This week in YNiC
by Gary Green 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

Dear colleagues In addition to the celebration of TMS coming to York (Thursday at 4pm) we also have a visitor on Wednesday who has expressed his interest in meeting users and discussing the science at YNiC. Lord Sainsbury who officially opened the Centre in 2005, will be visiting from 1:45pm to 2:45. He specifically asked to be shown around YNiC to hear about progress since his last visit. Lord Sainsbury studied Psychology at Cambridge and is known to retain a personal interest in the development of our understanding of cognition. He will be visiting MEG where we will be demonstrating its use in studying verbal & non-verbal memory, MRI where he will be shown recent work on use of fMRI in vision sciences and then he will be taken into the open plan to meet users. If you are free and would like to meet our visitor then please do come along to YNiC on Wednesday from 1:30pm onwards. Lord Sainsbury will be accompanied by the VC and the pro-VC for research thanks Gary -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. 01904 435349 fax 01904 435356 mobile 07986 778954

Dear Users This week's YNiC session (4-5pm) will consist of a discussion led by Prof. Sue Gathercole on strategies for successful grant applications, followed by a YNiC project proposal by George Tsoulas. 1) 16.00-16.45 Professor Sue Gathercole, who is a member of the Medical Research Council's Neurosciences and Mental Health Board, will lead a discussion of how to optimize the chances of success with grant applications. Other researchers with experience of applying successfully for grants, working for grant awarding bodies etc. will then be invited to contribute their own thoughts. Winning grant income is not easy in the current climate, but this event is designed to pool advice and guidance on what you can do to maximize your chances. 2) 16.45-17.00 George Tsoulas & Silvia Gennari "The computation of ellipsis: Evidence from brain imaging" -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

More Open Plan Busyness and Seminar Reminder
by Sam Johnson 06 Nov '08

06 Nov '08

Hello all, Just a reminder that the open plan will be full again this afternoon for the MSc practical, from 13:15 to 15:15. We will be very busy and there are unlikely to be machines available, so no matter how eager you are to arrive early for the seminar at 16:00 you'd be advised to wait till after 15:15. This week we have an external speaker, Stephan Moratti. The title of Stephan's talk is "Steady state visual evoked potentials/ fields: Advantages of High Signal to Noise Ratio in Basic and Clinical Psychophysiological Research" and, as ever, everyone is welcome. Thanks, Sam

MEG Planned Maintenance
by Maribel Pulgarin 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Dear Users, The MEG system will be undergoing planned, preventative maintenance from Friday, Nov.7th until Friday, Nov. 14th. There will be no MEG scanning during this maintenance window. The work will include a recalibration of the system, an overhaul of the mechanics of the bed and the replacement of half of the SAD cards. We replaced the first half in June, and this is the second and final stage in the replacement. We thank you for your patience in this matter and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Best Regards, Maribel Pulgarin-Montoya -- ________________________________ Maribel Pulgarin-Montoya MEG Manager York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Fax: 01904 435356 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk
