Hello all,
Just to let people know there there are a couple of visits to YNiC this
week that might have an impact on you. Tomorrow (Tuesday) between 1:30
and about 2:30, and Wednesday morning, between 10 and 11 there will be
groups in open plan. Both groups are pretty small and won't be using the
computers so hopefully it won't be too disruptive. There will however be
presentations, so you may rather have a late lunch tomorrow and a
prolonged coffee on Wednesday.
Thanks, and apologies …
[View More]for any inconvenience,
Sam

Dear Users
At this time of year it can be hard to recruit participants. It is
therefore very tempting to recruit close friends and relatives.
One of the ethical issues that arises from taking this route for
recruitment is that it might be difficult for a friend or relative to
turn down your request. Unfortunately, if they accept then it then
places you and us in a rather difficult position if an anomaly is
spotted on the scan. This is extremely difficult to deal with if the
investigator …
[View More]is in the control room when the anomaly is detected.
We already have a policy that prevents staff from scanning relatives. We
now will extend this to the scanning of all close relatives. I hope that
you can understand the reasons behind this decision.
The radiographers have been asked to, politely, refuse to scan relatives
of investigators.
Thanks
Gary

Dear All,
The booking system is now back to normal service. You will see however
that all research time is booked until the end of July. If you have an
urgent need for scan time before then, please get in touch and we will
attempt to get scans performed for you.
Best wishes
Tony
Hi All,
To clarify: All currently booked slots will be honoured. It is just the
ability to book NEW slots that is being temporarily suspended.

Dear All,
I have temporarily suspended the ability to book scan slots until the
end of July. I hope to allow normal booking procedures to be reset by
the end of the day (Friday 9th July). Unfortunately, I have had to take
this action because some projects that have strict deadlines for
completion have struggled obtain sufficient scan hours under the current
system of booking. I will be consulting with the project teams to
resolve this today. Rest assured that all the research time …
[View More]between now
and the end of July will not be booked as a result of this consultation
process.
I will update this list, when normal service resumes.
Best wishes

Dear Users
Today (4 pm in YNiC) there will be a talk by Lee Harrison from YNiC.
The title of Lee's talk is "Bayesian Inference in Neuroimaging".
Abstract:
"Analyzing data involves quantifying the uncertainties inherent in their
production, e.g. measurement noise. A way to achieve this is to formulate
models in terms of probabilities, in other words, Bayesian models. A
Bayesian approach provides a language to formally represent such
uncertainty and the tools necessary to manipulate these …
[View More]notions in a
coherent manner. The aim of this talk is to give an overview of some of
the ideas and rhetoric used in constructing Bayesian models, estimating
them and applying them to neuroimaging problems. The talk is based on an
introduction to Bayesian inference given at the Statistical Parametric
Mapping (SPM) short course. The emphasis will be on applications and not
the equations. For example, using Dynamic Causal Models (DCM) to ask
questions about interactions between cortical regions and spatial models
to implement a computational model of how an observer represents
uncertainty in a sequence of events."
Everyone is welcome to attend.
Best wishes
Rebecca

Dear all,
on Wednesday July 7th, there will be the University Open Day. Between
10:00 to 15:00, YNiC will be particularly busy with tours of the centre.
Open plan will still be available during this period, but may be a bit
noisier than usual. It might not be the day for a lab meeting in Open
Plan ...
Thanks,
Michael
