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.
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.

Hi All,
Good news!
The MRI scanner has been repaired, quality assurance and stability checks
have been carried out, and the scanner is ready to continue scanning. All
existing bookings should go ahead.
Thank you all for your patience while we were getting this sorted, and
please get in touch if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Rich

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

Hi All,
The Siemens scanner has developed a serious fault this afternoon, and it is
not currently operational. An engineer has inspected the system and
diagnosed the issue, but unfortunately the repair will take some time. We
have been advised that the scanner will not be functional next week (26/2 -
1/3).
Please ensure that you contact all the participants that you have scheduled
to scan next week, to let them know that their scan sessions will have to
be cancelled and rescheduled for a later date. We apologise for the
substantial disruption, unfortunately this is an age-related fault that
could not be prevented.
We will do everything we can to get the scanner up and running as soon as
possible, and we will keep you updated as soon as we know when it will be
available again.
Best Wishes,
Rich
