Dear Users
The scheduled seminar for this week (10th June) has been postponed to
avoid clashing with the undergraduate Leaving Day events. Koen's talk
will be rescheduled for a future date.
Please note there will NOT be a seminar at YNiC this Thurdsay.
Best wishes

Dear Users
Today Shane Lindsay will give a project proposal talk at 4 pm in YNiC
open plan on "Encoding effects for novel and existing words".
This is a proposal for an fMRI experiment which will look at the initial
encoding of novel and existing words to see how brain activity,
particularly in the medial temporal lobes, will predict subsequent
recognition and recollection outside the scanner
Everyone is welcome to attend.
Best wishes

=======================
I will shortly be advertising for a 3-year Postdoctoral Position at
the newly opened Centre for Integrative Neuroscience & Neurodynamics,
University of Reading. The project will entail using TMS and/or FMRI
to test models of cortical-subcortical connectivity in
cognition-emotion interaction. We will be looking for candidates with
a strong analytic and technical skills as well as a PhD in a relevant
discipline. Proficiency with the English language is also required.
If you are interested in the position, I will be at the Human Brain
Mapping conference next week. If you will be there, please email me to
arrange a meeting, or if you are presenting a poster, let me know the
details so that I can drop by. If not at HBM, please feel free to drop
me an email.
The official announcement for the position will be in a few weeks,
with a starting date this summer or early autumn.

Please can I make something very clear. No equipment should be taken from meg or mri under any circumstances. To do so puts other peoples' projects at risk and could also affect calibration issues.
If people need to use equipment such as that housed in meg or mri, then they should discuss their needs directly with the user support manager, Andre Gouws, or myself.
But to repeat myself , I will not give permission for any equipment to be removed

Dear all,
I'd appreciate it if you could alert any suitable & interested students
to this opportunity:
*MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit – Cambridge*
*Student Vacation Placement: Electrophysiological and behavioural
studies of human hearing*
* *
The MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (CBSU) is an internationally
renowned research institute with state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience
facilities, including 3T-fMRI (Siemens), EEG, access to
neuropsychological patient panels, and an MEG facility (Elekta Neuromag).
* *
We are able to offer one student vacation placement to undertake a
project of research under the guidance of Dr Bob Carlyon. The
experiment will involve studies of human hearing, and will include both
behavioural experiments and studies of auditory brainstem and cortical
activity, using evoked potentials measured from scalp electrodes. The
successful candidate will be trained in the appropriate techniques and
will have the opportunity to contribute to the design and analysis of
the experiments.
This placement will be for an 8 week period between mid June until mid
September – the exact timing will be agreed in advance with the supervisor.
You will have, or be in the process of obtaining a degree in psychology
or a related discipline, and show a keen interest in obtaining research
experience. Previous experience in conducting behavioural experiments
would be useful, but full training will be given.
The stipend, which is funded by the Wellcome Trust, will be £200 per
week. On site car and bicycle parking is available.
Applications should be sent, preferably by email, to Joe Worth,
joseph.worth(a)mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk <mailto:joseph.worth@mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk>,
or alternatively by posting to 15 Chaucer Road, Cambridge, CB2 7EF.
Please include a cover letter and current CV when applying.
Closing date: 9^th June 2010
