MEG-UKI meeting 28-31st October, registration open
by Richard Aveyard 29 Aug '24

29 Aug '24

Hi All, This would be a great conference for anyone anticipating using our new OPM-MEG system, see details below. Cheers, Rich MEG-UKI provides a platform for researchers exploring hardware development, analysis methods, cognitive neuroscience and clinical translation to come together and discuss their research into Magnetoencephalography. The Centre for Human Brain Health at the University of Birmingham is hosting a series of meetings covering a broad range of topics in MEG research. We hope that hosting these in close proximity will provide opportunity for broad interdisciplinary conversations as well as saving on participant time, travel expenses and logistics. https://uobevents.eventsair.com/meguki/ -- Dr Richard Aveyard Senior Technical Specialist York NeuroImaging Centre University of York, UK

Important - participant confidentiality reminder
by Andre Gouws 31 May '24

31 May '24

NOBODY should discuss, either between themselves or with the participant scanned, anything they think they may or may not have seen on that participant's MRI scan. This applies while in the scan room while someone is being scanned, or after when looking at their data. Anyone who sees something on a scan can bring any concerns to any member of YNiC staff. This should be done DISCRETELY (i.e. behind a closed door) as soon as possible after their scan session - do not call someone to the scan room or stand in open plan and say "I saw something weird in this person's brain". Discussing potentially sensitive details about someone's MRI scan could constitute a breach of confidentiality and there could be very serious consequences - Just don't do it. Please rest assured that we have processes in place to have participants' scans reviewed by medical professionals if required. And we implement those processes as discretely as we can. Please help us do that. Sincerely, -- André ************************************************************************ *André Gouws PhD* *Lead Technical Specialist* *York Neuroimaging Centre and York Diagnostic Imaging* *Departmental Safety Advisor - Dept. of Psychology* *University of York* *The Biocentre* *York Science Park* *Heslington* *YO10 5NY*

YNiC changes reminder
by Aidan Horner 20 May '24

20 May '24

Dear all, We wanted to email everyone to remind people of one of the key changes we have made at YNiC recently, and the rationale for doing this. We used to always provide two YNiC staff as operators during any bookable "operator covered hours". Some labs provided at least one level 0 operator, which meant that sometimes YNiC only needed to provide one operator but the default was always two operators unless otherwise arranged. This resulted in YNiC staff time being inefficiently used, for example they would learn last minute that they weren't required for a specific scan. We have now moved to a system where the default assumption is that you provide a level 0 operator during any bookable "operator covered hours". We have trained as many people as possible since this change, supporting labs when needed to provide this cover. This has allowed us to increase the number of bookable hours and provide YNiC staff with more certainty in relation to when they are scanning. *Critically, we do not want these changes to prevent people from using YNiC.* One of the key reasons for making this change is that it frees up resource to allow us to support those who need it. Instead of providing support for labs that are able to support themselves, we can now use YNiC resources in a more effective, efficient, and equitable manner. *The key point here is that if you want to use YNiC facilities and need support, we are here to help.* If that means providing two YNiC staff during scanning then that is possible. Come talk to us and we will do whatever we can to get your project up and running - we want YNiC used more often by a more diverse set of researchers. As always, get in touch with either me, Beth, or Andre if you have any questions. Best wishes, Aidan & Beth -- *I work 0.8FTE and my working days are Monday-Wednesday and Friday* =========================================================== Dr Aidan J Horner Associate Professor in Psychology & Cognitive Neuroscience Co-Director York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC) Department of Psychology University of York York YO10 5DD https://www.aidanhorner.org/ ===========================================================
