Hi Everyone, *MSci project scanning* MSci projects kick off this week with pilots on Thursday and Friday, we are aiming for these projects to have collected all their data by the end of November, so *available time on the Siemens scanner in particular will be limited next month*. *YNiC User Inductions* If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. * Our next induction will be Friday 5th November at 11am*. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. *Level 0 operator training:* The* next L0 training session will be held on Tuesday 9th November at 10am*. Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal submitted to YNiC. Please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any questions or wish to book on to this session. *Please note that sessions are limited to 4 trainees, which will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.

Updated YNIC ethics forms
by Fiona McNab 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

Dear All, Daniel K, Andre and I (mostly Daniel K!) have updated three of the YNIC ethics documents: the guidance, the project proposal form (needed for first-time users of YNIC facilities and external applicants) and the ethics application form. Joe has put them on the website: https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/research/york-neuroimaging-centre/facilit… and they are attached here too. If you've started an old version and would prefer to continue with it, no problem! If there are any problems, please let me know. Best wishes, Fiona

Hi Everyone, *A number of desks in YNiC open-plan are now available for general use* on a first come first serve basis without reservation. Some desks have been allocated to individuals, so please only use those labelled as available for general use.* Open-plan will not be available for general use on Mondays* due to the requirement to retain a COVID-safe environment while running a clinical service.

Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal submitted to YNiC. All users that wish to be operator trained must have First Aid training. Please ensure that this has been completed, or is booked in, before contacting us to arrange training. Email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any questions or wish to book on to this session. Please note that places are limited and are allocated on a first-come first-served basis.

YNiC Remote Desktop access from Psychology
by Joe Lyons 06 Oct '21

06 Oct '21

Hello There is currently a bug in the version of x2go installed on the Psychology managed desktops which means you won't be able to suspend and resume sessions on the YNiC Remote Desktops. We're working on getting the correct version rolled out to these machines but in the mean time, you'll need to logout each time you want to disconnect. We'll let you know when the working version is installed. Thanks Joe -- Thanks Joe Lyons, UNIX Systems Administrator York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC), University of York joe.lyons(a)ynic.york.ac.uk - 01904 435343
