MEG at YNiC

by Richard Aveyard

Dear YNiC users, As many of you will know, the MEG system at YNiC suffered a technical failure last year that has prevented us from offering MEG facilities for some time. We have designed and fitted new electronics to rectify the fault, and more recently, we have undertaken testing to establish that we can reliably collect good quality data. This work is now complete, and the MEG system is once again ready to make recordings. As such, we are now offering MEG recording facilities with the proviso that the system has not yet undergone long-term testing, so we are unable to guarantee reliability. However, we can offer the assurance that in the event that recordings are spoiled due to equipment failures, projects will be reimbursed all charges. We are doing everything within our power to ensure the ongoing quality of MEG recordings: the stability of the power supply is constantly being monitored, and regular quality assurance recordings are being performed. As ever, we advise that researchers inspect their data as soon as possible after collection and let us know if they have any concerns. I will contact users who we know are waiting to run MEG projects separately to make arrangements to commence recording, and we welcome any new project applications. If you would like any further information regarding MEG at YNiC, please contact us at support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk . Cheers, Rich -- Dr Richard Aveyard Senior Technical Specialist York NeuroImaging Centre University of York, UK

Health questions and YNiC ethics - important!

by Fiona McNab

Dear All, This is for anyone who uses YNiC now, or who may in the future. As you may know, we have approval to ask certain health-related questions when running studies at YNIC. These are included in Data Protection Impact Assessment, DPIA_183 <https://vcs.ynic.york.ac.uk/ynic-public/forms/-/raw/master/YNICDPIA183.pdf>, and are copied at the bottom of this email. To ask any health-related questions that are not covered by this DPIA, researchers will need to complete their own DPIA and obtain approval from the University Data Protection Officer. We're planning to apply for an amendment to DPIA_183 to include more health-related questions, and submit it on Tuesday 7th Feb. Therefore, please send me any health related questions you would like to add by 3pm on Tuesday 7th February. If they are approved then you won't need to submit your own DPIA for those questions. Best wishes, Fiona - on behalf of the YNiC Research Ethics Committee - Do you have any metallic implants or items including cardiac pacemakers, pacing wires, cochlear implants, metallic aneurysm clips, metallic fragments in the eye, certain types of bio-mechanical implants and fixed dental braces? - Do you have a programmable hydrocephalus shunt? - Have you ever had any operations on your heart, head or spine? - Do you have or have ever had a spinal or other neuro stimulator? - Have you had any surgery which involved the use of medical implants? (e.g., hip or knee replacements, breast or penile implants, or any procedure using metal stents e.g., coronary arteries)? - Do you have a fixed dental brace? - Have you had any surgery in the last 3 months? - Have you, at any time, had an injury to your eye involving metal fragments? - Do you have any shrapnel in your body? - Do you have any medicinal patches? including nicotine, hormone - Do you have epilepsy? / Have you ever had a fit or seizure? - Do you have any diseases/disorders related to the eye or brain? - Do you have an Intra-Uterine Contraceptive Device? - Are you claustrophobic? - Do you have normal or corrected to normal vision? - Do you wear glasses? / If yes, what prescription lenses do you wear? - Do you have normal hearing? - Are you neurologically healthy? / Do you have a history of neurological disease? - Do you have / have you had any neurological problems? - Do you have/ have you had any psychiatric problems (including anxiety or depressive disorders)? - Do you have any history of mental illness? - Do you have / have you had a developmental disorder? - Do you have dyslexia? - Do you have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)? / Do you have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)? - Are you taking certain prescription medications? (we may specify certain medications, for example we might ask “Do you use medications/drugs with potential vascular or central nervous system effects?”) - Are you pregnant or do you believe you could be pregnant? - Have you ever had a Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) / stroke? - Can you tell me when you had your stroke/ most recent stroke? - Do you have any brain damage e.g., Parkinsons, Alzheimers? - Other than your stroke, have you ever experienced any other form of brain damage? Do you think it's possible you have dementia or Parkinson's disease, for instance? Or have you ever suffered a traumatic brain injury? - Do you experience fatigue? - When you had your stroke, can you remember which hospital you were admitted to? If so, do you remember which consultant you were seen by/had contact with? - Did you have any speech and language therapy following your stroke? If so, how often did you have these sessions and for what period of time? Are you taking part in any speech and language therapy at the moment? - Since your stroke do you experience any weakness on one side of your body? If so, which side?" - If possible, it's useful for us to know which areas of your brain were affected by your stroke. Can you remember having an MRI scan while in hospital following your stroke? If so, do you remember which hospital this scan took place at? Would you be happy for us to try and obtain some images of this scan from the hospital? If so, we can submit a request together with you, and can make sure you have access to these images as well if that's something you'd like? - Have you ever been diagnosed with any form of sleep disorder? - Have you ever been diagnosed with any form of hormonal disorder? - Are you a smoker? *If the following questions are needed, the participant will be asked to tick one box to confirm that all the statements they are given are true. They will not be asked to answer these questions separately.* During the past three months, I have not used any illicit drugs for recreational purposes During the past three months, I have not regularly consumed in excess of 14 units of alcohol (equivalent to six pints of beer or seven glasses of wine) per week We may also ask participants to complete: The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).
