Booking MRI scans
by Beth Jefferies 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

Dear users, At the last meeting of the YNiC Science Committee, it was noted that users sometimes book MRI in a way that leaves small gaps between sessions. These periods of time then become unproductive. MRI is really busy so it is important that we make the best use of scanner time. When you book the scanner, please do your utmost to avoid gaps between projects whenever possible. Don't forget, users can come to the YNiC Science Meeting to raise concerns of this kind, to ask questions and to make proposals. The next meeting will take place on 27th April at 2pm, in Psychology room B002. You can also send items for discussion to me in advance (beth.jefferies(a)york.ac.uk). With thanks and best wishes Beth -- Beth Jefferies Department of Psychology, University of York, UK +44 01904 324368

YNiC seminar today
by rem 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Dear Users This afternoon (from 4 pm in B020) Andrew Quinn from the Oxford centre for Human Brain Activity will give a talk on "Directionality and oscillatory dynamics in functional brain networks". Abstract: Electrophysiological data is rich in oscillatory activity. These rhythms exist across many time scales and are known to co-vary with brain states (such as sleep/wake) as well as many cognitive and behavioural factors. Moreover the connectivity between brain regions also shows robust spatial networks across the brain within specific frequency ranges (Brookes et al 2011, de Pasquale et al 2010, Hipp et al 2012). The present work establishes a methodology for estimating the direction of information flow within such networks which is validated on simulations before application to real MEG data. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be available after the seminar. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.
