Useful links for the Matlab-inclined
by Pádraig Kitterick 28 Jun '07

28 Jun '07

Dear all, While struggling to co-exist with Matlab, I have found some excellent documentation online which I thought others might find useful. The first, and probably most useful for those already familiar with using Matlab, is a tips & tricks document which covers various techniques of array and matrix manipulation, which can save you a lot of coding and time searching through the Matlab help library. You can download/view it online here: http://home.online.no/~pjacklam/matlab/doc/mtt/doc/mtt.pdf For those who are just starting Matlab, or need a more extensive reference, the official Matlab 'Getting Started' guide is worth a read: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/pdf_doc/matlab/getstart.pdf as is the suitabily named 'Matlab for Psychologists': http://www.dartmouth.edu/~antonia/matlab_for_psychologists.pdf Finally, the following page contains lots of useful links to similar documents, including guides to speed up Matlab code through vectorizing: http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~marios/matlab/matlab_tricks.html I hope these are a useful resource for the Matlab users out there. Best wishes, Padraig -- Pádraig Kitterick Graduate Student Department of Psychology University of York Heslington York YO10 5DD UK Tel: +44 (0) 1904 43 3170 Email: p.kitterick(a)psych.york.ac.uk

MRI status
by Gary Green 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Dear colleagues The MRI system RF amplifier will be replaced tomorrow (Tuesday the 26th) afternoon. For the rest of the week we will be soak testing the new amp and the new receiver system. If you use the new system and detect ANY problems, please let us know. We are interested in even the smallest of problems. I will email you all with an update later in the week. Other news: We now have MEG compatible lenses and lens holder. We need people/projects who use subjects that normally wear glasses to try it out and give us feedback. A 'how-to' session will be included in the Thursday session on the 5th of July. -- 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

summer students
by Tim Andrews 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Dear All, Silke and I interviewed a number of our current second year students yesterday for a summer bursary and were impressed by the standard. Many of the students expressed an interest in pursuing a research career in neuroimaging. We only had a couple of bursarys available, so I was wondering if anyone needed some help over the summer. I have spoken to a few of you about this, but, if anyone else is interested, let me know and I will be able to advise on suitable candidates.

MRI scanning procedures
by a.morland＠psychology.york.ac.uk 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Dear All, Unfortunately my previous messages concerning MRI scanning appear not to have had the desired effect. Many investigators are still not fully prepared for their scan sessions and are expecting far too much from Chris, our new radiographer. This is putting her in an unfair position. The attached form will therefore have to be completed by investigators for all MRI projects. No form = No Scan! An example of a completed form is also attached for your reference. Chris has started to compile a file of the forms so that she will be able to set up scans appropriately for each project. If any student investigators you supervise are not reached by this message, please liaise with them so that forms are submitted ahead of any scan sessions they intend to book. Tony

Dear all Some time-saving tips for when using the supine projector screen in MEG.... Orientation needs to be changed using projector handset: Menu - Main - Mirror- H&V invert Image can be moved up/down using projector handset 'Lens shift' buttons. Image also needs to be much smaller than for standard projector, as it gets 'amplified' by the greater distance. Lisa Brindley

Thursday seminar
by Sam Johnson 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hello all, Well after a rather disappointing turn out last week I can only apologise again for the lack of alcohol following Michael's talk and reassure everyone that normal service will be resumed, the wine is ready and waiting. Even better though is the prospect of a project proposal from Jakke Tamminen, and a brainstorm feedback from Laura Lee. Jakke will be talking about his project "Neural correlates of novel word learning". Laura will talk about "Outcomes of Brainstorming. Comparing fMRI & MEG; category-selectivity in the visual cortex". Laura's asked me to emphasise that this won't be the same as her departmental talk, she'll be talking much more about techniques and analysis rather than results, discussing filtering, block design in MEG and virtual electrodes, so there's sure to be something for everyone. Hope to see you all on Thursday, Thanks, Sam

Thursday evening
by Sam Johnson 16 May '07

16 May '07

Hello all, Just a reminder that tomorrow evening the Thursday evening session at YNiC will consist of Garreth giving a project presentation for his next MEG study, looking at amplitude modulation, and Angel talking about the usefulness of noise reduction for different data sets. We've got the next couple of weeks' sessions booked, but this is now your chance to volunteer to 'run' a session. You can present work, ideas, problems, or opt for a more traditional journal club approach. If we don't have any volunteers stepping forward, we'll be moving to the "who hasn't stepped back" method instead :) Hope to see you tomorrow, Sam

YNiC Seminar, Thursday 10th May.
by Michael Simpson 08 May '07

08 May '07

Dear all, I will be giving the YNiC Thursday evening seminar this Thursday, 10th May, at 4pm in YNiC Open Plan. I plan to present an introduction to oscillatory brain activity, and then discuss the linked article which studies whether 'oscillations in brain potentials are mere epiphenomena'. The article is short, only a letter, and so is not arduous to read in advance. This should be of particular interest to anyone currently analysing MEG data, or about to embark on an MEG study. https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/events/ynic-thursday-seminar/ 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

request for data to present at 4-D Users meeting
by rem 03 May '07

03 May '07

Dear YNiC Users I will be "YNiC representative" in the Cognitive Roundtable session at the 4-D Users meeting in June. The aim is to showcase MEG data generated by the YNiC analysis tools to the rest of the 4-D User community. Therefore I am looking for some data from cognitive experiments to include in my presentation, particularly if you have also done some beamforming and virtual electrode analysis. The catch is that I will only have 5-7 minutes to deliver the presentation. I am hoping to provide the audience with a brief overview of a few different cognitive studies within this 5-7 minutes. I am planning to present a maximum of 5 experiments (it does not have to be a complete data set) and talk about each study for about 1 min. If you would like your study to be presented in this way at the 4-D Users meeting, please get in touch with me and we can start working on your slides.

Thursday 4pm session
by Sam Johnson 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hello all, This week's Thursday session will be an "open" brainstorm in which Philip Quinlan will talk about some of his results so far using MEG to investigate the processing of chimaeric sounds. As well as an interesting discussion, the session will provide those who have not yet had a brainstorm an opportunity see what's on offer. If that's not enough to tempt you, the usual alcohol bribe is also in place. Thanks, Sam. -- Sam Johnson Science Manager, York NeuroImaging Centre University of York http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk
