Thursday Seminar
by Sam Johnson 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Hello all, Just a reminder and a little more information about this Thursday's Seminar at YNiC. Mark has prepared an introduction to Unix that I will do my very best to translate into something we mere mortals can understand. This week we'll be covering some of the generic basics, including the permissions problem I know has been an issue of late. There'll also be information on some simple command line tools and the basics of scripting. Next week we'll be looking at YNiC specific information, including some useful hints and tips that will hopefully help to save you time and blood pressure. Thanks, Sam

MEG at YNiC : current status
by Gary Green 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Dear colleagues I am sorry to have to announce that MEG is not working. We have had a problem since late last week with the Polhemus system which is needed for co-registration of the data with MRI. We thought we had fixed it over the weekend but it is now clear that we have to have a new unit flown in from San Diego. We will also need to get 4D engineers to attend to fix the problem as it is not simply one of replacing the unit. Unfortunately this means that MEG may be unavailable until the middle of next week. I know this is going to be a major inconvenience as MEG is currently very busy. As soon as it is working again we will let you know and will help you rebook or reorganise your time in MEG. We will almost certainly have to organise block booking so that several participants can be scanned one after the other to get through the backlog. The MEG system itself is working fine! Projects are stalled because of a piece of equipment that costs less than 1% of the original MEG cost. Sorry, Gary -- Gary Green Director 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

YNiC ASC session on Virtual Electrode Analyses in MEG
by Andy Ellis 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

Dear All NOTES ON THE YNIC ANALYSIS SUPPORT COLLOQUIUM ON VIRTUAL ELECTRODE ANALYSES IN MEG, WEDNESDAY 13 FEBRUARY 2008. The current YNiC MEG tools allow us to create beautiful and defensible images showing how the brain's responses to stimuli evolve over time. But beamforming requires the comparison of active windows with passive windows, and the use of active windows less that 200 ms long is not recommended. So while moving windows convey a good initial impression of the progression of neural events, they do not take full advantage of MEG's potential for looking at the detailed timing of those events. There is another issue with beamformed brain maps, which is that it is not easy to compare results across conditions. You can point out that there is a significant response in a particular brain region in one condition of an experiment but not in another, but it could be that the response just makes it over the threshold in one condition and just falls below threshold in the other. The absolute difference in the magnitude of the two responses (or, to be accurate, the magnitude of the difference between the two active and passive conditions) may be small. Virtual electrodes offer the potential for asking intelligent questions about the strength and time course of events at specific points in the brain, allowing direct comparisons between conditions and making better use of the temporal resolution of MEG. Piers Cornelissen presented the results of some virtual electrode analyses he and his colleagues have done, comparing responses to different types of stimuli at different regions of interest in the brain. Piers showed results in the form of time-frequency histograms ('Stockwell plots'), separating out evoked and induced components of the total response; also event-related frequency (ERF) plots showing changes in the amplitude of evoked responses over time. He also discussed techniques that he and his colleagues have used for making statistical comparisons across conditions in both types of analysis. A lengthy and gripping discussion ranged over: 1. The best method to identify regions of interest, 2. How best, having identified a point of interest in a standardised brain, to identify the corresponding points in individual participant brains, and 3. What issues are involved in doing individual and group level analyses, and what would be the best analyses to adopt within YNiC, at least as interim solutions that will allow research groups to make progress with these techniques. Doing virtual electrode analyses at a group level is a complex business but has strong appeal to a number of researchers. Piers has a working solution which he and Uzma will document and make available. In complement to this documentation, YNiC will document the assumptions and issues associated with Virtual Electrode Analysis at the group level. It was also clear in the discussion that connectivity measures applied to Virtual Electrode analysis are going to be important to understanding more about the signals recorded in MEG, and more about how functional interactions involving different regions in the brain evolve over time. Deep thought will be given to this topic within YNiC. Ideas for future fora are welcomed.

Last nights YNiC ASC session.
by Michael Simpson 14 Feb '08

14 Feb '08

Dear all, just to say thanks to Andy and Piers for chairing last nights YNiC ASC session; a digest of which will be forwarded to the User list in due course. Given that we gave everyone the option to leave at 5pm, but everyone stayed until 5.30, I'll interpret it to have been and success! It was good that it generated so much discussion. On which note, would anyone like to volunteer to chair the next YNiC ASC session? If so, send an email to the ynic-users stating the topic for discussion, and the date on which you would like to hold the session. I look forward to hearing from you all ... thanks, Michael -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

Virtual electrode analysis in MEG: the 1st YNiC ASC
by Andy Ellis 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Dear All I will attempt to chair a discussion this Wednesday (11th) at 4pm on virtual electrode analysis in MEG. The meeting is the first of the proposed YNiC Analysis Support Colloquia looking at current and future needs for data analysis (MRI as well as MEG). The meeting will take place in the Psychology lecture theatre (B020), NOT in YNiC. Virtual electrode analyses probe individual points in the brain. They potentially allow you to chart the response at that location over time, taking full advantage of the capacity of MEG to record changes over time with millisecond accuracy. Some of us feel, possibly naively, that the ability to do virtual electrode analyses at a group as well as an individual level is all that stands between us and world domination. Piers will begin by demonstrating some group level analyses that he and colleagues have done as part of an MEG study that included written words, consonant strings and faces as stimuli. The aim of the session, however, is not to discuss the meaning of different studies, but what what forms of virtual electrode analysis are possible, and what we could hope to learn from them. If you have attempted any virtual electrode analyses, or think that you may want to do some in future, please bring them along. Anyone who has any results to share is welcome to bring along some slides. So that's Wednesday at 4pm in Psychology B020.

