Dear Users This week Gary Green will give a talk on "Statistics for Neuroimaging" from 4-5 pm in YNiC open plan. Gary will talk about the different types of statistics that can be used for neuroimaging experiments. The aim of this talk is to open up a discussion about which statistical methods we should use in the context of statistical contrasts of experimental conditions. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Dear Users Today Suresh Muthukumaraswamy from the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) will be giving a talk on "Gamma oscillations in human visual cortex: Function, physiology and relationship to BOLD" from 4-5 pm in YNiC open plan. Everyone is welcome to attend. Best wishes Rebecca Here is Suresh's web page: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/psych/contactsandpeople/researchstaff/muthukumaras… and here is the abstract for his talk: "I review a number of studies conducted at CUBRIC using magnetoencephalography to investigate gamma oscillations (> 30 Hz) in human visual cortex. Firstly we demonstrate that gamma band responses are sensitive to a number of bottom-up stimulus parameters including spatial and temporal frequency, colour, contrast, motion and stimulus type. Studies comparing both BOLD and gamma are then considered. These data demonstrate that while BOLD and gamma responses demonstrate considerable spatial coincidence they are markedly different in their response across parametrically varied stimulus dimensions. This functional decoupling implies that gamma band oscillations as recorded by MEG are not sufficient to generate a BOLD response and that MEG can be sensitive to certain stimulus parameters that BOLD is not. Gamma band responses in individuals can be shown to be quite variable in terms of frequency and amplitude across individuals but that these effects are highly repeatable across recording sessions. Our data also demonstrate how this variability in gamma band responses and BOLD can be accounted for by measuring GABA concentration with magnetic resonance spectroscopy." -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Mental Capacity Act
by Gary Green 21 May '09

21 May '09

Dear Users From time to time PIs and users will wish to carry out non-invasive imaging research on individuals who may have a condition, or have limited cognitive ability, that makes it difficult for them to understand questions, respond appropriately or in their own best interests. The Mental Capacity Act which was put into practice in 2007 seeks to provide protection for such individuals. We are required to take actions to ensure that we comply with this act in the interests not only of the individual but also of the research worker or staff assist with that research. A list of the 12 things that you need to know about the act can be read at http://www.sabp.nhs.uk/serviceusers-carers/MentalCapacityAct A very useful document, prepared by the BPS, "Conducting research with people not having the capacity to consent to their participation - a practical guide for researchers" can be found here http://www.bps.org.uk/downloadfile.cfm?file_uuid=AC678329-1143-DFD0-7E20-4E… -- Gary Green Director York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. +44 (0) 1904 435349 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004

Can I take this opportunity to remind everyone who uses YNiC that as a clinical facility we have to be especially vigilant with respect to hygiene. Please use the antiseptic gel dispensers, to clean your hands, on entry and exit from the MRI and MEG corridors. This is both for protection of you and the participants. thanks -- Gary Green Director York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. +44 (0) 1904 435349 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004

Aims The aim of the conference is to present the current status of research into the neurobiology of language, at the crossroads of neuroscience, linguistics, and experimental psychology. Topics will relate to the neural mechanisms underlying perceptual, cognitive, motor, and linguistic processes used to produce and to understand language in both children and adults. The conference will feature poster and slide presentations as well as keynote presentations by several of the field's most distinguished researchers. The Committee NLC is organized by an international committee of experts on Language Neurobiology, including Jeffrey Binder, Sheila Blumstein, Laurent Cohen, Angela Friederici, Vincent Gracco, Peter Hagoort, Marta Kutas, Alec Marantz, David Poeppel, Cathy Price, Kunioshi Sakai, Riitta Salmelin, Bradley Schlagger, and Richard Wise, under the supervision of Steven L. Small and Pascale Tremblay, and co-sponsored by the Center for Integrative Neuroscience and Neuroengineering Research (CINNR) and the Human Neuroscience Laboratory of The University of Chicago, and by Elsevier's International Journal Brain and Language (http://mail.elsevier-alerts.com/go.asp?/bESJ001/qH65X39/xGF7Y39). Call for Abstracts for NLC 2009 Opens on Monday April 13, 2009 at 9AM (CST) Closes on Sunday, May 17, 2009 at midnight (CST) SfN regulations allow individuals to present their SfN abstracts during SfN satellite events. It is not necessary to be a member of the SfN to attend NLC 2009 and it is not obligatory to submit NLC 2009 abstracts to SfN.

Dear all, Due to the need to do some systems maintanence, YNiC will be shutting at 5pm on Thursday evening (16th) and all computers (including the cluster) will be temporarily switched off. We will re-open as normal on Friday morning (17th). This means that no cluster jobs will be able to be left running on Thursday night and all open plan desktops will be logged out. This does not affect the Psychology email server. Apologies for the short notice and inconvenience. Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Data Protection Policy
by Mark Hymers 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Dear all, We've just updated the YNiC Data Protection policy which is now available at https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/policies/data-protection At the same time, there is now a dedicated contact address (data(a)ynic.york.ac.uk) for handling all data protection and image/CD requests. We hope this will simplify and speed up future requests and would appreciate it if everyone could use this address. Whilst updating the document, we have also revised the "Use of Computer Facilities" policy to point at the Data Protection policy. The new rules are available at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/policies/computer-usage They are basically the same as the old ones but explicitly require users to follow the Data Protection Policy (we're apparently required to put this in). The rules for computer use now read as follows: ================================================================================ These regulations apply to all computer users (staff, students and visitors) at YNiC. They are subject to change after the proper notification of users. 1. All users must abide by the University of York's Regulations for use of computing facilities (http://www.york.ac.uk/admin/aso/ordreg/r11.htm) and the regulations therein, specifically the use of JANET and SuperJANET, available directly here (http://www.ja.net/services/publications/policy/aup.html). 2. All users are required to familiarise themselves with the YNiC Data Protection policy and acknowledge that data must not be removed from YNiC without express, written permission from the Data Protection Officer of YNiC. Contact information and the policy are available at https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/policies/data-protection ================================================================================ Apologies for the tedious nature of this message.
