YNiC Seminar Series - ECR *CogNeuroGanza* 2-3pm YNiC Open plan
by Maryann Noonan 27 Oct '26

27 Oct '26

Dear all, Our next YNiC event will be dedicated to the Cog Neuro ECRs. This will be a 1 -hour social for PhD students in Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging and MSc students in Cognitive Neuroscience. Our hope is it will give students on these pathways an opportunity to get to know each other better across the cohort years, building knowledge and ultimately opening up the possibility of collaboration and academic peer support. *Note the new time of 2-3pm. * The plan: 10 minute brief presentation about neuroscience-related things, e.g., BRAIN, any YNiC sessions (e.g., COGS, etc) + who to expect to see (PhD wise) across the year in MSc modules. 40 min nerdy fun and games? - neuro-bingo (20 mins): as a team (of PhD and MSc students mixed) come up with 25 neuroscience related words, then we will put all key words in a hat and play bingo and first to a straight line of 5 vertically, horizontally or diagonally wins - an exercise in integrating your visual and motor cortices (20 mins): in the same groups, one person from each group is shown a picture for 30 secs and tries to remember the image, and then the group works together to recreate the picture, another person in the group is shown the image for 30 secs, repeat and best recreation wins 5 min round up I hope as many of you can come as possible.

MEG unavailable 26-27th October
by Richard Aveyard 21 Oct '26

21 Oct '26

Hello All, As part of the University's large infrastructure project to make use of more sustainable energy (see link below for more info), there will be building work outside YNiC next week. A cherry picker and various other larger pieces of machinery will be used to install pipework to the outside of the Building. We expect the movement of heavy machinery to cause significant data artifacts for MEG, so we have made the *MEG* *system unavailable for booking on Monday the 26th and Tuesday the 27th of October*. We anticipate normal service to continue on Wednesday the 28th of October, and will keep you updated. Apologies for any disruption this may cause to your research, unfortunately there is limited flexibility for the building work to be rescheduled due to the scale of the infrastructure project. Please let us know if you anticipate this causing a disproportionate disruption, at support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Geothermal project info: https://www.york.ac.uk/about/sustainability/campus-operations/climate-actio… Best Wishes, Rich -- Dr Richard Aveyard Senior Technical Specialist York NeuroImaging Centre University of York, UK

For anyone with MSci project students
by Fiona McNab 09 Oct '26

09 Oct '26

Hi All, Just to clarify, if you will be running an MSci project that involves analysing YNIC data on YNIC systems, you will need ethical approval from the YNIC ethics committee, not Psychology. If it's a group project, each student will also need to complete a shorter ethics form themselves, which is a BPS requirement. There is no specific short form for YNIC, so please ask them to complete the same form that all the other students will complete, which can be found here: Individual short ethics form for group projects <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d8b4M9gdM5xSrfkDLUuKuUMhFswwl9QLFbgXplS…>. This does not need to be submitted, but should be kept by the supervisor. Thanks, Best wishes, Fiona