MRI masterclass - split session - Thursday 31st January
by andre＠ynic.york.ac.uk 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Thank you to those of you who replied to my previous emails requesting that you contact us if you intend to attend any/all of the current masterclasses. We have had a low response in terms of attendance for this week's MRI session (so far only 5 interested parties). Those 5 five will be glad to know that we fully intend to continue with the session - the tutorials will be even more interactive than usual if the numbers are smaller! However, it would be naive of me to ignore the feedback from some that suggests that committing 2 1/2 hours on a Thursday afternoon is difficult for some of you. As such a minor revision to Thursday's program is proposed: The session will be split into 2 halves - Session 1: 2.30 - 4.00 - an introduction to the FSL software environment; - a full single subject AND across subject (group) fMRI analysis tutorial with worked examples; - examples of manipulating data - co-registration, averaging, extracting time-series (with user supplied examples), extracting brains Session 2: 4.00 - 5.00 - an introduction to the more weird and wonderful tools in fsl - exploring fMRI data without a model .. ICA - comparing spatial differences between groups - TBSS and VBM - exploring connectivity with DTI data - again, session will involve worked examples and user interaction with scripts Hopefully splitting the session will help those of you limited by time to attend at least part of the afternoon, and allow those of you who are only interested in basic fMRI processing / newer features to attend the times most suitable for you. Please do let us know if you intend to attend .. it makes our lives easier! Thanks. ************************************************************************ Andre Gouws User Support Manager York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5DG Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435328 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

You will all be pleased to hear that we now have a certificate that states that the oxygen level in MEG is 20.9% The oxygen monitor has also been shown to detect and alarm when the level is low (18%). What this really means is that the oxygen monitor has been calibrated.

Virtual electrodes as a YNiC Analysis Support Colloquium?
by Andy Ellis 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Piers and I would be willing to attempt to lead one or two sessions on virtual electrode analysis in MEG. Points for discussion could include: 1. Where you can stick your virtual electrodes. How to position your VEs to best effect. 2. What kinds of information you can get out of VEs - analyses in the frequency and amplitude domains. 3. What kinds of statistical analyses would it be good to be able to do? These might best be done after the MEG masterclass on 7 Feb. Any interest?

YNiC Analysis Support Colloquia
by Michael Simpson 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Dear Users, YNiC would like to invite you to the YNiC Analysis Support Colloquia. These sessions will take place on Wednesday evenings from 4pm to 5pm in Room B020, Psychology. This new session is designed to get Users to present and discuss contemporary analysis problems. They are open to all Users, and will be attended by as many YNiC staff as are available. The format will be: * A User will send a message to ynic-users(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to say that they would like to have a YNiC ASC on a set date, and on a set subject. * Once a User has nominated a particular date, they are effectively the chair for that session. Before the session, the chair will be expected to forward an agenda to the User list to let YNiC staff, and Users, know what the topic of the session will be, and who will present what. * The chair will be expected to make a short presentation on an analysis problem at their YNiC ASC, and then lead the subsequent discussion. * If another User would like to present at a colloquia that is already being chaired, it will be up to the User to contact the chair in advance to see if their data / problem is appropriate for the session. Therefore, in some colloqiua there may be more than one example of the problem presented. * The chair for the session may be asked to add to the YNiC documentation after their session if new insights into analyses have been gleaned. Those of you who have had a brainstorm will recognise aspects of the format. The new YNiC ASC will hopefully open these brainstorms up so that all Users can benefit from them. Hence, analysis insights that emerge form these colloquia will be open to the whole User community. These colloquia will also replace interpretation support that may previously have been available via your SLO. This has been decided to ensure that all projects have the potential for the same support, and also that all projects will essentially benefit from input from all YNiC staff and Users, rather than just one individual. We hope that it will be a self-supporting enterprise for the whole User community. (N.B. Note that technical support related to your analysis will still be available from your SLO.) So, all that is left to do is email ynic-users(a)ynic.york.ac.uk and volunteer for a YNiC ASC, making sure to state the date and subject. Best Wishes, Michael P.S. We appreciate that there may be occasions when there is a clash with Board of Studies meetings however, as there is only 2 per term, this will only be problem 6 times a year. On these occasions Users can suggest to the chair of the YNiC ASC that they might move their date to another day.
