YNiC seminar today - Conferences in neuroimaging and neuroscience
by Andre Gouws 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Hi all, Please join us at 4pm this afternoon at YNiC for a very informal seminar / forum discussion where we will be reflecting on the features and benefits (and maybe cons) of attending any one of the many conferences that we as a community might attend. The conversation will cover areas like venues, size, what's included in registration, the science, poster experiences, talk structure and typical audiences. Hope to see you all here. Best wishes, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Understanding operator covered slots
by Andre Gouws 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi all, Users have recently raised a couple of queries about YNIC operator covered slots - and there appears to be some confusion. Please can I clarify the following: 1) Operator covered slots are limited and pre-allocated on each scanner - currently we allocated 12 hours per week on the GE and 18.5 hours on the Siemens. These numbers are subject to periodic review. 2) We will endeavour to populate the database with operator covered slots for 6 weeks into the future to help to provide extra flexibility for fully funded projects (this has not always been possible but should be implemented moving forward) 3) Training does NOT use up pre-allocated YNiC operator covered slots: although it may appear in the database that operator covered slots are used for training, these slots represent times when a YNiC operator is required to attend to perform training, but these slots are in addition to the pre-allocated operator covered slots for research scanning. Please drop me a line if you have any further queries. Thanks, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

by Andre Gouws 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Today Leah Kelly will present a proposal for her new project "The neural correlate of cognition and visual loss". The talk will be at 4pm and will be followed by refreshments. Hope to see you all there. ... p.s. Not to detract from what I'm sure will be an excellent and interesting presentation by Leah, but just s quick reminder: ** REMINDER - Kalanit Grill-Spector will be giving a seminar at 4pm on Thursday 22 February in B020. Kalanit has made a number of seminal contributions in visual neuroscience over the past 20 years, particularly in the way faces and objects are represented in the brain. I hope you will be able to attend her seminar. ** -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD 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 Antony Morland 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi All, We have a project presentation this week at 4pm, Thursday 1st February. Holly Brown will be talking about 'Exploring connectivity in individuals with visual loss'. Unfortunately, our GE scanner is down at present. A large component in the system has failed and based on previous experience the problem can take a week to fix. We are liaising with the GE engineers and will be in touch with further updates. Tip of the week: When booking the scanners, please enter the participant ID. If you do the appropriate forms will be printed out for your booking, which saves you and the staff at YNiC time. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Hello All, This week's seminar will be allocated to a project presentation: *'The relationship between emotion regulation and mind-wandering'* - Haakon Engen & Jonny Smallwood It will start at 4pm on Thursday, 18th January. Could I remind investigators to have their participants registered 24 hours before any scan appointment. Otherwise, we can't guarantee that we will be able to register the participant in time for their scan appointment. Finally, we are hosting a school visit on the afternoon of 17th between 1230 and 330pm. As part of the visit there will be talks in open plan. We will therefore be closing open plan for a few hours to allow things to run smoothly. Apologies and thanks for your co-operation. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.
