YNiC seminar TODAY

29 Apr '10

Jodie Davies-Thompson will give a talk at 4 pm in YNiC open plan on "The localization and functional connectivity of face-selective regions in the human brain". Abstract: "This talk will outline a new method for localizing face-selective regions of interest. Face-selective regions are typically defined by contrasting the response to a face with the response to a control stimulus. However, many different control stimuli are possible. So, the choice of control stimulus could influence the location and extent of the face-selective regions. Our aim was to define face-selective regions in visual and non-visual regions of the brain using a localiser paradigm that minimises potential confounds . Finally, we have developed a method for showing the functional connectivity between face-selective regions." Everyone is welcome to attend.

FYI *Four positions at the NYU Neuroscience of Language Lab (NeLLab)* *1. Lab Manager/RA * Full-time Lab Manager position at the NYU Neurolinguistics Laboratory, with some responsibilities extending to the NYU Abu Dhabi Neuroscience of Language Laboratory. BA/BS or MA/MS in a cognitive science-related discipline (psychology, linguistics, etc.) or computer science is required. The lab manager will be involved in all stages of execution and analysis of MEG/EEG experiments on language processing. Previous experience with MEG or some other cognitive neuroscience method is highly preferred. A background in statistics and some programming ability (especially Matlab) are essential. Preferred start date is July 2010, but this is negotiable. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience. To apply, please email CV and names of references to Prof. Liina Pylkkänen (liina.pylkkanenheight=2"nyu.edu). height=" *2. RA * Full-time NSF-funded research assistant for Cognitive Neuroscience of Language projects at the KIT/NYU MEG Lab. BA/BS in cognitive science-related discipline (psychology, linguistics, etc.) or computer science. Programming and/or statistics experience a plus. RA would help analyze data from MEG and joint MEG/fMRI experiments and help design and program additional experiments. For 2010-11, research will concentrate on lexical access and morphological decomposition in auditory and visual word perception. Preferred start date is July 2010, but this is negotiable. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience. To apply, please email CV and names of references to Prof. Alec Marantz (marantzheight=2"nyu.edu). height=" *3. Postdoctoral Position: Cognitive Neuroscientist * 1-year, potentially renewable post-doctoral position in the cognitive neuroscience of language for the NYU Abu Dhabi Neuroscience of Language Laboratory. The researcher will have had experience with evoked response experiments using either MEG or EEG, but preferably both. The main responsibility of the researcher will be to explore the appropriate ways to utilize participant populations of varied linguistic and educational backgrounds to address questions about linguistic universals and language-specific effects. Working with Arabic and East Asian speakers requires nuanced understanding of the linguistic situation on the ground as well as a search for necessary corpus resources and area experts on the languages and language-particular psycholinguistics. A researcher with cross-linguistic experimental experience would be ideal for the job, and someone from either the Gulf area or India would be especially suited for this project. To apply, please send CV, names of three references and a brief statement of research interests and goals to linguistics.neurolabheight=2"nyu.edu. height=" *4. Postdoctoral Position: Computational Researcher * 1-year, potentially renewable post-doctoral position in computational research for the NYU Abu Dhabi Neuroscience of Language Laboratory. The successful applicant will have had an extensive background in quantitative analysis, statistics, and/or electrophysiological signal processing. The researcher will be responsible for the laboratory's data processing pipeline, from experimental design through final data analysis, and will create and justify statistical tools for neurolinguistic experiments with MEG/EEG data. Though the researcher is expected to work with source localization packages such as MNE and BESA, he/she will be most concerned with issues essentially statistical in nature, e.g. the covariance of stimulus variables, the way to treat data across subjects, the problem of multiple comparisons in whole-brain and whole-epoch analyses, etc. To apply, please send CV, names of three references and a brief statement of research interests and goals to linguistics.neurolabheight=2" nyu.edu.

update on MEG
by Gary Green 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

I am pleased to report that the MEG system is currently working well. We had had some problems with data acquisition which was due to an intermittent connection problem. This problem is, we think, now resolved. We have run the system for two weeks without any recurrence of the problem. If you are wanting to acquire MEG data, now is probably the time to so. -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg tel. +44 (0) 1904 435349 PA (Sara Narayan) +44 (0) 1904 435329 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004

Hi, Some small software updates were pushed out to the YNiC systems this afternoon: Visualization: -------------- * mricron was added to all machines. Python related: --------------- * python-pymc and python-h5py were added to the supported modules list. * winpdb (a debugging tool) was added to the system. Matlab: ------- * Matlab 7.10 (2010a) was added to the system but has *not* been made the default (which remains at 7.8). We encourage people to try out the new release which will be made the default (unless problems are encountered) in September as explained at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/FAQ/Misc/SupportedVersions#Matlab All toolboxes which are available in 7.8 should also be available in 7.10. * cbinifti and mlpipe (from http://www.pc.rhul.ac.uk/staff/J.Larsson/software.html ) have been made available to make dealing with nifti files in Matlab simpler. As usual, we rely on users to let us know if they encounter any issues, so if you do, please email it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk . Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

YNiC seminar TODAY
by rem 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

Dear Users Today (4-5 pm in YNiC open plan), there will be a YNiC project proposal given by Matt Speed (Department of Electronics) on imaging the vocal tract. Title: MRI capture of the vocal tract. Abstract: Acoustic modelling research in the AudioLab in the Department of Electronics focuses on the synthesis of “natural” human voice through the computer simulation of the acoustic properties of the vocal tract. This study aims to generate accurate 3D acoustic models of the vocal tract based on MRI scans of trained speakers/singers for particular phonemes/vowel-based utterances. From this data, new detailed 3D models of the vocal tract will be produced, leading to more accurate simulation of its acoustic characteristics, and the potential for new developments in the field of speech synthesis. A particular challenge is the recording of the audio speech signal during the MRI capturing process, with a view to providing a benchmark against which sound synthesised using the resulting 3D acoustic model can be compared. The preferred approach has not yet been determined, but will be discussed during the project presentation (18th March). Additionally we hope to use our same subjects to capture different styles of singing with a view to identifying and characterising “ringing” qualities of vocal sounds. This is a secondary study that we will brief our subjects on and carry out if time is remaining once appropriate source data for our primary study has been obtained. Everyone is welcome to attend.

MEG
by Gary Green 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Dear ynic-users I am sorry to tell you that MEG is down. We have a new problem with data acquisition. Until we can establish the cause of the problem, we have to, reluctantly, block all bookings on the scanner. This is because the data acquisition is just too unreliable. As soon as we understand what is causing this problem I will let you know.
