Hi everyone Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed a nice break over the holidays. IT updates were completed at YNiC over the closure period; if you experience any technical issues on return to the centre please drop us a ticket to it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk. We're kicking off the New Year with some training this week: *YNiC User Inductions* If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our next induction will be *Wednesday 8th January at 10am*. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. *Level 0 operator training:* There are two more places available on our next scheduled Level 0 training session for the Siemens scanner tomorrow, *Tuesday 7th January at 1pm*. The following L0 training session (for either Siemens or GE) will be held on *Wednesday 5th February at 10am*. Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal submitted to YNiC. Please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any questions or wish to book on to either of these sessions, and include which scanner you wish to be trained on. *Please note that sessions are limited to 4 trainees, which will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Training on the 5th Feb must be booked at least a week before the session date, in order to reserve the scanner booking.* *First Aid Training Requirement for Operators* *ALL* operators must attend an 'Emergency First Aid at Work' one-day training course. We will enforce this requirement from March 2020, to give current Level 0 users time to arrange the training course. Courses should be organised by the project PI with a relevant training provider (e.g. St Johns Ambulance, Red Cross); these providers can also run group training sessions (8 or more people) on-site, so labs may wish to coordinate their operators to all attend training on the same day, at a location of your choice. Hope you have a good week!

Hi everyone We have a few reminders for you this week: *YNiC Christmas Closure* YNiC will be closed to users for service maintenance *from the week commencing 16th December*, and will re-open in the New Year, on the 3rd of January. During this period you should consider all YNiC services unavailable. However, please note that we do not anticipate the remote desktop to be unavailable for the entire period, and we will keep users updated once these services resume. *YNiC User Inductions* If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our final induction date before the Christmas break will be Wednesday 11th December at 2pm. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. *First Aid Training Requirement for Operators* It is recommended that all Level 0 operators attend an 'Emergency First Aid at Work' one-day training course. This is currently a requirement for Level 1 operators, and will also be required for Level 0 operators soon - we will enforce this requirement from March 2020, to give current Level 0 users time to arrange the training course. Courses should be organised by the project PI with a relevant training provider (e.g. St Johns Ambulance, Red Cross); these providers can also run group training sessions (8 or more people) on-site, so labs may wish to coordinate their operators to all attend training on the same day, at a location of your choice.

Impromptu seminar Thu 28th @ 4pm: Motion resolved MRI and computational modeling in visual illusions.

by Andre Gouws

Hi YNiCers, Benedetta Franceschiello, a visitor from the Laboratory for Investigative Neurophysiology - Lausanne, has kindly offered to give us a presentation on some of her interesting work which includes resolving motion signals in MRI (particularly of the eye) and computational modeling of visual illusions. Please join us for a casual, interactive session at 4pm on Thursday the 28th in YNiC, followed by refreshments and maybe even a visit to the pub. Bene's profile is here: https://www.unil.ch/line/en/home/menuinst/people/post-doctoral-fellows/bene… Best wishes, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD Manager of Imaging Services York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

This Week at YNiC

by Lauren Welbourne

Good afternoon everyone, *IMPORTANT: Cluster Output Paths* As we indicated last week, from today it will not be possible to write to /groups from the cluster, only /scratch/groups. This step has been taken to prevent the /groups partition filling up with data which does not belong in there. If /groups fills up, all users are affected. To illustrate the point, during last week (when writing to /groups remained possible) one cluster job generated ~300Gb of data in /groups which belonged in /scratch/groups. The partition was therefore completely filled up. The consequence was that another user was unable to run their stimulus code, which depends on there being space in /groups to log output, and their scanning was delayed significantly. More generally, it is important to recognise that storage resources are limited, and that when the full capacity of partitions is reached many more people than those who wrote the data may be affected. It would be appreciated if users who anticipate writing large amounts of data, could first estimate how much data will be written and then ask us how best to accommodate the data. In general, we would also like to remind users of the importance of storing the correct data in the correct areas; this will avoid us having to take urgent remedial actions in cases where other users have been affected. *YNiC User Inductions* If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our final induction date before the Christmas break will be Wednesday 11th December at 2pm. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. Hope you have a great week!
