MRI masterclass - split session - Thursday 31st January
by andre＠ynic.york.ac.uk 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Thank you to those of you who replied to my previous emails requesting that you contact us if you intend to attend any/all of the current masterclasses. We have had a low response in terms of attendance for this week's MRI session (so far only 5 interested parties). Those 5 five will be glad to know that we fully intend to continue with the session - the tutorials will be even more interactive than usual if the numbers are smaller! However, it would be naive of me to ignore the feedback from some that suggests that committing 2 1/2 hours on a Thursday afternoon is difficult for some of you. As such a minor revision to Thursday's program is proposed: The session will be split into 2 halves - Session 1: 2.30 - 4.00 - an introduction to the FSL software environment; - a full single subject AND across subject (group) fMRI analysis tutorial with worked examples; - examples of manipulating data - co-registration, averaging, extracting time-series (with user supplied examples), extracting brains Session 2: 4.00 - 5.00 - an introduction to the more weird and wonderful tools in fsl - exploring fMRI data without a model .. ICA - comparing spatial differences between groups - TBSS and VBM - exploring connectivity with DTI data - again, session will involve worked examples and user interaction with scripts Hopefully splitting the session will help those of you limited by time to attend at least part of the afternoon, and allow those of you who are only interested in basic fMRI processing / newer features to attend the times most suitable for you. Please do let us know if you intend to attend .. it makes our lives easier! Thanks. ************************************************************************ Andre Gouws User Support Manager York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5DG Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435328 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

MEG
by Gary Green 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

You will all be pleased to hear that we now have a certificate that states that the oxygen level in MEG is 20.9% The oxygen monitor has also been shown to detect and alarm when the level is low (18%). What this really means is that the oxygen monitor has been calibrated. It is now safe to scan again in MEG Thanks to 4D Neuroimaging, Joanna and Maribel who help sort this out so quickly Gary -- Gary Green Director 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

Virtual electrodes as a YNiC Analysis Support Colloquium?
by Andy Ellis 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Piers and I would be willing to attempt to lead one or two sessions on virtual electrode analysis in MEG. Points for discussion could include: 1. Where you can stick your virtual electrodes. How to position your VEs to best effect. 2. What kinds of information you can get out of VEs - analyses in the frequency and amplitude domains. 3. What kinds of statistical analyses would it be good to be able to do? These might best be done after the MEG masterclass on 7 Feb. Any interest?

YNiC Analysis Support Colloquia
by Michael Simpson 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Dear Users, YNiC would like to invite you to the YNiC Analysis Support Colloquia. These sessions will take place on Wednesday evenings from 4pm to 5pm in Room B020, Psychology. This new session is designed to get Users to present and discuss contemporary analysis problems. They are open to all Users, and will be attended by as many YNiC staff as are available. The format will be: * A User will send a message to ynic-users(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to say that they would like to have a YNiC ASC on a set date, and on a set subject. * Once a User has nominated a particular date, they are effectively the chair for that session. Before the session, the chair will be expected to forward an agenda to the User list to let YNiC staff, and Users, know what the topic of the session will be, and who will present what. * The chair will be expected to make a short presentation on an analysis problem at their YNiC ASC, and then lead the subsequent discussion. * If another User would like to present at a colloquia that is already being chaired, it will be up to the User to contact the chair in advance to see if their data / problem is appropriate for the session. Therefore, in some colloqiua there may be more than one example of the problem presented. * The chair for the session may be asked to add to the YNiC documentation after their session if new insights into analyses have been gleaned. Those of you who have had a brainstorm will recognise aspects of the format. The new YNiC ASC will hopefully open these brainstorms up so that all Users can benefit from them. Hence, analysis insights that emerge form these colloquia will be open to the whole User community. These colloquia will also replace interpretation support that may previously have been available via your SLO. This has been decided to ensure that all projects have the potential for the same support, and also that all projects will essentially benefit from input from all YNiC staff and Users, rather than just one individual. We hope that it will be a self-supporting enterprise for the whole User community. (N.B. Note that technical support related to your analysis will still be available from your SLO.) So, all that is left to do is email ynic-users(a)ynic.york.ac.uk and volunteer for a YNiC ASC, making sure to state the date and subject. Best Wishes, Michael P.S. We appreciate that there may be occasions when there is a clash with Board of Studies meetings however, as there is only 2 per term, this will only be problem 6 times a year. On these occasions Users can suggest to the chair of the YNiC ASC that they might move their date to another day. Alternatively, there may be very specific or technical problems that might be appropriate for a YNiC ASC that clashes with a Board of Studies meeting. -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

Might be of interest

Quite an interesting paper has just appeared in Perspectives on Psychological Science 2,(4), Dec 2007 - A trio of concerns by Jerome Kagan. Includes some interesting observations on the differences between MEG and MRI. Enjoy.
