Computing service maintenance
by Gary Green 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Dear Colleagues Computing Service have asked us to take our machines down for a period of three hours on Wednesday evening. This will allow us to take advantage of a change in the University network architecture and will provide more resilience in our connections to the University. Please can everyone stop submitting cluster jobs that will not be complete by 5pm on Wednesday. To be on the safe side I would suggest not submitting jobs after 3pm on Wednesday. Even then jobs may be lost if they are still running at 5. During the downtime, mail and web services will also be interrupted but for a shorter period. Thanks -- 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

Reduced Support
by Sam Johnson 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hello all, As I'm sure many of you will know there's a fairly large contingent of YNiC users and staff heading off to Barcelona in a couple of weeks for the annual 4D users meeting. This will be a very hard working trip (with not a hint of tapas or sangria, no siree) but does mean that for at least some of the week beginning 14th of July there will be very limited support available at YNiC. Some of the staff will be returning towards the end of the week but for the 14th to 16th at least, YNiC will be running with little more than a skeleton staff. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause, but the 4D meetings have been very useful in the past and we hope will be so again this year. If you have any issues that you think may come up over that week you may well be advised to let us know as soon as possible so we can resolve them ahead of time, or put them off till the following week. Hopefully the disruption will be minimal, and worth the ideas and developments we'll bring back. Thanks, Sam

Next Thursday
by Sam Johnson 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hello again, Thanks to all who pointed out my deliberate mistake in nicely clashing next Thursday's seminar with an important, whole faculty psychology meeting. Oops. I'm just checking that there are no problems in moving the seminar back a bit to allow people to get across to YNiC, and once I've confirmed that I'll send another email with a slightly revised time. In the mean time, thanks again to those who let me know, and watch this space, Yours abashedly, Sam

Etiquette
by a.morland＠psychology.york.ac.uk 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Dear All, I just wanted to pass on some advice with regard to accessing the MRI corridor, when you are about to scan participants. I am communicating this information because over recent days, quite consistently, investigators together with their participants have been milling around in the MRI corridor in advance of their booked slot. I know that this reflects enthusiasm and an effort on the investigators part to be well prepared for their scan session and make good use of time. However, the presence of people in the MRI corridor also runs the risk of disquieting patients who have been scanned for health reasons. I want to try and strike a balance between optimising the use of the scanner and maximising privacy for patients and research participants, who change clothes in the cubicles on the MRI corridor. Heres the plan then: (1) A maximum of two investigators, but preferably just one investigator, may accompany the research participant into the MRI corridor. (2) The investigator(s) can stay in the corridor only for the time it takes to explain the procedure for changing into scrubs to the participant. (3) The investigator(s) must then enter the interview room and wait for the participant to join them. (4) The MRI operator with then come to the interview room to invite the investigator(s) and participant through to the scanner suite. It is very likely that a patient will be changing back into their clothes at this time, so please keep conversation professional and to a minimum. (5) If other investigators wish to join the scan session, they may do so only at the discretion of the MRI operator, who will be able to determine whether patients privacy will be compromised by the presence of addition people and will be able to advise when investigators should leave to ensure privacy is maintained. If you find that the interview room has already been reserved, participants may change into scrubs, but must return to and wait in reception with the investigators until they are invited through to the scanner suite by the MRI operator. If investigators are found not to be conforming to this procedure, one of their scan sessions will be used as a training session on how to prepare participants for scanning. Thanks for your help with this. Tony

Booking Changes
by Mark Hymers 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, As of today, there is a small change to the booking system for MEG and MRI at YNiC. Whilst previously, bookings were made on 10-minute intervals, in order to fit the clinical and research booking together more easily, this has now changed, for future bookings, to 15-minute intervals (i.e bookings start and end at 00, 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour). The bookings page (https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/bookings/) has also been changed to show the timings of existing bookings more clearly. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Hi, Please be aware that the default behaviour of the beamformer has changed as of 01/06/2008. An artifact has been identified which has now been compensated for. As such, if you have run any beamforming studies prior to 01/06/2008, it is vitally important that you familiarise yourself with the issue of FilterPadding found at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/FilterPadding Any questions should be directed to analysis-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Thanks, Mark (on behalf of the YNiC Staff) -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

4-D Neuorimaging IUGM
by rem 21 May '08

21 May '08

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.

[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 .

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
