YNiC changes reminder
by Aidan Horner 20 May '24

20 May '24

Dear all, We wanted to email everyone to remind people of one of the key changes we have made at YNiC recently, and the rationale for doing this. We used to always provide two YNiC staff as operators during any bookable "operator covered hours". Some labs provided at least one level 0 operator, which meant that sometimes YNiC only needed to provide one operator but the default was always two operators unless otherwise arranged. This resulted in YNiC staff time being inefficiently used, for example they would learn last minute that they weren't required for a specific scan. We have now moved to a system where the default assumption is that you provide a level 0 operator during any bookable "operator covered hours". We have trained as many people as possible since this change, supporting labs when needed to provide this cover. This has allowed us to increase the number of bookable hours and provide YNiC staff with more certainty in relation to when they are scanning. *Critically, we do not want these changes to prevent people from using YNiC.* One of the key reasons for making this change is that it frees up resource to allow us to support those who need it. Instead of providing support for labs that are able to support themselves, we can now use YNiC resources in a more effective, efficient, and equitable manner. *The key point here is that if you want to use YNiC facilities and need support, we are here to help.* If that means providing two YNiC staff during scanning then that is possible. Come talk to us and we will do whatever we can to get your project up and running - we want YNiC used more often by a more diverse set of researchers. As always, get in touch with either me, Beth, or Andre if you have any questions. Best wishes, Aidan & Beth -- *I work 0.8FTE and my working days are Monday-Wednesday and Friday* =========================================================== Dr Aidan J Horner Associate Professor in Psychology & Cognitive Neuroscience Co-Director York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC) Department of Psychology University of York York YO10 5DD https://www.aidanhorner.org/ ===========================================================

(Reposting to ynic-users so apologies if you are seeing this again.) Hello Everyone, Tomorrow *Dr Anna Kuppuswamy* from the University of Leeds will be giving a YNiC seminar titled *"Post-stroke fatigue - a multi-dimensional problem or a cluster of disorders?

A case for phenotyping post-stroke fatigue *Abstract: *The last decade has seen a considerable increase in scientific interest in poststroke fatigue resulting in studies addressing both the pathophysiology and therapeutic strategies for reduction of poststroke fatigue. Of the many emerging concepts, one that urgently needs to be addressed is identifying clusters/subtypes/phenotypes of poststroke fatigue. In this talk, I will present a case for three potential phenotypes, discuss evidence in support of the phenotypes and a proposal for multidimensional phenotyping as an essential step towards personalised interventions for post-stroke fatigue.

Hi everyone, Next week's Cogs meeting (Friday 19th April, 11.30am, YNiC) is on "Learning in the Sleeping Brain" and is led by Vanessa Keller. The session will focus on this recent paper <https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints/89601#tab-content>, including some potentially exciting advances alongside some potentially less convincing claims. Just the kind of thing we love to hear about and discuss! Cogs meetings are 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. We have another slot coming up on Friday 3rd May (although it's not yet in the departmental calendar) - no topic or speaker has been firmly identified yet, so if you are very keen to present please get in touch. After that we will start looking for presenters and topics for next semester - which seems a long way off. We look to have a mix of people at different career stages, from different labs and with different interests, so wherever you fit in, you'll fit in! *discussion board: * *https://cogs.ynic.york.ac.uk/ <https://cogs.ynic.york.ac.uk/>* *email the organizers (Tom Hartley, Beth Jefferies) by email at cogs(a)ynic.york.ac.uk <cogs(a)ynic.york.ac.uk>*.

Office space now available
by Aidan Horner 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

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!

MRI scan cancellations
by Richard Aveyard 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

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 -- Dr Richard Aveyard Senior Technical Specialist York NeuroImaging Centre University of York, UK

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: https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/96762553290?pwd=UEluT1lMd3V5azY5YzNmWkJCV1VTdz… <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://york-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/96762553290?pwd%3…> . We look forward to seeing you tomorrow! Many thanks, Jennifer -- Jennifer Ashton, PhD Senior Research Technician York Neuroimaging Centre Working days: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
