Hi
Together with Andre and Nikos, we have collected some potentially very
interesting results via an fMRI study on task switching.
The issue is this. When we do group analyses with cluster correction,
3 very large blobs are found in contrasting cond 1 with cond 2.
However, in playing with fslview it is clear that within these blobs
there are more interesting localised islands of activity.
My dilemma is this if we simply report the cluster-corrected blobs
that is okay but what
I really want to discuss are these other ROIs.
So how do I get this published and satisfy the statisitcal reviewer?
I cannot do a simple a priori ROI analysis because some of the
conditions are relatively novel and we cant predict where the ROIs
might be.
We can do this via email or I can talk about this at YNiC next week
perhaps?
Philip.

-------------------
A postdoctoral position is available for up to 3 years for a cognitive
neuroscientist interested in the functional and neural basis of
attention, control, and learning. The successful candidate will work on
a BBSRC-funded project investigating the role of action outcomes in
cognitive control, using fMRI, EEG, and behavioural methods.
The research will be conducted in Oxford as part of a new collaboration
between Dr Nick Yeung, in the Dept of Experimental Psychology at Oxford,
and Dr Florian Waszak, in the Laboratoire Psychologie de la Perception
at the Universite Paris Descartes. We offer an international research
environment and the opportunity for the successful applicant to develop
skills in a broad range of complementary methods in cognitive neuroscience.

Dear all,
just to let you know that there will be a school visit in YNiC from
10.00 until 11.15 tomorrow, July 20th. No workstations will be used,
however the presentation area will be being used. Therefore, Open Plan
will be busier than usual, and there will no doubt be a greater level of
background noise ...

I would like to thank everyone in Psychology, the YNiC-Users and the
YNiC Staff for all their contributions to celebrating the award of an
honorary doctorate to Karl Friston.
He asked me to pass on his additional appreciation to those of you who
contributed to the absolutely fabulous workshop in the Venables Room
yesterday. He was full of praise for the studies being undertaken and
for the excellent talks. He kept referring to the work for the rest of
the day and clearly took away some very strong impressions of the
research being carried out in Psychology.
I would also like to personally thank Claire Fox for her calm,
professional and wonderful organisation of all the events that were
associated with Karl Friston's visit.
Thank you all - we should do it again!
Gary

Dear All,
Thanks to those who attended the reception at YNiC for Colin yesterday.
There was a really nice buzz about the place. Thanks particularly to those
who showed Colin around and demonstrated the different techniques we have at
YNiC. It gave an excellent (and correct) impression of the great research
that is taking place. Finally, thanks to Pete, Gary and Quentin for their
anecdotes and tributes to Colin and to Claire for organizing the event so
brilliantly.
Best wishes,
Tim

Subject: Colin Blakemore - champagne reception at YNiC
Dear All,
Professor Colin Blakemore FRS will be receiving an honorary degree from the
University tomorrow (Thursday). Some of us have been directly influenced by
Colin's research, but many of you will be more aware of Colin's contribution
to the public understanding of science
http://www.neuroscience.ox.ac.uk/directory/colin-blakemore. To recognize
Colin's achievements, the Department will be holding a champagne reception
at YNiC around 3.20-3.30 tomorrow in the open plan area. There are a few of
us who know Colin well and we will say a few words about him. Quentin will
then say a few words about Colin's contribution to the MRC and his role more
generally in communicating the importance of science to the public.
You are all welcome to come to this event. It is only for a short time, so
please try and come if you can. It would also be great to see some younger
faces. If you are intending on coming, can you please email Claire Fox at
YNiC.
Best wishes,
Tim
