New YNiC Lead Technical Specialist
by Aidan Horner 01 Jul '26

01 Jul '26

Dear all, As many of you are aware, Andre Gouws stepped down as our YNiC Lead Technical Specialist recently. I am please to say that after a competitive externally advertised round of recruitment we have appointed Dr Elisa Zamboni. Some of you will already know Elisa as she was previously at York. She will be joining us on 1st October, so please make her feel welcome on her arrival. She is joining at an exciting time for YNiC. We are starting to look for funding mechanisms to upgrade our current MRI scanner, have recently purchased new TMS equipment, and have new clinical and clinical trial scanning to set up and support. Elisa will be a welcome addition to the team and will be integral to ensuring these new ventures are a success. Any questions, please get in contact with myself and Beth. As always, we want YNiC to be an open, accessible environment for existing and potential users so feel free to reach out to us whatever your future plans might be and we will do our best to support you. Best wishes, Aidan -- *I work 0.8FTE and my working days are Monday-Wednesday and Friday* =========================================================== Prof Aidan J Horner Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience Co-Director York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC) Department of Psychology University of York York YO10 5DD https://www.aidanhorner.org/ ===========================================================

Upcoming Maintenance Work in YNIC (July 4th–5th)
by Jennifer Ashton 01 Jul '26

01 Jul '26

Hello, Please be aware that maintenance work will be taking place in the YNIC this coming weekend (4th and 5th of July). On Saturday, the main work will be concentrated in the open-plan area. If possible, we recommend working via Remote Desktop on this day rather than coming into the building. On Sunday, workmen will be on-site in other areas of the Biocentre, so please expect some minor disruptions and noise throughout the day. Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.

SPSS in YNiC
by Joe Lyons 29 Jun '26

29 Jun '26

Hello We've had a few enquiries about SPSS in YNiC. SPSS 27 was the last version to be made for the Linux system we use here. IBM have since decided not to develop a linux version going forward. The University stopped licensing the version we have installed as it's no longer supported. SPSS is available on the centrally managed Virtual Desktop Service, https://www.york.ac.uk/it-services/tools/vds/. We're looking at alternative statistical analysis software packages for YNiC and will update you once we have once available. Thanks Joe -- Thanks Joe Lyons Senior Research IT Infrastructure Engineer York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC), University of York joe.lyons(a)york.ac.uk 01904 325949 | 01904 325940

YNiC Closures
by Katya Krieger-Redwood 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

Dear Users, Due to the external works (which you may have noticed in the YNiC carpark!) as part of the University's Deep Geothermal Energy Project <https://www.york.ac.uk/about/sustainability/campus-operations/climate-actio…>, we have unfortunately had to close the centre on a few occasions at short notice. We are working hard to liaise with estates to minimise the impact on users, however, we are sorry for the disruption caused to your research. We are hopeful that the only remaining closures will be on *Friday 12th*, *Thursday 18th *and *Friday 19th of June* as they are due to do some extensive drilling and this will affect our ability to collect useful data for your projects. We will update you if there are any changes to this. Thank you very much for your understanding, Katya
