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!

Hello,
A quick update to let you know when our next training and induction
sessions are scheduled, and how to apply to give a YNiC seminar.
*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 *Monday the 29th of April 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 Thursday the 25th of April,
10:00-12:00. * 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.
*YNiC Seminar*
*There will be no YNiC seminar next Wednesday the 10th of April.*
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.
Cheers,
Rich

Greetings fellow cognoscenti!
This is a reminder that next week (Friday 22rd Mar, 11.30am, YNiC) we have
our next "Cogs" meeting. Alex Pike will be leading the session on "Can we
use multimodal MRI and clinical data to predict treatment response in major
depressive disorder?
<https://uniofyork.padlet.org/tomhartley/cogs-7svj1mgvsc2jq2yp/wish/29186935…>".
She'll discuss a recent paper that suggests the answer may be yes
<https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.20230206>, in the
context of a recent study indicating that there are difficulties with the
approach <https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.20230206>.
This session may be of interest to colleagues beyond the YNiC mailing list,
so feel free to forward it to those you think might like to come along.
Cogs meetings are a format designed to generate informal and lively
discussion about topics that excite and inspire us. It's 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.

Dear all,
We like to have posters in the YNiC open plan area that represent the
diversity of research we conduct at YNiC. If you have any recent posters
you would be happy to have displayed, please bring them in and give them
to one of the YNiC staff. That way we can keep things a bit more up to date!
Best wishes,
Aidan

University of York. Cogs meetings are a distinctive format designed to
generate informal and lively discussion about topics that excite and
inspire us.
Friday's session will be led by Adam Curtis who'll be talking about *The
Temporal Dynamics of Schema-mediated Memory Processing.*
If you'd like to present a Cogs 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.
*discussion board: *

Hello
We'll be taking the YNiC IT systems offline on *Tuesday 5th March *at *9am*
while electrical contractors test the power circuits in the server room. We
expect the work to take no more that 30 minutes. This will affect all IT
services including remote desktop and the cluster.
Thanks

Dear all,
As mentioned in the recent Psychology staff meeting, we have now made an
office in YNiC available for everyone to use. There are 3 desks in the
office, 2 with YNiC desktop PCs and one is a hot desk with a single
USB-C plugin. The office is the first one on the left as you come into
the open plan area in YNiC. If you would like to spend more time in YNiC
but want a bit more privacy than the open plan area allows for, then
this is the space for you!
For now the room isn't bookable. We will see how the room is used and by
whom over the coming months and can reassess whether it should be a
bookable space in the future. The main message is, come spend some time
in YNiC and talk to us about your awesome research plans!
Best wishes,
Aidan
