Hello,
A quick update to let you know when our next training and induction
sessions are scheduled, and how to apply to give a YNiC seminar.
*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
will be on *Monday the 29th of April at 10:00*. Please ask them to contact
support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up.
*Level 0 operator training*
*The next L0 training session will be held on Thursday the 25th of April,
10:00-12:00. * 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. Please note that sessions are
limited to 4 trainees, which will be 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 Seminar*
*There will be no YNiC seminar next Wednesday the 10th of April.*
If you would like to give a talk this semester, please get in touch, there
are no specific requirements; presentations can include previously
collected data, new data, pilot data and/or study plans and ideas. This is
a great way to get feedback in a relaxed and friendly environment. Please
message support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk.

Greetings fellow cognoscenti!
This is a reminder that next week (Friday 22rd Mar, 11.30am, YNiC) we have
our next "Cogs" meeting. Alex Pike will be leading the session on "Can we
use multimodal MRI and clinical data to predict treatment response in major
depressive disorder?
<https://uniofyork.padlet.org/tomhartley/cogs-7svj1mgvsc2jq2yp/wish/29186935…>".
She'll discuss a recent paper that suggests the answer may be yes
<https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.20230206>, in the
context of a recent study indicating that there are difficulties with the
approach <https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.20230206>.
This session may be of interest to colleagues beyond the YNiC mailing list,
so feel free to forward it to those you think might like to come along.
Cogs meetings are a format designed to generate informal and lively
discussion about topics that excite and inspire us. It's open to
undergrads, academics, masters students, postdocs, research staff, PhD
students, YNiC staff and basically anyone with an interest in cognitive
neuroscience at the University of York.
If you'd like to present a session, if you have ideas for topics that would
be good to hear about , or if you want to find out what others are
suggesting please take a look at the discussion board, or email us.
*discussion board: *

Hi All,
Good news!
The MRI scanner has been repaired, quality assurance and stability checks
have been carried out, and the scanner is ready to continue scanning. All
existing bookings should go ahead.
Thank you all for your patience while we were getting this sorted, and
please get in touch if you have any questions.
Cheers,

Dear all,
We like to have posters in the YNiC open plan area that represent the
diversity of research we conduct at YNiC. If you have any recent posters
you would be happy to have displayed, please bring them in and give them
to one of the YNiC staff. That way we can keep things a bit more up to date!
Best wishes,
Aidan

Friday's session will be led by Adam Curtis who'll be talking about *The
Temporal Dynamics of Schema-mediated Memory Processing.*
If you'd like to present a Cogs session, if you have ideas for topics that
would be good to hear about , or if you want to find out what others are

expect the work to take no more that 30 minutes. This will affect all IT

Dear all,
As mentioned in the recent Psychology staff meeting, we have now made an
office in YNiC available for everyone to use. There are 3 desks in the
office, 2 with YNiC desktop PCs and one is a hot desk with a single
USB-C plugin. The office is the first one on the left as you come into
the open plan area in YNiC. If you would like to spend more time in YNiC
but want a bit more privacy than the open plan area allows for, then
this is the space for you!
For now the room isn't bookable. We will see how the room is used and by
whom over the coming months and can reassess whether it should be a
bookable space in the future. The main message is, come spend some time
in YNiC and talk to us about your awesome research plans!
Best wishes,
Aidan

Hi All,
The Siemens scanner has developed a serious fault this afternoon, and it is
not currently operational. An engineer has inspected the system and
diagnosed the issue, but unfortunately the repair will take some time. We
have been advised that the scanner will not be functional next week (26/2 -
1/3).
Please ensure that you contact all the participants that you have scheduled
to scan next week, to let them know that their scan sessions will have to
be cancelled and rescheduled for a later date. We apologise for the
substantial disruption, unfortunately this is an age-related fault that
could not be prevented.
We will do everything we can to get the scanner up and running as soon as
possible, and we will keep you updated as soon as we know when it will be
available again.
Best Wishes,
Rich

Hi Everyone,
We have our YNiC seminar series starting again tomorrow at 1pm. *Dr Richard
Aveyard *will be presenting an introduction to the Brain Imaging Data
Structure (BIDS)*.*
*The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) is becoming the standard format
for organizing and sharing neuroimaging data. It has been adopted by a
large number of research groups for internal use, as well as the OpenNeuro,
SchizConnect, Developing Human Connectome Project, and FCP-INDI databases.
This seminar will give a beginner's introduction to BIDS, and how it can be
combined with containerized computing.*
We really hope to see everyone at YNiC! If you are unable to attend the
talk in person, you can catch it on zoom using the following link:

Hello
I'm sending out the *YNiC Computing Facilities Survey* again as some
people said they didn't receive it. It would be good to get some more
responses about how you currently use YNiC's computing facilities. So
apologies if you're seeing this again.
https://forms.gle/JN3GnZKXonVmWGWz6
I'd also like to promote the new YNiC wiki we have setup. It's available
here, https://wiki.pages.ynic.york.ac.uk/ and hopefully is a bit easier
to navigate and find things. The old one is mostly out of date and will
be decommissioned soon.

Hi All,
The neuroimagoing centre will be closed to researchers between Wednesday
the 20th of December, and Monday the 1st of December, inclusive.
IT work will be taking place on the 20th of December, so access to YNiC IT
systems (including the remote desktops) will be unavailable that day, but
should be available otherwise.
Due to limited staff availability, there will be no operator cover provided
2nd - 5th of January, inclusive, but the centre will be open for
researchers to use the open-plan computing facilities and to run their own
scans.
Please get in touch if you anticipate this causing acute problems.
Cheers,

Hello,
We're looking for speakers for our YNiC seminar next semester. Everybody is
welcome to present, and presentations can include previously collected
data, new data, pilot data, study plans/ideas, discussions about
theoretical/technical advances or anything else you think others would be
interested in. These usually take place on Wednesdays at 4pm (but we can be
flexible if this time doesn't suit you).
If you don't currently use YNiC, but would like to, this would be a great
opportunity to discuss your area of research and gain inspiration for
future neuroimaging endeavours.
If you are interested, please get in touch!
