This Week at YNiC

26 May '20

Good Morning everyone I hope you enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend and were able to take some time to rest and relax. There is nothing new to report this week, just an update on GE and the usual notices. *GE update* We are awaiting parts for the air handling unit in the GE scanner, so as a precaution the system is currently down until the necessary parts are received and installed. *Logging out of the Remote Desktop* We would like to remind users about the importance of *logging out* to end remote desktop sessions at the end of the day. You should treat the remote desktop in the same way as the open plan PCs: save your work and log out as you normally would once you finish for the day (i.e. Applications > Log Out) - once you've logged out your session should automatically terminate, but if not, you should also terminate the session on the x2go client. Any remote desktop sessions that have been suspended (not opened or used) for more than ten days will be terminated to free up space. *Support* If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly. *YNiC Journal Club - Thursday 4pm* This week we will be watching another recorded talk together. We will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of the YNiC staff will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, add comments in the zoom chat, or just discuss it at the end. Note that there is no pressure to have your mic or video on at any time during or after the talk (you also don't need to watch it in advance).

18 May '20

Good Morning everyone I hope you are all keeping well and looking after yourselves. With the recent variability in weather we've experienced some issues with our air handling unit in the GE scanner, so as a precaution the system is currently down until the necessary parts are received and installed. Since we're still in lockdown, this will not result in any 'loss of scanning', but we hope to have everything back up and running as soon as we can. We are still performing regular essential maintenance to ensure the centre is in good shape and ready for us to continue with research once we are in a position to do so. *Logging out of the Remote Desktop* We would like to remind users about the importance of *logging out* to end remote desktop sessions at the end of the day. You should treat the remote desktop in the same way as the open plan PCs: save your work and log out as you normally would once you finish for the day (i.e. Applications > Log Out) - once you've logged out your session should automatically terminate, but if not, you should also terminate the session on the x2go client. Any remote desktop sessions that have been suspended (not opened or used) for more than ten days will be terminated to free up space. *Support* If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly. *YNiC Journal Club - Thursday 4pm* This week the talk we will be watching together will be another from the OHBM archive. We will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of the YNiC staff will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, add comments in the zoom chat, or just discuss it at the end.

Hi everyone I hope you all had a relaxing long weekend, and are all doing OK. As well as the usual reminders, below, we wanted to reiterate the message from the Vice-Chancellor today - there are no changes to the current working arrangements, and the centre remains closed.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. *Remote desktop timeout* >From today, any remote desktop sessions that have been suspended (not opened or used) for more than ten days will be terminated to free up space. As a matter of best practice, please save any unsaved work before leaving a session anyway as we cannot guarantee you will be able to reopen a suspended session. *Support* If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly. *YNiC Journal Club - Thursday 4pm* The talk for journal club will be announced later this week.

As usual, we haven't decided on the video yet, but what I will do is add the YouTube link to the zoom meeting title once we have decided (in case you want to see what's on the agenda before attending the Journal Club). The plan is that we will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of us will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, or just discuss it at the end.

Hi everyone I hope you enjoyed the extended Bank Holiday weekend (despite the limited options for activities!). YNiC staff are continuing to maintain the centre (on an alternating schedule to maintain social distancing) to ensure that MEG helium fills, MRI scanner DQAs, and Backups are performed regularly. We have a couple of points we would like to make YNiC users aware of today: *Closing Remote Desktop Sessions* Once you have finished your remote desktop sessions for the day, whenever possible please log out and shutdown your session (rather than just suspending). *Support* If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly. *YNiC Journal Club - Thursday 4pm* This week we will be watching a YouTube video of a talk given by Kendrick Kay at the OSA Fall Vision Meeting in 2017, titled: "Bottom-up and Top-down computations in word- and face-selective cortex". The plan is that we will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of us will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, or just discuss it at the end.

This Week at YNiC
by Lauren Welbourne 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

Hi all I hope everyone is staying safe and well. As you may have seen, the University is adding an extra two days to the Easter holiday this weekend, so the University will be closed from Wednesday 8th to Monday 13th April. Therefore, YNiC user support will also be unavailable over that period. You will still be able to use the remote desktop, if you wish. More hard work from Joe, Mark and Rich last week means that we've now increased our remote desktop capacity even further. However, to ensure that everyone can make use of the remote desktop, please note that any large analyses must *only *be run on the cluster, and not directly on the remote desktop. Any users that do not use the remote desktop responsibly will have their sessions terminated by our IT team, so please adhere to this restriction. Please see the information and further page links here: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/Cluster. I hope you are able to enjoy some work-free time over the bank holiday weekend! In the meantime, if you are experiencing any technical issues please send us a ticket at support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, with screenshots and details of the errors. All the best Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY

Hi everyone Apologies for the delay in sending you the paper for this week. Alex Wade will be presenting the attached paper by Tyler, Lani and Hwang (2018), Ultrasonic modulation of neural circuit activity, Current Opinion in Neurobiology. The link to the google hangout is here: https://meet.google.com/mzy-titj-yrq Last week we had a little chat at the start, but mainly had cameras and mic's off so that it was easier to hear the presenter, so we'll go for that method again this time.

Hi everyone I hope everyone is doing OK? As you might expect, we don't really have much YNiC news for you these days! If you experience any issues with the remote desktop that cannot be resolved by the troubleshooting section on the wiki ( https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/RemoteDesktop), please send us a ticket to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk and include screenshots and details of the error. For any other assistance, please make sure you also use the support ticket system, rather than an individual's email address, so we can make sure messages don't get missed. We had a great Journal Club last Thursday, presented by Theo, and we hope to keep these going. Please let me know if there is a paper you find interesting and would like to present. This is the link to the google hangout, for Thursdays at 4pm: https://meet.google.com/mzy-titj-yrq . We haven't got a paper for this week yet but I'll keep you posted.

Hi everyone For those that are interested, we are starting a YNiC Journal Club on Thursday's at 4pm during this period of social distancing and isolation. This week, Theo has selected the following paper: Andrew Quinn et al (2018) Task-Evoked Dynamic Network Analysis Through Hidden Markov Modeling https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2018.00603/full This event link should (hopefully) show you a link for joining a 'hangout', so follow that at 4pm on Thursday if you'd like to join us for a chat about the paper (or just for some social interaction!). Unfortunately we can't provide refreshments for this virtual event, but feel free to bring your own along. All the best, Lauren Title: YNiC Journal Club When: Thu 26 Mar 2020 16:00 – 17:00 United Kingdom Time Joining info: Join Hangouts Meet https://meet.google.com/mzy-titj-yrq Who: * Lauren Welbourne- creator

This Week at YNiC
by Lauren Welbourne 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Hi everyone I hope everyone is managing OK with social distancing and the various challenges that it creates. Joe and Mark have been working hard to increase our remote desktop capacity for users - we had a few teething issues which have been mostly resolved. If you haven't yet connected to the remote desktop please make sure you read the instructions here https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/RemoteDesktop, and ensure you are first connected to the University VPN before connecting to the YNiC remote desktop; note that we have extended access to all users now. As usual, if you are experiencing any issues with the remote desktop that cannot be resolved by the troubleshooting section in the above page, please send us a ticket to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk and include screenshots and details of the errors you are experiencing. Please be reminded that YNiC is closed to users, and projects that have been impacted by the cancelled scans should submit a scan reimbursement form to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, if they haven't already done so (you can find this form at the bottom of this page https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/forms ). YNiC staff are working from home but we are doing a daily check-in of the centre, as well as essential maintenance work on the scanners twice a week. Stay safe everyone, and wash your hands. :-) All the best Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY

Update to remote access
by Antony Morland 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Dear all, We have identified an issue with the latest X2Go remote desktop client which prevents people from connecting to their remote sessions. To work around this issue, you will need to use a specific version of the client rather than the latest one. We have updated the wiki page with details for new users (https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/RemoteDesktop) For existing users, you can check which version of the X2Go client you have by going to Help -> About X2Go Client. The version number will be listed there as 4.x.y.z. If you do not have 4.1.2.0 or 4.1.2.1, please follow the re-install instructions below. * On Windows, find "Add or Remove Programs" in System settings, find "X2go Client for Windows" and choose Uninstall * On Mac, right click on the X2goClient application and "Move to Trash" Now re-install the correct version. For Windows, this is 4.1.2.0 and for Mac this is 4.1.2.1. We have included direct links below, but you can also navigate to https://code.x2go.org/releases and then find the correct version from there. If using a Mac, please ensure to get the right version for your Mac OS version. * Windows: https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.1.2.0-201… * Mac 10.13 or later: https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient/main/4.1.2.1/x2gocl… * Mac 10.11 or 10.12: https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient/main/4.1.2.1/x2gocl… * Mac 10.9 or 10.10: https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient/main/4.1.2.1/x2gocl… Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks, -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Fwd: Update
by Antony Morland 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Dear All, The email below was sent earlier today by acting HoD of the Department of Psychology, Tim Andrews. We will adopt the recommendation not to conduct research at YNiC because of the face-to-face contact with volunteer participants. All scans booked tomorrow and onwards will not be performed. We have been in touch with all teams that have bookings today. I know this is frustrating, but there is no choice in this matter given the government advice concerning non-essential contact, as Tim rightly outlined in his message. Scans booked will receive reimbursement of time as per policy. If you are affected please complete the scan reimbursement form available of the ynic website and return it to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk. We will be back in touch when we have any updates about when scanning can resume. In the meantime, remote access has been extended to all users to allow work to be done at home. Best wishes Tony ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tim Andrews <timothy.andrews(a)york.ac.uk> Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2020 at 12:57 Subject: Update To: All Staff and PhD Students <all-psyc-group(a)york.ac.uk> Hello everyone, I am sure that you are all concerned about recent events. I don't have any additional recommendations except to heed the advice that we are getting from government and university. There has been a lot of hard work going on in the university to update students and staff about how to deal with the current issues, but also to plan for the future. I would just like to update you on work going on in the department. We have been working hard to make sure that key staff have remote access, so we can continue with current assessments. There is a lot of ongoing work to plan for online teaching and assessment next term. Additional provision has also been provided by servers in YNiC, so staff can work remotely. I would like to thank all the people who have been working hard on this. I have consulted with colleagues in the department about face-to-face testing of participants. Given that the advice is to avoid all unnecessary social contact, we recommend stopping face-to-face testing for the foreseeable future. We are looking into how we can help with data collection by moving to online testing. We are likely to be encouraged to work at home where possible in the near future. Please take the time to make sure that you have all you need for this. We may need to think imaginatively about how we can make best use of our time given the circumstances. Finally, please take care of yourself and each other. Also, take the time to look out for vulnerable people in the community. It is going to be a very worrying time for them. However, let's hope that things will get better soon.

Remote access
by Antony Morland 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Dear all, Due to recent events, we are aware that more staff and students will be needing to work remotely than is usually the case. To enable everyone who uses YNiC to work in as flexible a way as possible at this time, we have temporarily added more resource to our remote desktop setup and removed the restrictions which normally limit its use to those at PhD level and above. For those (including students) who have not used the remote desktop setup before, you will need to take the following steps: 1. Register for and set up access to the University VPN https://www.york.ac.uk/it-services/services/vpn (if you are a YNiC user who does not have a UoY account, please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk and we will make alternate arrangements) 2. Set up the X2Go remote desktop application. We have a comprehensive guide here: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/RemoteDesktop Note that you will need to log in to the YNiC website in order to read the documentation (see the link at the top right of the website). 3. When you wish to connect to the remote desktop service, you will need to connect to the University VPN and only then connect to the remote desktop service. We have set up a single page for users with information about remote working at YNiC. This page is at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/RemoteWorking We would ask that support issues are filed in the usual way, by emailing support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk. In addition, staff will be monitoring the "Town Square" channel on the YNiC Discuss server at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/discuss We will continue to monitor performance of the remote systems over the next few days and will do our best to match the service capacity with the demand from staff and students. -- Antony Morland, PhD.

This Week at YNiC
by Lauren Welbourne 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

Good afternoon everyone I mainly have reminders and updates for you today, but I also wanted to let users know that a couple of places have become available on a group *First Aid training course* this Thursday 5th March, which a number of the YNiC staff are attending (don't worry, noone's training expires before the 5th!). Places will be filled on a first-come first-served basis (I can pass on details for payment later), and it would be beneficial for any users that intend to begin operator training in the coming months. Please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to reserve one of the remaining places. *Booking system changes:* The updates to the booking system have now been made; when making bookings you will see that you need to specify both the 'Operator' (must be Level 1 or above) and the 'Co-Operator' (must be a Level 0 or above) when you book. All other functionality for booking scans remains the same. Note that this update does *not* reflect any changes in policy or procedure; as before, two operators must be present at all times in the control room while a participant is being scanned (one or both of the operators must be a Level 1 or above). If you are booking in an operator covered slot, you can specify whether you will need both/one/none of the YNiC operators. If you are using your own operators, then the 'Operator' must be a Level 1 or above who is listed on the project as an operator, and the 'Co-Operator' can be anyone that is listed on the project as a co-investigator and has current Level 0 (or above) status (the project PI can add individuals as co-investigators via PTS https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/pts/, but to make a co-investigator a listed Level 1 operator on a project the PI will need to request this via a support ticket). As with the previous system, once the booking has been made you won't be able to amend the operators, so if any changes need to be made you must email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to request amendments. We will update the wiki information shortly, but if you experience any problems or have any questions please do let us know at support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk. *Closure:* Over the Easter period will have a 'soft closure' from *Thursday 2nd April until Friday 17th April*. Over this period there will be no operator cover provided and no user support, but users are still welcome to use open plan and book the scanners in the non-operator covered slots. *First Aid Training* As previously communicated, as of this month any operator without a valid First Aid Certificate on record will not be able to act as an operator on any scan *until the training certificate is received by YNiC*. Once received, please bring the certificate to reception to be copied and scanned, and your account will be updated. *Open Plan Teaching:* Please be reminded that teaching will take place in YNiC open plan at 12-4pm this Tuesday and Friday. During these times, the area will be closed to anybody not involved in the teaching. *Level 0 operator Training:* Our next scheduled Level 0 training session will take place after the closure on Wednesday* 22nd April at 9:30am*. Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal submitted to YNiC. All users that wish to be operator trained must have First Aid training. Please ensure that this has been completed, or is booked in, before contacting us to arrange training. Email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any questions or wish to book on to this session, and include which scanner you wish to be trained on. Please note that places are limited and are allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Training must be booked at least a week before the session date, in order to reserve the scanner booking. *YNiC User Inductions:* If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our next induction date will be Wednesday 18th March at 10am. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. Hope you have a great week!

