Our next induction will be on *Tuesday the 8th of October, at 10:00am*. 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 *Wednesday the 9th of October, 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.

Everyone is welcome — we’re particularly keen to have PhD students and post-docs join us. We'll have an informal discussion about the cognitive neuroscience methodologies each of us is using and/or interested in, and how YNiC can better support your research. If you are interested in leading a COGS session or giving a Seminar talk, please get in touch (jennifer.ashton(a)york.ac.uk).

Important updates to YNIC ethics
by Fiona McNab 10 Sep '24

10 Sep '24

Hi All, *For everyone:* we've updated some of the YNIC documents, so please make sure you use: - Version 10 of the REC application form, - Version 10 of the Participant Information Sheet, - Version 4 of the YNIC Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). We'll get all these forms on the website as soon as possible, but they're attached here as I know some of you are waiting for them. *For MEG users:* we now have a separate questionnaire for MEG, so you will use the MEG questionnaire for MEG, the existing one for fMRI and both if your participant is having MEG and fMRI. We also now have DPIA approval for the LIDAR system, which involves acquiring and storing images of the participant's face. Please note that researchers will have access to the transformation matrix generated with these images, but only YNIC staff will have access to the images themselves. Please do not attempt to copy or keep these images! The procedures are explained in the new DPIA (version 4, attached). If you wish to deviate from these procedures, you will need to check whether you'll need to get your own DPIA approval. Any questions, please let me know. Best wishes, Fiona
