09 Jul '19

Unfortunately, we're experiencing more issues with our storage system and so we've closed the centre for the day so we can restore service and check the file systems. All remote desktop systems will be unavailable for the rest of the day. Thanks Joe -- Joe Lyons, UNIX Systems Administrator York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC), University of York

Hello Due to some hardware issues over night, we're going to be rebooting the file server that provides /home and /scratch/home to all the YNiC desktops (including remote desktops) at *12:00 midday today*. Please log out of your desktop session before 12 to prevent any work from being lost. Thanks Joe -- Joe Lyons, UNIX Systems Administrator York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC), University of York

Hello All, Please be aware that participants, who are pregnant should not be scanned. I know this is standard practice, but I thought it would be a timely reminder because of the following. We are in the process of having a risk assessment about pregnancy and MRI operators. While this risk assessment is being performed MRI operators who are pregnant should no longer enter the scanner room. I will update you on any changes resulting from the risk assessment. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Hi everyone This week Ryan Elson will be giving two project presentations in YNiC open plan at *4pm on Thursday 11th*, followed by refreshments. The titles of these talks are: - "Investigating motor feedback in the STS and SC during expression recognition." - "Investigating 'within' and 'between' expression processing in the STS using combined TMS and psychophysics." Please also be aware that due to staff annual leave over the summer, there will be a limited number of operator covered slots across the two scanners. We hope to see you at the talks on Thursday. Kind regards Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY

Hi everyone This Tuesday 2nd July at 1pm we will have a site visit by the Chair of the Wellcome Trust, Eliza Manningham-Buller. If you are in open plan or scanning during this time, please behave professionally. Our next YNiC user induction is provisionally planned for *Wednesday 10th July *(time TBC). If you are aware of any students/staff that will require an IT account for YNiC, they must complete a User Induction first. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up for the next induction date. Hope you have a good week.

Hi everyone We have a few announcements for you this week: *Summer Closure* We would like to give you advanced notice of our summer closure period, which will take place between the 2nd and 20th September. During this period we will perform essential IT upgrades and maintenance. There will be no access to the centre (including remotely), and no support will be provided over this period. *Screening Participants* We know that we have had to turn away participants on the day that they attend for scanning. We also know that this is very frustrating for researchers. The situation can occur for all participant groups, but is more frequent in special or elderly populations. Our existing advice is to ensure that you speak with your participant *before* the day of their scan to go through the screening form, and obtained any Level 3 signatures required. We know that this is done routinely, but we have a couple of further suggestions: - First, be absolutely clear that the questions you will be asking are vital to ensure participant safety, and that each participant should answer fully and take time to consider their answers. - Second, make the participant aware that having participated in a scan before does not mean that they will be clear for an upcoming scan; they need to consider each question carefully and identify anything that they may have previously had approved by an operator - Finally, and related to the previous point, knowing that a participant has been scanned before is not a guarantee that that same participant will be eligible for an upcoming scan, because of any potential change in their status or indeed changes in safety regulations governing who may be scanned. *YNiC User Inductions* We are running our next YNiC user induction this *Wednesday 26th June* at the updated time of *4pm*. If you are aware of any students/staff that will require an IT account for YNiC, they must complete a User Induction first. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up for the next induction date. Hope you have a good week.

IMPORTANT: Level 3 signatures w/c 3rd June
by Lauren Welbourne 31 May '19

31 May '19

Hi all Please be aware that next week (w/c 3rd June) we have very limited Level 3 availability for signing off safety forms. If you have any participants being scanned next week that will need a signature you must get these signed-off no later than Monday afternoon. You can get the participant safety form printed at reception, and you can also hand these back to reception once the forms are signed if you have nowhere safe to store them before the scan. Reception will attach the signed form to the general consent sheet, which you can collect as normal on the day of the scan. It should be noted that it is standard procedure to obtain signatures in advance of the scan day - we cannot guarantee that booked scans will go ahead if a signature is not obtained in advance. We appreciate your understanding in this process, and in the importance of participant safety over research. Please let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY
