Some festive good news
by Aidan Horner 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

Dear YNiC researchers, I'm pleased to say we have just been awarded an internal equipment renewal grant to replace the majority of our PCs in YNiC (stimulus and open plan PCs), purchase a decent chunk of central storage, and a few other bits and bobs. This will be purchased and rolled out between now and July 2025. This should massively improve things at YNiC, so I'm really grateful to all who contributed to the application but biggest thanks to Joe Lyons. We'll obviously try to keep disruption to a minimum, but there is a lot of new devices to setup etc so please bear with us during this time. Have a good Winter Break/Christmas/New Year. We look forward to supporting all the awesome neuroscience you have planned in 2025! Best wishes, Aidan -- *I work 0.8FTE and my working days are Monday-Wednesday and Friday* =========================================================== Prof Aidan J Horner Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience Co-Director York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC) Department of Psychology University of York York YO10 5DD https://www.aidanhorner.org/ ===========================================================

Hello, Please see details below regarding upcoming inductions, training sessions, this week's Seminar, our YNiC Social event, and potential disruption in open plan. *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 on *Tuesday the 3rd of December, at 10:00am*.

Please note that sessions are limited to 4 trainees, which will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. *Seminar: Wednesday, 11am at YNiC* This week's Seminar will be given by *Chen Chen* with a talk titled *"**Mind-wandering during reading"*. Please join us at YNiC for the session, all staff and students are very welcome. Or you can join via zoom, using the following link: https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/98826612788?pwd=7Tf69NzjIWE1RWA2rt0wfzu1jzdy1v… <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/98826612788?pwd%3…> If you would like to lead a COGS session or give a Seminar talk, please get in touch (jennifer.ashton(a)york.ac.uk).

There may be some disruption to Open Plan, however we hope this will be minimal. MRI and MEG will be unaffected, so there will be no disruption to any planned scans. *YNiC Fob Access* We are still in the process of deactivating YNiC fobs associated with individuals who no longer use the centre. We will do our very best to ensure that fobs currently in use are not affected, however there is the chance your fob may get deactivated if it has not been named on the system correctly, or has been passed between individuals. If your fob no longer works, we can reactivate it straight away, please just ask at reception or a member of staff. *YNiC Drop-In - Wednesday afternoons* On Wednesday afternoons, there will be a YNiC research tech (or two) working out in open plan. If you are struggling with something, or would prefer to ask for help in person, this would be the perfect time to come and work over in YNiC, have a chat and get some help :) (This is in addition to our usual support ticketing system, and of course you can come and knock on the office door at any time!)

New ethics forms
by Fiona McNab 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

Hi All, Jennifer and I have updated the YNIC ethics forms <https://www.york.ac.uk/psychology/research/york-neuroimaging-centre/forms/>. The information sheet now includes some text about the video-watching study Beth is running with help from MEG users. If you're not using MEG, or not contributing to that, you can just remove that section from your information sheet. There's also a new study-specific consent form which allows participants to agree to be contacted about future studies (including the online tasks for Beth's video-watching study). So the most current versions are: Application form - version 10, Guidance document - version 9.2. Participant information sheet - version 11, Study specific consent form - version 10. Any questions, let us know. Best wishes, Fiona
