Hello All, The seminar this week (Thursday at 4pm) will be given by Andre Gouws: Why PsychoPy? This will be of particular value to those of you wanting to design and present stimuli for scanning. Demos and examples to try will be given. Refreshments will follow. For further details on seminars, please see https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/events/thursday-sessions (note loggin into the website may be required to access the information). Tip of the week: use the cluster to speed up your analysis. See the following URL for details. https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/IT/ClusterScripts Also, if you are having issues with things, please email: support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Hello all, Please let me know if there are any issues that you would like raised at this months meeting of the YNIC Science Committee meeting. Just in case you forgot this is a chance for users, or potential users, to raise issues that they would like to be considered by YNIC moving forward. Please contact me by Friday if you have anything you would like to be discussed. Best wishes Jonny -- Jonathan Smallwood, Reader in Psychology / Cognitive Neuroscience Room C023, Department of Psychology, University of York, England. YO10 4PH. Telephone: 01904 324651

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.

Updates from YNiC
by Antony Morland 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Hello All, Happy New Year from all of us at YNiC! The YNiC Seminar Series will resume next week, 4pm, 18th January, with a talk by Haakon Engen, from the MRC CBU, Cambridge. The title will follow, but Haakon has collaborated with Jonny Smallwood, who is hosting him, so I expect the talk may include some work on resting state fMRI. Over the Christmas break, we successfully upgraded the servers and cluster. The cluster's performance has been improved by some optimization. It is hoped that the work we've done will therefore improve functionality. If you do have any bugs that arise, please get in touch support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Talk today at 4pm
by Antony Morland 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

Hi All, Some more details about the talk today. Koen Haak *Title*: Connectopic mapping with resting state fMRI *Abstract*: How does the organisation of the human brain in terms of its connectivity subserve cognitive and perceptual processes? In this talk, I will give an overview of my work on mapping individualised connection topographies based on the spontaneous brain activity fluctuations that occur when a subject is at rest (resting-state fMRI). I will demonstrate that these connection topographies predict subject-by-subject differences in behaviour and I will discuss how this approach opens up the possibility of studying the neural underpinnings of human perception and cognition across thousands of individuals, from neonates to the elderly, in health and disease. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Talk this week and updates
by Antony Morland 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Hello All, We have a visitor, Koen Haak, who will be giving a talk about his modelling work. He has developed 'Connective Field' modelling for fMRI and applied it to the visual system and more generally. He'll start at 4pm Thursday and we will be heading out for a meal afterwards, if anyone would like to join us. Upcoming closures and changes to access to the centre: 1. December 13 -15th. We will be closed. There will be no access to the centre other than for staff. We will be performing IT server upgrades. This will also mean that all remote services will be unavailable. 2. Week Commencing 18th December. There will be no operator slots during this week. We will be managing the year end issues associated with the period of closure for the Christmas break. 3. Week Commencing 25th December. The centre will be closed. No access will be possible. Remote services will be available. 4. YNiC will open 2nd January and operator cover will commence 4th January. 5. Week Commencing 8th January normal service resumes Something to note: The university spam filters have been diverting many messages to YNIC-Users to spam folders. We have updated things at our end, so hope this will no longer occur. Tip to the week: Check your SPAM folder Antony Morland, PhD.

As the next phase of Wolfram Research's endeavor to make biology computable, we have recently released a collection of computable neuroscience-related data. > Our curated collection has information about the human brain's anatomy as well as its network connectivity, neuronal characteristics and mapped cognitive function. Along with programmatic access to these resources, the Wolfram Language provides the tools necessary to analyze and visualize such information.

Updates this week
by Antony Morland 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Dear All, A few things this week: 1. The GE scanner will be down for maintenance of the gradient cooling system on Wednesday and Thursday. 2. There will be a seminar this week explaining the projects we have planned for this academic cycle. This will include details of software and equipment upgrades and updates to services and training. 3. We will be closing for three days - 13/12-15/12 - for server upgrades. 4. There will be no operator cover for the week commencing 18/12. The scanners may be booked if you have an operator, however. Tip of the week: Sometimes you may need to change file permissions to gain access to them. Here is some useful information on how to do it. You will need to log on to the wiki to get to the link. https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/FilePermissions?highlight=%28permi… -- Antony Morland, PhD.
