New approach to clinical scanning
by Antony Morland 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Hello All, We are working on a new way to deliver our clinical services. When possible we are focusing our efforts on scanning on Monday afternoons and into early evening. This will allow us to allocate the required resources for the service in a more efficient way, while also making the scanners free for the rest of the week. It should be noted however that there may be some other occasions during the week when we may have to scan urgent cases. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Understanding operator covered slots
by Andre Gouws 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi all, Users have recently raised a couple of queries about YNIC operator covered slots - and there appears to be some confusion. Please can I clarify the following: 1) Operator covered slots are limited and pre-allocated on each scanner - currently we allocated 12 hours per week on the GE and 18.5 hours on the Siemens. These numbers are subject to periodic review. 2) We will endeavour to populate the database with operator covered slots for 6 weeks into the future to help to provide extra flexibility for fully funded projects (this has not always been possible but should be implemented moving forward) 3) Training does NOT use up pre-allocated YNiC operator covered slots: although it may appear in the database that operator covered slots are used for training, these slots represent times when a YNiC operator is required to attend to perform training, but these slots are in addition to the pre-allocated operator covered slots for research scanning. Please drop me a line if you have any further queries. Thanks, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Today Leah Kelly will present a proposal for her new project "The neural correlate of cognition and visual loss". The talk will be at 4pm and will be followed by refreshments. Hope to see you all there. ... p.s. Not to detract from what I'm sure will be an excellent and interesting presentation by Leah, but just s quick reminder: ** REMINDER - Kalanit Grill-Spector will be giving a seminar at 4pm on Thursday 22 February in B020. Kalanit has made a number of seminal contributions in visual neuroscience over the past 20 years, particularly in the way faces and objects are represented in the brain. I hope you will be able to attend her seminar. ** -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

This week at YNiC
by Antony Morland 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi All, We have a project presentation this week at 4pm, Thursday 1st February. Holly Brown will be talking about 'Exploring connectivity in individuals with visual loss'. Unfortunately, our GE scanner is down at present. A large component in the system has failed and based on previous experience the problem can take a week to fix. We are liaising with the GE engineers and will be in touch with further updates. Tip of the week: When booking the scanners, please enter the participant ID. If you do the appropriate forms will be printed out for your booking, which saves you and the staff at YNiC time. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Hello All, This week's seminar will be allocated to a project presentation: *'The relationship between emotion regulation and mind-wandering'* - Haakon Engen & Jonny Smallwood It will start at 4pm on Thursday, 18th January. Could I remind investigators to have their participants registered 24 hours before any scan appointment. Otherwise, we can't guarantee that we will be able to register the participant in time for their scan appointment. Finally, we are hosting a school visit on the afternoon of 17th between 1230 and 330pm. As part of the visit there will be talks in open plan. We will therefore be closing open plan for a few hours to allow things to run smoothly. Apologies and thanks for your co-operation. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD.

Updates from YNiC
by Antony Morland 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Hello All, Happy New Year from all of us at YNiC! The YNiC Seminar Series will resume next week, 4pm, 18th January, with a talk by Haakon Engen, from the MRC CBU, Cambridge. The title will follow, but Haakon has collaborated with Jonny Smallwood, who is hosting him, so I expect the talk may include some work on resting state fMRI. Over the Christmas break, we successfully upgraded the servers and cluster. The cluster's performance has been improved by some optimization. It is hoped that the work we've done will therefore improve functionality. If you do have any bugs that arise, please get in touch support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Talk today at 4pm
by Antony Morland 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

Hi All, Some more details about the talk today. Koen Haak *Title*: Connectopic mapping with resting state fMRI *Abstract*: How does the organisation of the human brain in terms of its connectivity subserve cognitive and perceptual processes? In this talk, I will give an overview of my work on mapping individualised connection topographies based on the spontaneous brain activity fluctuations that occur when a subject is at rest (resting-state fMRI). I will demonstrate that these connection topographies predict subject-by-subject differences in behaviour and I will discuss how this approach opens up the possibility of studying the neural underpinnings of human perception and cognition across thousands of individuals, from neonates to the elderly, in health and disease.

Dear All, A few things this week: 1. The GE scanner will be down for maintenance of the gradient cooling system on Wednesday and Thursday. 2. There will be a seminar this week explaining the projects we have planned for this academic cycle. This will include details of software and equipment upgrades and updates to services and training. 3. We will be closing for three days - 13/12-15/12 - for server upgrades. 4. There will be no operator cover for the week commencing 18/12. The scanners may be booked if you have an operator, however. Tip of the week: Sometimes you may need to change file permissions to gain access to them. Here is some useful information on how to do it. You will need to log on to the wiki to get to the link. https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/FilePermissions?highlight=%28permi… -- Antony Morland, PhD.

Dear All, This week we have a GE planned maintenance on Thursday. We are also cooling down the MEG scanner to allow new electronics to be installed later this year. This will mean that (a) there may be some disruption because of the movement of equipment and liquid gases and (b) staff time for support may be limited this week because of the nature and extent of the work involved in cooling MEG. Tip of the week: Send all support requests to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.
