Dear Users The 4-D Neuroimaging International Users' Group Meeting will be held from 13th-15th July. YNiC has been asked to give a number of presentations; one of which is a slot on the "sensory/cognitive roundtable". This will be an excellent opportunity to present exciting MEG results from the YNiC user community to the rest of the 4-D IUGM delegates. Last year three users allowed me to use their data in the presentation. As each speaker at last year's roundtable was only given 6 minutes each to present, I could only include a couple of slides from each user. I envisage that the format will be similar this year and therefore I would only need a couple of slides from any user who would like to share their data. Either Michael Simpson or I will be the YNiC representative on the sensory/cognitive roundtable panel. For now please register any interest in using your data in the roundtable with me. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

[Fwd: [ Post-doc position at CUBRIC, Cardiff]
by Gary Green 16 May '08

16 May '08

Dear users I have been asked to forward this : ------------ FMRI & EEG studies of neurovascular coupling Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) School of Psychology Post-doctoral Research Associate (Combined EEG-FMRI) Applications are invited for an experienced neuroimaging researcher to work on combined EEG-FMRI and quantitative FMRI techniques in humans. You would work with the FMRI Director, Dr Richard Wise, to develop empirical measures of neurovascular coupling in humans. This is important in the long term development of FMRI as a technique for examining changes in brain activity induced by pharmacological agents and neurological disease. The successful applicant would design, implement and analyze combined EEG-FMRI studies with the aim of exploring the relationship between electrophysiological and haemodynamic signals for both sensory-evoked and ongoing (resting) brain activity. An important component of the project lies in relating FMRI signals to physiological measurements from volunteers. (e.g. breathing, cardiac cycle). Respiratory challenges (e.g. breathing tasks) and pharmacological challenges in collaboration with clinical colleagues would also be used to modify the baseline physiology of participants in experiments. Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant area of neuroimaging and be experienced in the analysis of FMRI data. The post is fixed-term for 2 years with a salary up to £33780 (grade 6). Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Richard Wise, CUBRIC, School of Psychology, Cardiff University, Park Place, Cardiff, UK, CF10 3AT. (http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/psych/cubric/). Telephone: +44 (0)29 2087 0358 Email: WiseRG(a)cardiff.ac.uk . Applications should be made through the Cardiff University website: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/jobs/academic/index.html http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/jobs/academic/20080298-290508.html Vacancy ref: 2008/0298 The closing date for applications is Friday 29 May 2008.

Piers Cornelissen ASC - Wednesday 14th May - 4pm B020.
by Michael Simpson 13 May '08

13 May '08

Dear all, Piers has forwarded to me the following agenda for the YNiC ASC tomorrow, Wednesday 14th May. Just to remind you, this will take place in Psychology room B020 at 4pm. Michael -- Dear all, We have just finished some preliminary analyses of MEG data collected from a fast phonological priming task (e.g. brane priming BRAIN, versus brone priming BRAIN) that I would like to report and discuss. The reason for doing the experiment, as many of you know, is that I have wanted to get some clearer insight into the role of the very early activation we have seen across a number of experiments, in left post. sup. IFG and adjacent precentral gyrus during visual word recognition tasks. Initial results from the group analysis of beamformed images within experimental conditions were very encouraging - a real yippee moment. However, once we started analysing virtual electrode data to compare directly between experimental conditions, things become a bit more prickly. While we currently have some results which I think are convincing, I would really like to discuss the issues that have been raised especially regarding the group comparisons of Stockwell transforms, such as: a) For comparisons of Stockwell plots at the group level should we compare differences or percentage signal change between conditions? b) How should we handle the (in our case) quite marked inter-subject variability? c) Should we consider some kind of normalisation between pairs of conditions prior to statistical analysis? We would really appreciate your thoughts on these and other questions, and your opinions about how best to proceed, Best Piers C -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

New Documentation: Workflow
by Sam Johnson 07 May '08

07 May '08

Hello all, As one or two of you may have noticed we've been continuing the ongoing push to improve the documentation in the centre, the latest step of which is a workflow document that will hopefully ease the passage of all projects here at YNiC. This is essentially a route finder to what we think will be the most relevant help and assistance you need depending on the stage of your project, along with any vital information for the work you are currently doing. It includes sections from the first approach an investigator might make to the centre, through to writing up your study. Some sections are more verbose than others, but we hope we've got the balance right between the information you need (and where to get more details), and a easily digestible amount of information at any one time. At present there are a few paper handouts on the long benches in Open Plan. If they disappear we'll take that as a good sign and make arrangements for a more permanent supply, otherwise this documentation, along with updated induction and safety guides, can be found on the website at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/guides/ Here you'll find both web-based and downloadable pdf versions available. As ever, we hope we've covered the key points, but welcome any and all suggestions for improvements. Please send your comments to: support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Although we hope to have stable versions as soon as possible, if you're looking at paper or pdf versions you've downloaded, it's always a good idea to check you have the most recent version (as indicated in the top left hand corner date stamp). Thanks, Sam -- Sam Johnson Science Manager, York NeuroImaging Centre University of York http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

Changes to the doc wiki
by Michael Simpson 01 May '08

01 May '08

Dear all, the more observant of you may have noticed that there have been a number of changes to the Doc wiki recently. In particular there are now six areas about which there is documentation: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docwiki/MEGFrontPage https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docwiki/MRIFrontPage https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docwiki/ITFrontPage https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docwiki/Miscellaneous https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docwiki/TechnicalInfo https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docwiki/YNiCGlossary There has also been a little bit of tidying up here and there. In particular, the MEG Front Page was getting rather long. Don't panic, we haven't deleted everything! The re-organisation just means that the documentation for MEG now has five separate pages. These pages are linked from the MEG Front Page, and are on the following areas; Establishing Key Parameters; Processing Epoch Data; MEG Data Visualisation; Sensor Space Analysis; Source Space Analysis. As ever, there may have been an odd error in the re-edit. If you spot any errors, please email <support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk> and let us know the problem.
