Hi all,
We are coming to the end of an era. The "4D / York Instruments / Aveyard
Industries" hybrid MEG scanner that was originally commissioned in 2004
will be allowed to warm up (and thus stop working) as we reach the end
of our allocated liquid helium supply in 2 weeks time.
Firstly, this is a last call for anyone currently using the system to
wrap up ASAP. Contact us if you need support.
Second, for those interested in using MEG at YNiC in the future, the
replacement MEG system (Optical pump magnetometers; no liquid Helium so
more sustainable [and affordable]) has been funded through the
University's Capital Investment Scheme is being ordered and commissioned
as we speak - we hope to have it up and running from Q2 2024.
Best wishes,
--
André

Dear users,
Following downtime earlier this week, the Siemens scanner is running and
available for use again. Please fill out your scan reimbursement forms if
you were affected by the downtime.
Also note, it will be out of action next Thursday (27th) for further
preventative maintenance.
Thank you

Hi all,
Don't forget to come down to YNiC for our seminar presented by Professor
Micah Murray.
Micah is the Scientific and Academic Director of the Sense Innovation and
Research Center, Lausanne, Switzerland and section head, EEG CHUV-UNIL at
the Center for Biomedical Imaging. At noon he will be giving a talk on
recent work he has been doing on high spatial- and temporal-resolution fMRI
and also on recent advances in EEG.
*12 Noon, Weds 19th July, at YNiC*
*Title: "From old dogs to new tricks in human EEG and fMRI"*
Some links are provided to give you more background:

Dear Users,
Unfortunately there has been a fault with the Siemens MRI scanner over the
weekend. We are working to get this fixed as soon as possible, but will be
unable to run any scans in the meantime.
We will keep you updated.
Many thanks,

Hi all,
As many of you will have noticed, the Siemens scanner was blocked out for
use next week for the removal of GE. This work has now been postponed, so
we have released the scanner for booking next week. We are not able to
provide operator cover, as we have already committed to covering MEG, but
if you are able to operate yourselves, please go ahead and book.
Apologies for the late notice and any inconvenience caused
Thanks

Subject: poster abstracts for MEG-UKI
Hi all,
Just a very quick word. Places are filling up nicely for the MEG-UKI
meeting but we haven't had a lot of poster abstract submissions as yet.
Please do encourage your labs and colleagues to submit something (not
obligatory that there be MEG data involved specifically). We understand
that some are not ready to commit to an abstract just yet so please note
that *we're happy for people to register now and submit a poster abstract
later on* through the conference e-mail address (meguki2023(a)gmail.com) with
the deadline for the abstracts being 1st August.
All the best
Redmond
