Hello
We'll be taking the YNiC IT systems offline on *Tuesday 5th March *at *9am*
while electrical contractors test the power circuits in the server room. We
expect the work to take no more that 30 minutes. This will affect all IT
services including remote desktop and the cluster.
Thanks

Dear all,
As mentioned in the recent Psychology staff meeting, we have now made an
office in YNiC available for everyone to use. There are 3 desks in the
office, 2 with YNiC desktop PCs and one is a hot desk with a single
USB-C plugin. The office is the first one on the left as you come into
the open plan area in YNiC. If you would like to spend more time in YNiC
but want a bit more privacy than the open plan area allows for, then
this is the space for you!
For now the room isn't bookable. We will see how the room is used and by
whom over the coming months and can reassess whether it should be a
bookable space in the future. The main message is, come spend some time
in YNiC and talk to us about your awesome research plans!
Best wishes,
Aidan

Hi All,
The Siemens scanner has developed a serious fault this afternoon, and it is
not currently operational. An engineer has inspected the system and
diagnosed the issue, but unfortunately the repair will take some time. We
have been advised that the scanner will not be functional next week (26/2 -
1/3).
Please ensure that you contact all the participants that you have scheduled
to scan next week, to let them know that their scan sessions will have to
be cancelled and rescheduled for a later date. We apologise for the
substantial disruption, unfortunately this is an age-related fault that
could not be prevented.
We will do everything we can to get the scanner up and running as soon as
possible, and we will keep you updated as soon as we know when it will be
available again.
Best Wishes,
Rich

Hi everyone,
This is a reminder that this week (Friday 23rd Feb, 11.30am, YNiC) we have
our first "Cogs" meeting of the year. David Watson will be leading a
session on "The Food Area of the Brain
<https://uniofyork.padlet.org/tomhartley/cogs-7svj1mgvsc2jq2yp/wish/27740619…>"
that will look at this study
<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982222012866> from
Khosla, Murty & Kanwisher (Current Biology, 2022).
Cogs meetings are a format designed to generate informal and lively
discussion about topics that excite and inspire us. It's open to
undergrads, academics, masters students, postdocs, research staff, PhD
students, YNiC staff and basically anyone with an interest in cognitive
neuroscience at the University of York.
If you'd like to present a session, if you have ideas for topics that would
be good to hear about , or if you want to find out what others are
suggesting please take a look at the discussion board, or email us.
*discussion board: *

Hello,
A quick update to let you know when our next training and induction
sessions are scheduled, and how to apply to give a YNiC seminar.
*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 on *Thursday the 7th of March at 10:00*. 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 Thursday the 14th of March,
13:00-15:00. * 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. Training must be booked at least a week before the session date, in
order to reserve the scanner booking.
*YNiC Seminar*
If you would like to give a talk this semester, please get in touch, there
are no specific requirements; presentations can include previously
collected data, new data, pilot data and/or study plans and ideas. This is
a great way to get feedback in a relaxed and friendly environment. Please
message support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk.
Cheers,
Rich

Hi Everyone,
We have our YNiC seminar series starting again tomorrow at 1pm. *Dr Richard
Aveyard *will be presenting an introduction to the Brain Imaging Data
Structure (BIDS)*.*
*The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) is becoming the standard format
for organizing and sharing neuroimaging data. It has been adopted by a
large number of research groups for internal use, as well as the OpenNeuro,
SchizConnect, Developing Human Connectome Project, and FCP-INDI databases.
This seminar will give a beginner's introduction to BIDS, and how it can be
combined with containerized computing.*
We really hope to see everyone at YNiC! If you are unable to attend the
talk in person, you can catch it on zoom using the following link:
