Software updates at YNiC
by Mark Hymers 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Dear all, Some changes and updates to supported software are being made this evening at YNiC. Information about these changes can be found at https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/FAQ/Misc/ChangeLog A brief summary follows: These changes should be mainly user invisible (except for those who build their own software from source which uses VTK, please contact me for help): * VTK and the python bindings are being updated from 5.0 to 5.4 * Various libraries and FSLView have been updated to be built against VTK 5.4 New software: * pygame 1.8.1, pyglet and psychopy 1.51 have been added to the image * Freesurfer dependencies: libvxl1.13, ebtks 1.6.2, kwwidgets 1.0.0 and teem 1.10 have been added to the image * n3 1.11.0 (from MNI) and libmni-perl have been added to the image (mainly as freesurfer dependencies but some people may have other uses for them) * Slicer 3.4.0 has been added to the image (http://www.slicer.org/) * Freesurfer 4.5 has been added to the image but is not fully tested. Please contact me before using this for instructions. There will be some testing work performed in the next week or so and Liat, Padraig, Tom and myself have discussed running a training session once we're sure it's working. * ANTS (http://www.picsl.upenn.edu/ANTS/) has been installed. Please see https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/FAQ/Misc/ANTS for notes on YNiC specific things for this software. * Nutmeg 3.1 has been added to the system (using the ynicInit system in Matlab; please see https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/FAQ/Matlab/ExtraToolboxes ) As ever, please let me know if you see anything problematic.

update on status of MEG
by rem 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Dear Users As many of you will know, the MEG scanner underwent preventative maintenance earlier this month. We are happy to report that this work was carried out successfully. Due to the re-cooling of the sensors and some calibration work the scanner is working well. The noise floor has improved considerably. However, one of the inherent dangers of this thermal cycling is the potential loss of sensors. Until now we had been very fortunate in that we had not lost any channels but this is no longer the case. Users should take note of the following: 1) "Dead" channels There are 3 channels in the MEG scanner that do not work. These channels are A55, A84 and A237. There had recently been suspicion about the quality of the data from channel 237 and during the maintenance it was confirmed that this channel is not working correctly. On a more positive note this is an electronics problem and will be solved once our new MEG electronics are in place. For now, anyone collecting new MEG data should exclude channels A55, A84 and A237 from their analyses. There will be some minor changes to some YNiC software to allow for channel exclusions. 2) REI board error (ONLY for MEG operators) Although currently stable, we are aware of a problem with one of the electronics boards (the REI board). MEG operators will know when the REI board is not working because of an error message that appears in the ACP window on the Sun work station. For this reason the ACP, DCP, AVP and VIP windows must be open when you are acquiring MEG data so that any problems with the MEG scanner can be tracked. If any of these windows are not open, they can be opened from the "acquisition setup" window in the database on the Sun workstation. Click on the "utilities" menu and from here open the relevant window/s. Please record any faults in the "MEG error log book" (left-hand side of the Sun machine). In the event of an REI board error, please contact a member of YNiC staff. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions about these matters. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

I've been asked to forward this on to all the YNiC users by Ramon, who did his Cognitive Neuroscience masters here a couple of years ago and is now working in a research hospital in Barcelona. As part of this year's HBM, which will be held in Barcelona this year in June (http://www.humanbrainmapping.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=1), Ramon is involved in the organisation of a congress on 'The Default Mode Network and other intrinsic networks in the brain'. He would like to invite anyone from York who's interested along to the Congress, which takes place just before HBM on the 4th and 5th of June. The website is below. http://www.defaultmodenetwork.com/index.html If anyone is interested and would like to be put in touch with Ramon, let me know. -- Chris Racey PhD Candidate Department of Psychology, University of York, York, YO10 5DD, UK +44(0)7791 851542

FYI ------------------------------------- ESRC STUDENTSHIPS FOR MRes+PhD/PhD: UCL Centre for Human Communication DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: Friday 29th January 2010 The UCL Centre for Human Communication (CHC) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded two quota ESRC studentships for the academic year commencing September 2010 and is additionally able to nominate applications for an ESRC open competition studentship. ESRC studentships provide up to four years full funding for postgraduate training. They cover tuition fees and include a maintenance grant. The CHC will consider applicants for 1+3 quota and open studentships for the MRes in Speech, Language and Cognition followed by PhD research within the CHC group. Information about the MRes can be found at http://tinyurl.com/yb9p5d2 We will also consider applicants who have completed relevant Masters-level training for a 3 year PhD studentship within the CHC. The CHC is a virtual centre that exists to foster interaction amongst UCL staff who are involved in research on human language and communication. Research spans an unusual range of disciplines, from those traditionally considered to lie in the humanities and social sciences, to those of a more scientific, engineering and medical aspect. Areas studied include, among others: * basic aspects of hearing, speech and language, both in the adult and the developing child; * linguistic theory concerning syntax, phonology and pragmatics; * speech production and speech perception; * acquisition of first and later-learned languages; * sign languages; * developmental language disorders like stuttering, dyslexia and specific language impairment; * acquired language disorders like aphasia and dysarthria; * hearing impairments and their remediation through training and prostheses (hearing aids and cochlear implants); * speech recognition and speech synthesis by computer. More information about the CHC can be found at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/chc/ Applicants should send a CV, covering letter and the names and email addresses of two referees to Dr Bronwen Evans at bronwen.evans(a)ucl.ac.uk. The covering letter should include an outline of the applicant's principal research interests. Applications for the 3 year PhD studentships only must also outline a plan of the intended research. Ideally, this plan should have been discussed with a potential supervisor based at UCL. Staff details can be found at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/psychlangsci/staff All applications are subject to the ESRC’s nationality and residency restrictions and applicants are also asked to indicate in their submission that they meet these criteria. Information about these are available in the ESRC's Postgraduate Funding Guide, which applicants are strongly advised to consult when completing their application. This can be downloaded at http://tinyurl.com/y8tm2qa Deadline: Friday 29th January 2009. Applications received after this date will still be considered for admission but will be too late to be considered for the ESRC quota studentship. ----------------------------- Dr Bronwen G.
