in case you want to see what's on the agenda before attending the Journal Club). The plan is that we will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of us will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, or just discuss it at the end.

Hi everyone I hope you enjoyed the extended Bank Holiday weekend (despite the limited options for activities!). YNiC staff are continuing to maintain the centre (on an alternating schedule to maintain social distancing) to ensure that MEG helium fills, MRI scanner DQAs, and Backups are performed regularly. We have a couple of points we would like to make YNiC users aware of today: *Closing Remote Desktop Sessions* Once you have finished your remote desktop sessions for the day, whenever possible please log out and shutdown your session (rather than just suspending). *Support* If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly. *YNiC Journal Club - Thursday 4pm* This week we will be watching a YouTube video of a talk given by Kendrick Kay at the OSA Fall Vision Meeting in 2017, titled: "Bottom-up and Top-down computations in word- and face-selective cortex". The plan is that we will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of us will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, or just discuss it at the end. If you want to watch it in advance, or can't make it on Thursday, the link is here: https://youtu.be/KNyXL4ObA6s Zoom Meeting details: Topic: YNiC Journal Club Time: This is a recurring meeting Meet anytime Join Zoom Meeting https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/92531105447?pwd=aHNVa1ZBUUMwd0ZlWW1WMEFJY3hEQT… Meeting ID: 925 3110 5447 Password: 005039 One tap mobile +442034815237,,92531105447#,,#,005039# United Kingdom +442034815240,,92531105447#,,#,005039# United Kingdom Take care, Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY

Hi all I hope everyone is staying safe and well. As you may have seen, the University is adding an extra two days to the Easter holiday this weekend, so the University will be closed from Wednesday 8th to Monday 13th April. Therefore, YNiC user support will also be unavailable over that period. You will still be able to use the remote desktop, if you wish. More hard work from Joe, Mark and Rich last week means that we've now increased our remote desktop capacity even further. However, to ensure that everyone can make use of the remote desktop, please note that any large analyses must *only *be run on the cluster, and not directly on the remote desktop. Any users that do not use the remote desktop responsibly will have their sessions terminated by our IT team, so please adhere to this restriction. Please see the information and further page links here: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/Cluster. I hope you are able to enjoy some work-free time over the bank holiday weekend! In the meantime, if you are experiencing any technical issues please send us a ticket at support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, with screenshots and details of the errors. All the best Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY

YNiC Journal Club - today 4pm
by Lauren Welbourne 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hi everyone Apologies for the delay in sending you the paper for this week. Alex Wade will be presenting the attached paper by Tyler, Lani and Hwang (2018), Ultrasonic modulation of neural circuit activity, Current Opinion in Neurobiology. The link to the google hangout is here: https://meet.google.com/mzy-titj-yrq Last week we had a little chat at the start, but mainly had cameras and mic's off so that it was easier to hear the presenter, so we'll go for that method again this time. See you (sort of) at 4pm! Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY
