Dear all, 1) The Deputy VC & Provost, Professor Saul Tendler, will be visiting YNiC between 09:30 and 10:30 on Thursday the 20th of April. Please feel free to join us here at the center and showcase your research. 2) The Siemens scanner is now use and a couple of projects are being used to finalize our data acquisition and processing streams, as well as develop our training program. As such we are on schedule to meet our target date to start using the scanner routinely. 3) Reminder: the open-plan area at YNiC will be open for use next week (w/c 10 April) but that no user support will be available as the team will be working on consolidating a number of outstanding issues and internal development projects. 4) Housekeeping: Although we want you to feel "at home" when you're here at YNiC, please be professional. Specific examples this week include (1) always wear shoes when you're in the center (don't walk around in bare feet or socks) and (2) do not use the clinical patient preparations areas (especially the one on the MRI corridor) as communal kitchens. -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Hello All, I've received a few questions about our closure on the week commencing 10th April. The centre will be accessible and you can use open plan computers and will be able to operate the scanners. However, YNiC will not be fully staffed and for this reason we will not be able to offer help with scanning or stimulus generation and analysis during this week. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Seminars and update
by Antony Morland 08 Mar '17

08 Mar '17

Hello All, Apologies, this should have been sent earlier this week. This week's seminar will be: '*The Siemens Scanner – what can it do (for you)?* by Alex Wade and Tony Morland. It will be at 4pm at YNiC - refreshments will follow. Also, this week (today, Wednesday) many of the YNiC staff and other investigators, who are trained or are in training to operate the scanners, will be attending a first aid course. YNiC will therefore have a skeleton staff on Wednesday. The MRI scanners are running well, but we are still having an uphill struggle with MEG. Happy scanning. Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Entering and exiting YNiC
by Andre Gouws 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

*Entering and exiting YNiC* This year has seen increased activity in the center associated with MSc and MPsych teaching and practicals. These sessions often coincide with periods during which we are scanning clinical patients at the center. It is important therefore that anyone arriving at, using or leaving the center does so in a professional and courteous manner. In order to minimize disruption in the patient waiting area (the "main YNiC reception"), we ask that all students arriving at the center for teaching / practical sessions to use the main BioCentre reception entrance. Thanks, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356
