Hi All,
The neuroimagoing centre will be closed to researchers between Wednesday
the 20th of December, and Monday the 1st of December, inclusive.
IT work will be taking place on the 20th of December, so access to YNiC IT
systems (including the remote desktops) will be unavailable that day, but
should be available otherwise.
Due to limited staff availability, there will be no operator cover provided
2nd - 5th of January, inclusive, but the centre will be open for
researchers to use the open-plan computing facilities and to run their own
scans.
Please get in touch if you anticipate this causing acute problems.
Cheers,
Rich

Hello,
We're looking for speakers for our YNiC seminar next semester. Everybody is
welcome to present, and presentations can include previously collected
data, new data, pilot data, study plans/ideas, discussions about
theoretical/technical advances or anything else you think others would be
interested in. These usually take place on Wednesdays at 4pm (but we can be
flexible if this time doesn't suit you).
If you don't currently use YNiC, but would like to, this would be a great
opportunity to discuss your area of research and gain inspiration for
future neuroimaging endeavours.
If you are interested, please get in touch!
Many thanks,
Jennifer

Subject: YNiC seminar next Wednesday!
To: All Staff and PhD Students <all-psyc-group(a)york.ac.uk>
Hi all,
We are very excited to be hosting an external speaker next Wednesday (29th)
at 4pm in YNiC open plan. Chris Neale from the University of Huddersfield
will be presenting a talk entitled: *Your brain on grass: Environmental
Psychology and the brain*
"Given the increasing levels of urbanisation coupled with our aging
population, there is a need to understand how our urban spaces impact
public health and wellbeing. Environmental psychology has provided numerous
theories and research aiming to understand ways we can optimise our urban
spaces. This has, more recently, extended into neuroscience; specifically
addressing how urban forms impact brain activity in lab, virtual and
real-world settings. This talk will explore some of these findings,
including my own research, and look forward to what the future might hold!"
If you are unable to attend the talk in person, you can catch it on zoom
using the following link:

Do you or your PhD student require emergency first aid at work training
in order to scan at YNiC?
The University is running an emergency first aid at work course on
Friday 01st December at Grimston House, starting at 09.30. This is a
full day but should be finished by 4pm. If you have a PhD student or
yourself requiring training, please let me know. It is free for staff
but £60 pp for students. I will need your M code if it is for a student.

Hi everyone,
This is a reminder that this week (Friday lunchtime, 12.15, YNiC) we have
our second "Cogs" meeting at YNiC when Alex Carter will be leading a
session on "How do we see colour with two eyes?
<https://uniofyork.padlet.org/tomhartley/cogs-7svj1mgvsc2jq2yp/wish/27753207…>
"
Cogs meetings are a new format that is 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.
Coming up later this semester we also have Beth Jefferies who will lead a
session on Spiral Waves in the Brain
<https://uniofyork.padlet.org/tomhartley/cogs-7svj1mgvsc2jq2yp/wish/27644691…>.
Now the eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that the regular timing
conflicts with the psychology department's Christmas Carols/Lunch Social,
so something will probably have to move. Watch this space for further
announcements about the date/timing of the session.
