16 Feb '13

An opportunity has arisen for a research fellow with MEG experience to work with a team of scientists and clinicians on a project titled “Abnormal Neuronal Networks as early Magnetoencephalographic Biomarker of Language Impairment in Benign Epilepsy with Centro-Temporal Spikes” The study will take place in the recently established Aston Brain Centre, which hosts the Wellcome Laboratory for MEG studies, as well as a fully equipped clinical research facility and will involve connectivity analysis of MEG data, and collection or use of measure of language skills in children. The Aston Brain Centre has a state of the art 306-channel Elekta Neuromag Triux system and a Siemens Trio 3Tesla MRI scanner, as well as a full range of equipment for neurophysiological investigations including TMS, Dense Array EEG and a clinical EEG facility dedicated to the assessment of patients with Epilepsy. The close collaboration with the Birmingham Children’s Hospital NHS FT - one of only four accredited paediatric epilepsy surgery centres in the UK – and Aston’s reputation for paediatric MEG in the pre-surgical epilepsy evaluation, will allow the successful applicant to gain expertise in the use of MEG in the functional mapping of eloquent cortex and epileptogenic cortex. Due to the relatively short duration of the project, experience in recording and analysis of MEG data is required. Supplementary training will be provided where necessary. An interest in working in clinical setting is essential. Start date asap and no later that 1.5.2013 For further information please contact Prof. Stefano Seri at s.seri(a)aston.ac.uk Prof. Stefano Seri MD, PhD, FRCP Professor of Clinical Neurophysiology and Developmental Neuropsychiatry School of Life and Health Sciences, Aston University Director MRI Research Centre Consultant in Clinical Neurophysiology, The Birmingham Children's Hospital NHS Trust Address for correspondence: Room SW613 Aston Unversity Aston Triangle Birmingham B4 7ET Tel. +44-(0)121-2044103 EMAIL: s.seri(a)aston.ac.uk

13 Feb '13

Dear all, there will be a visit from Sixth Form students between 11.00 and 12.00 this morning, and a visit from medics between 15.00 and 16.30 this afternoon. Both groups will be about 20-30 in number. Hence, Open Plan will be a little lively during these periods. As per usual, the Open Plan workstations will be available during these sessions, however if you are planning to work in Open Plan during this time, please can you chose a workstation towards the back wall of Open Plan rather than near the projection wall. Many thanks, Michael -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk
