Dear All, We are upgrading the reception area this month. The current date penciled in is the week commencing 17th July. Open plan will be accessible from the Biocentre entrance. Further announcements about potential interruption of scanning may be forthcoming, but at the moment research scanning can continue. We have a project presentation by Becca Kitching this week. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

mrVista - Population Receptive Field Mapping Workshop
by Marc Himmelberg 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hi All, I'd like to gather expressions of interest for those those who would be interested in attending a 'MrVista - Population Receptive Field Mapping' workshop at YNiC. For those of you not familiar with mrVista, it is a MATLAB interface for analysing functional and anatomical MRI data, based on the Vistasoft toolbox developed by Stanford University, whilst population receptive field (pRF) mapping is a form of retinotopic mapping, where we compute a model of pRFs and visual field maps within the visual cortex (Dumoulin, S. O., & Wandell, B. A. (2008). Population receptive field estimates in human visual cortex. *NeuroImage*, *39*(2), 647–660. https://www.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3073038/). The aim of the workshop is to familiarise yourself with fMRI analysis using mrVista and learn how to conduct visual field mapping using the pRF method - including data collection/running stimuli, structural processing and segmentation, pre-processing, running the model, localising visual field maps, and plotting data. The workshop will run over 3 days at YNiC open plan and each session will cover both theory and practical. All required data and software will be supplied. Dates scheduled are: *Monday 31st July* 9:30am - 5pm *Tuesday 1st August* 9:30am - 5pm *Monday 7th August* 9:30am - 5pm Please let me know if you are interested in attending or have any questions. Thanks. Best, Marc -- Marc Himmelberg PhD Student | ESR within NextGenVis ITN PS/C018, Department of Psychology University of York York, YO10 5DD UK

Large scale data sets
by Jonny Smallwood 04 Jun '17

04 Jun '17

Hello YNIC users, We are trying to gauge interest in the use of large scale data sets by users of the imaging centre. There are a growing number of open access data sets that contain data from large samples of participants with phenotypical data and a range of brain imaging measures (often resting state as well as task data). I have added links to two of these data sets that I have had experience using and publishing data from. It would be very helpful if users who thought that this kind of data would be beneficial to their ongoing work could get in contact with me. This would allow the centre to get a sense of how many people would be interested in using these types of data. Thanks, Jonny http://www.humanconnectomeproject.org/ http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/indi/enhanced/ -- Jonathan Smallwood, Reader in Psychology / Cognitive Neuroscience Room C023, Department of Psychology, University of York, England.

Sorry, All, the GE scanner is still poorly. Progress on its diagnosis is being made, however, and we hope GE will get it fixed tomorrow. Best wishes Tony

Important: Immediate change to booking slot release
by Mark Hymers 19 May '17

19 May '17

Dear all, As many of you will be aware, for around a decade the YNiC booking system has released slots at midnight each day. How far ahead slots are released depends on the project and the nature of its funding source. We have just made an immediate change to the booking system such that slots will now be released at MIDDAY rather than midnight. This change takes effect immediately. We believe that this change should be reflected in the appearance of the web booking system as well as the internal YNiC booking tools used by staff. If anyone spots any issues with the booking system as a result of this change, please email me directly with details and I will investigate. Many thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers, Lecturer in Neuroimaging Methods York NeuroImaging Centre and Department of Psychology University of York, UK Please note that my email address is: mark.hymers(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Responses to messages sent to other addresses may be delayed

GE Update
by Mark Hymers 19 May '17

19 May '17

Hi all, Another update on the GE scanner. Although the GE scanner looks more like an MRI scanner again, it is still not functional. Diagnostic work carried out today means that we believe that the two parts likely to be responsible have been identified. One part arrived at YNiC this evening and the other is due to be delivered first thing on Monday morning. GE Engineers will be on site on Monday to fit the parts and, hopefully, resolve the issue. Scanning on Monday has been cancelled. Another update should be sent around Monday lunchtime. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers, Lecturer in Neuroimaging Methods York NeuroImaging Centre and Department of Psychology University of York, UK Please note that my email address is: mark.hymers(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Responses to messages sent to other addresses may be delayed

GE Scanner update
by Mark Hymers 18 May '17

18 May '17

Hi all, The attached picture shows the GE scanner just after 5pm. Unsurprisingly, this means that we will not be scanning tomorrow. We are awaiting a part (arriving later this evening) and engineers will be on-site this evening and tomorrow continuing to work on the problem. We are currently discussing the effect that this has had on MSc scanning and will write to students and supervisors once the scanner is available again to let them know what arrangements we are making to make sure we get all of the scanning done. More updates tomorrow. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers, Lecturer in Neuroimaging Methods York NeuroImaging Centre and Department of Psychology University of York, UK Please note that my email address is: mark.hymers(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Responses to messages sent to other addresses may be delayed

Scanner update
by Antony Morland 17 May '17

17 May '17

Apologies, All, another day, another update. The GE engineers replaced a number of parts today, but have still to fix the problem. They return tomorrow to do more work to remedy our problem. I hope to be able to relay more positive news soon. Best wishes Toby
