MEG and MRI
by Gary Green 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

You will probably be pleased to hear that MEG is now fully operational again. We have also taken time to get the system recalibrated, eye trackers installed and a complete overhaul of the mechanics of the bed. The noise level is lower as the source of the small electrical pulse artefacts has been identified and removed. All MEG channels are working. The original problem was due to a faulty interface between the fibre optics taking data out of the shielded room into the data acquisition rack. The board has been replaced. Bookings can now be taken for MEG. You may also be pleased to hear that MRI has had a routine maintenance and all is well. happy scanning! -- 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

Draft programme for Thursdays at YNiC
by Gary Green 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Attached is the 'draft' programme for YNiC Thursday evening seminars for the autumn and early winter. The current plan is that after Christmas the seminars would mainly consist of invited speakers, internal speakers and journal club. The third term would be devoted to people giving talks about work that has been or is about to be published from YNiC projects. ALL comments are welcome. Your ideas are absolutely essential to running a Centre that will make imaging research possible and fun for all. Please send your comments to me, Sam Johnson (science.manager(a)ynic.york.ac.uk) or Tony Morland (a.morland(a)psych.york.ac.uk) 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

Update on MEG
by Gary Green 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

I am sorry to say that MEG is still unavailable. 4D are working on the problem and believe that they have determined the cause. We expect an engineer to visit this week and ti make adjustments to the main power supplies to the system. As soon as MEG is available I will let you know. MRI is working fine 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

MEG unavailable
by Gary Green 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

I am sorry to have to report that MEG is currently unavailable. An electronics board that is the interface between the scanner and the main computer rack has failed. 4D have been informed and are trying to get a board to us as fast as possible. Unfortunately this may take more than a week as the new board will need substantial testing before it can be installed. I will keep you informed as to when MEG will be available again. I know this will cause some inconvenience and I apologise for the problems that this will undoubtedly bring to some projects. -- 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

Thursday Seminars
by Sam Johnson 09 Aug '07

09 Aug '07

Hello all, Due to the inevitable summer lull, and the long awaited arrival of some sunny weather, the Thursday evening sessions are being put on hold till the beginning of September. So those of you who are around can make the most of the balmy summer's evenings and we'll recommence in a month or so by which time normal weather service will no doubt be resumed, the winter evenings will be drawing in and a YNiC seminar will be a welcome respite from the rain and snow. Thanks, Sam
