[Fwd: HBM 2009 Call For Abstracts Reminder]

by Gary Green

The Abstract Submission site is now open for the 15th Annual Meeting of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping to be held in San Francisco, CA, June 18-22, 2009. Please note that the deadline is *January 11th, 2009 at 11:59 PM CST USA*. Please click here <http://www.llmsi.com/index.php?cid=1411910&forward=2670> to submit an abstract. Though you are not required to register for the meeting prior to submitting an abstract, the presenter of the abstract must register for the meeting. To take advantage of the lowest registration fee, register online at www.humanbrainmapping.org/sanfrancisco <http://www.llmsi.com/index.php?cid=1411910&forward=2543>_2009_ by March, 15, 2009. Watch for an email announcing the opening of the registration site in January. The Program Committee (PC) of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping's goal is to keep rejection of abstracts low because it wishes to be inclusive. The policy for HBM 2009 will be to reject abstracts that are unethical, incomplete, or contain no data. Statements such as "results will be presented" are not acceptable. The PC also wants the number of posters to be at a level that will provide a positive viewing experience for the attendees. When submitting abstracts for HBM 2009, please consider whether multiple abstracts are truly necessary or if the data you are presenting could be accomplished via submission of one abstract. Thank you for assisting us in increasing the quality of the OHBM Annual Meeting. We look forward to welcoming you to HBM 2009. You can count on the traditional OHBM combination of exciting scientific programs and social events. Do plan to give yourself a little extra time to experience the city of San Francisco. This city by the sea is a bustling metropolis made famous by its most popular landmark, the Golden Gate Bridge. You won't be disappointed. The city has something for everyone. There is an excellent mix of art galleries, attractions, museums, quaint neighborhoods, unique shops, and many ethnic restaurants. For more information, please visit the conference website at www.humanbrainmapping.org/sanfrancisco <http://www.llmsi.com/index.php?cid=1411910&forward=2543>_2009_. The website will continually be updated as more information becomes available. If you have any questions, please contact us at info(a)humanbrainmapping.org <mailto:info@humanbrainmapping.org>. If you encounter issues with paying the abstract submission fee online or other technical glitches, please contact tech support at help(a)spltrak.com <mailto:help@spltrak.com>.

Cluster

by Mark Hymers

Hi, The YNiC cluster is now back in operation. Apologies for the delay but we were unfortunately hindered by (very) slow delivery of some parts needed for server maintenance. All of the machines were imaged overnight to get the client software for the cluster up-to-date. For staff, you need to make sure your machine is running image 20081117. The main change which should be noted is that it is no longer necessary to apply for your account to be enabled to use the cluster. The step is now automatically performed at account creation. The docwiki has been updated to reflect this and the paper-based guides will be updated at their next revision. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Grant application presentations

by a.ellis＠psych.york.ac.uk

Gary, Tony and I would like to invite anyone planning a YNiC-based grant application to think about making a Thursday 4pm presentation outlining your ideas. We know that our applications will have to be good to be successful: a presentation would allow YNiC staff and everyone else involved in YNiC research to offer comments and suggestions that might help you introduce some additional methods or concepts that you hadn't thought of. It would also enable us all to know where each other's research is going, rather than having to wait to hear the results at some point in the future. If you are interested / prepared to do this, please contact Rebecca who will try to accommodate you as early as possible. That's rebecca.millman(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Andy

This week in YNiC

by Gary Green

Dear colleagues In addition to the celebration of TMS coming to York (Thursday at 4pm) we also have a visitor on Wednesday who has expressed his interest in meeting users and discussing the science at YNiC. Lord Sainsbury who officially opened the Centre in 2005, will be visiting from 1:45pm to 2:45. He specifically asked to be shown around YNiC to hear about progress since his last visit. Lord Sainsbury studied Psychology at Cambridge and is known to retain a personal interest in the development of our understanding of cognition. He will be visiting MEG where we will be demonstrating its use in studying verbal & non-verbal memory, MRI where he will be shown recent work on use of fMRI in vision sciences and then he will be taken into the open plan to meet users. If you are free and would like to meet our visitor then please do come along to YNiC on Wednesday from 1:30pm onwards. Lord Sainsbury will be accompanied by the VC and the pro-VC for research thanks Gary -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. 01904 435349 fax 01904 435356 mobile 07986 778954

MEG Planned Maintenance

by Maribel Pulgarin

Dear Users, The MEG system will be undergoing planned, preventative maintenance from Friday, Nov.7th until Friday, Nov. 14th. There will be no MEG scanning during this maintenance window. The work will include a recalibration of the system, an overhaul of the mechanics of the bed and the replacement of half of the SAD cards. We replaced the first half in June, and this is the second and final stage in the replacement. We thank you for your patience in this matter and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Dear all, as many of you know, Laura Lee has just submitted her PhD thesis. Naturally, we congratulate her for this achievement, and are glad that she has manged to complete her thesis so promptly. However, we do now have a Laura Lee shaped hole in the YNiC DSO (Duty Support Officer) rota. Are there any PhD students, Postdocs, or staff members out there who would like the honour of being a YNiC DSO as a fortnightly or monthly fixture on the rota? If so, please email me.

First and second year Psychologists interested in neuroimaging

by michael＠ynic.york.ac.uk

Dear Users, at the 'Meet the Researchers' session for new Psychology first years, there were a number of first years and seconds years interested in getting involved in brain imaging. Those who showed interest were encouraged to join the participant pool, and to sign up to the ynic-users mailing list. Should you be looking for volunteers for your study, now may be a good time to use the new database and advertise for your study. Similarly, if you are looking for undergraduates to get involved with your studies, there are a number of new members of the ynic-users mailing list eager to learn the finer arts of neuroimaging. Best wishes, Michael
