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.

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

Hello All, As some of you may already know, we have had some issues with the GE scanner. GE attended Friday and today. They have made some progress. We are running tests this afternoon to check that data collection can resume from tomorrow. We are resuming testing the MEG scanner in collaboration with York Instruments. More news on this should emerge through June. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

by Antony Morland 05 May '17

Dear All, We are having some work done in the MRI suite 12th May, which means the centre will be closed for scanning. Open Plan will be Open, however. YNiC staff will be attending a training event, so there will be no reception or staff cover 12th May. Sorry for the short notice - the contractor only gave us this lead period for the work.
