Hello,
We have an upcoming closure due to a bank holiday this coming Monday, an
exciting research seminar will be presented by Clara Humpston, and details
of our latest scheduled training sessions can be found below.
*Bank holidays*
There is an upcoming University-wide bank holidays, so *YNiC will not be
open on **Monday the 27th of May*. Remote desktop access will continue to
be available, but there will be no technical support.
*YNiC Seminar*
*On Wednesday the 5th of June at 1pm *we will host a seminar by *Clara
Humpston* on the subject of "'Structural and functional neural correlates
of anomalous self-experiences in a nonclinical sample".
If you would like to give a talk this semester, please get in touch, there
are no specific requirements; presentations can include previously
collected data, new data, pilot data and/or study plans and ideas. This is
a great way to get feedback in a relaxed and friendly environment. Please
message support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk.
*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 28th of May at 10:00*. Please ask them to contact
support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up.
*Level 0 operator training*
*The next L0 training session will be held on Friday the 24th of May,
13:00-15:00. * Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be
a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal
submitted to YNiC. Please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any
questions or wish to book on to this session. Please note that sessions are
limited to 4 trainees, which will be allocated on a first-come first-served
basis. Training must be booked at least a week before the session date, in
order to reserve the scanner booking.
Cheers,
Rich

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

Hello Everyone,

*Date and Time: *Wednesday 24th April at 1pm
*Location: *YNiC (zoom link available)
*Speaker: *Anna Kuppuswamy
*Title:* Post-stroke fatigue - a multi-dimensional problem or a cluster of
disorders? A case for phenotyping post-stroke fatigue
*Abstract: *The last decade has seen a considerable increase in scientific
interest in poststroke fatigue resulting in studies addressing both the
pathophysiology and therapeutic strategies for reduction of poststroke
fatigue. Of the many emerging concepts, one that urgently needs to be
addressed is identifying clusters/subtypes/phenotypes of poststroke
fatigue. In this talk, I will present a case for three potential
phenotypes, discuss evidence in support of the phenotypes and a proposal
for multidimensional phenotyping as an essential step towards personalised
interventions for post-stroke fatigue.

Hi everyone,
Next week's Cogs meeting (Friday 19th April, 11.30am, YNiC) is on
"Learning in the Sleeping Brain" and is led by Vanessa Keller. The session
will focus on this recent paper
<https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints/89601#tab-content>, including
some potentially exciting advances alongside some potentially less
convincing claims. Just the kind of thing we love to hear about and discuss!
Cogs meetings are open to undergrads, academics, masters students,
postdocs, research staff, PhD students, YNiC staff and basically anyone
with an interest in cognitive neuroscience at the University of York.
If you'd like to present a session, if you have ideas for topics that would
be good to hear about , or if you want to find out what others are
suggesting please take a look at the discussion board, or email us. We have
another slot coming up on Friday 3rd May (although it's not yet in the
departmental calendar) - no topic or speaker has been firmly identified
yet, so if you are very keen to present please get in touch.
After that we will start looking for presenters and topics for next
semester - which seems a long way off. We look to have a mix of people at
different career stages, from different labs and with different interests,
so wherever you fit in, you'll fit in!
*discussion board: *
*https://cogs.ynic.york.ac.uk/ <https://cogs.ynic.york.ac.uk/>*
*email the organizers (Tom Hartley, Beth Jefferies) by
email at cogs(a)ynic.york.ac.uk <cogs(a)ynic.york.ac.uk>*.
See you all at Cogs!