This Week at YNiC
by Lauren Welbourne 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Good afternoon everyone, We have some important information for you today (honestly!). *Closure:* Over the Easter period will have a 'soft closure' from *Thursday 2nd April until Friday 17th April*. Over this period there will be no operator cover provided and no user support, but users are still welcome to use open plan and book the scanners in the non-operator covered slots. Please note that during this period there may be days when there is no Level 3 operator available for authorising contraindications for scanning, therefore it is important that participants are screened well in advance of the scan to identify contraindications and obtain the necessary signature(s). *Booking system changes:* We are updating the booking system; changes will come into effect from next Monday 2nd March. The main change you will see on the Project Tracking System when booking scans, is that there will be an additional operator dropdown list so that you can select the second operator. If you are booking in operator-covered slots you can select one or both operators as YNiC operators (or neither if you don't require any YNiC operators). If you are using your own operators, then the 'primary operator' must be a Level 1 or above who is listed on the project as an operator, and the second operator can be anyone that is listed on the project and has current Level 0 (or above) status (the project PI can add individuals to projects via PTS https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/pts/). As with the previous system, once the booking has been made you won't be able to amend the operators, so if any changes need to be made you must email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to request amendments. We will update the wiki information shortly, but if you experience any problems or have any questions please do let us know at support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk. All other functionality for booking scans remains the same. *Reminder - First Aid Training:* All operators must attend an 'Emergency First Aid at Work' one-day training course. Courses should be organised by the project PI with a relevant training provider (e.g. St Johns Ambulance, Red Cross); these providers can also run group training sessions (8 or more people) on-site, so labs may wish to coordinate their operators to attend training on the same day, at a location of your choice. *We will be enforcing this requirement from 1st March 2020*. Any operator (including L0) who does not have a valid First Aid Certificate will not be permitted to act as an operator until YNiC has the certificate on file. *Project Presentation:* This week we have a project presentation from Gabriela Ravela on Thursday 27th Feb at 4pm in YNiC open plan, titled: "Neural correlates of face perception in people with developmental prosopagnosia". Talks are followed by refreshments. We hope to see you there! For a list of the upcoming Thursday sessions, please visit https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/events/thursday-sessions. *Open Plan Teaching:* Please be reminded that teaching will take place in YNiC open plan at 12-4pm this Friday. During these times, the area will be closed to anybody not involved in the teaching. *Level 0 operator Training:* Our March training date is now full, so the next scheduled Level 0 training session will take place after the closure on Wednesday* 22nd April at 9:30am*. Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal submitted to YNiC. Please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any questions or wish to book on to this session, and include which scanner you wish to be trained on. Please note that places are limited and are allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Training must be booked at least a week before the session date, in order to reserve the scanner booking. *YNiC User Inductions:* If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our next induction date will be Wednesday 26th February at 10am. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. Hope you have a great week!

Conference announcement and encouragement below. Best wishes Tony ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Dr N.E. Adams <nea26(a)cam.ac.uk> Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2020 at 13:52 Subject: MEGUK 2020 To: Antony Morland <antony.morland(a)york.ac.uk> Dear Tony I just thought I'd drop you a line about MEGUK 2020 (6th-7th Apr), as we are currently in the call-for-abstracts phase. This year's conference in Cambridge is designed to be more for the students benefit, but I wanted to make sure that all the wonderful PIs at York who are interested in MEG were aware of the conference, and letting their postdocs and students know about it. Students are encouraged to submit poster and talk abstracts (there are, of course, poster prizes). It's a great place to showcase what they are working on to a friendly community of peers. If you would like to filter these links across to them, I'd be much obliged: https://meguk.ac.uk/events/meguk-2020-in-cambridge/ http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/conferences/meguk2020/ All the Best Tallie -- Antony Morland, PhD.
