17 Apr '19

Hi there, There is a *slot available from 15:45 until 17:00 tomorrow in the Siemens* in case you anyone is interested. The slot is currently booked for my project (P1370). However, the participant scheduled is not willing to come tomorrow for his second day of scanning and -because of the experimental design- we cannot recruit anyone new at this point. If you interested in booking the slot please email @Joe Lyons <joe.lyons(a)york.ac.uk> and he will be able to update the booking. Cheers, Sara Sara Stampacchia Department of Psychology University of York, UK

This week at YNiC
by Lauren Welbourne 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hi everyone There are a couple of things you should be aware of over the coming weeks: 1. The GE scanner is now fully operational, so scanning slots can be booked. Thanks again for your patience during the unexpected downtime. 2. A large proportion of YNiC staff will be away for the MEG UK conference from Monday 15th to Wednesday 17th April, and therefore support will be limited during this period. *Specifically, if you need Level 3 signatures for any scanning on these days they must be obtained no later than 12th April (n.b. signatures should always be arranged before the scan day). * 3. *YNiC will be closed for the Bank Holidays on 19th and 22nd April * 4. We have provisionally scheduled our next User Induction for Thursday 18th April at 10am, subject to availability and interest. Please ask any relevant students/staff to email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up if they intend to start using the centre. Hope you have a great week! Cheers, 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

Hello everyone, Things to note this week: 1. The *GE* scanner requires a replacement cold head and so will be *unavailable until Wednesday the 3rd of April at the earliest. * 2. YNiC was closed for maintenance last week, this included IT upgrades with security patching and fibre work, adjustments to the security alarm system, and a layout change. The central meeting room off open plan is now an extension to the staff office. * Consent debriefing and other private interviews should be carried out in the small sound-proof room opposite the PhD office in open plan, or the interview room on the MRI corridor. * 3. YSPL will be doing maintenance on IT systems this week, however, this is not expected to affect uses. 4. A large cohort of YNiC staff will be away for the MEG UK conference 15-17th of April. *Signatures for conditional exceptions on consent forms for 15th-17th of April must be organized for no later than the 12th of April. We would also like to remind users that exceptions in consent forms should be arranged in advance of the scan day in all cases. * 5. We have provisionally scheduled our next *User Induction on Thursday the 18th of April at 10am*. Subject to availability and interest. Please ask any relevant students/staff to email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up if they intend to start using the centre.
