Reminder: MEG research group meeting
by Markus van Ackeren 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Dear all, just a quick reminder for the MEG research group meeting today, at 3.30pm in C108 (Department of Psychology). Michael Simpson will tell us about 'The Difference Stability Index (DSI): Resolving previously irreconcilable differences in your data'. An analysis metric that provides some depth and stability to the relationships in your MEG data which previously appeared to be only superficial. This talk will help to orientate you to this metric, and may adapt you to a new way of thinking about evoked response analyses. Best, Markus -- Markus J. van Ackeren PhD Student Department of Psychology University of York YO10 5DD, UK Email: mjva500(a)york.ac.uk

MEG meeting: time changed!!
by Markus van Ackeren 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

Dear all, Due to another event in the Department that clashes with the MEG research group meeting, I shifted the time of the MEG meeting to 3.30pm. The date and place have not changed (Monday, 28th July in C108). I apologise for the late notice and any inconvenience this might cause. I accidentally sent this message to a different ynic mailing list, and only just realised my mistake Best, Markus -- Markus J. van Ackeren PhD Student Department of Psychology University of York YO10 5DD, UK Email: mjva500(a)york.ac.uk

Fwd: Job opportunity: Functional MRI (fMRI) Development Team Leader
by Gary Green 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Dear All We currently have a vacancy for the post of "functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) Paradigm Design Team Leader" in the Department of Neuroimaging at the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP). There's a little more "blurb" after my signature, below, but for full details, or to apply, please see: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/depsta/pertra/vacancy/external/apply.php?id=16844241 (Please note that the closing date has recently been extended until 26th August, so don't panic if it looks like you've missed the date on this!). Thanks Gareth _____________ Gareth J Barker, Professor of Magnetic Resonance Physics, King's College London, Institute of Psychiatry, Box 089, DeCrespigny Park, London, SE5 8AF, UK Tel: +44 20 3228 3059 Fax: +44 20 3228 2115 In parallel to its academic and teaching roles, the Department of Neuroimaging runs a Major Research Facility (MRF) which provides Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning services to researchers with King's College London (KCL) and external collaborators. The MRF includes human scanning facilities (based in the Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences (CNS) and the NIHR Wellcome Kings Clinical Research Facility ("CRF")) and pre-clinical imaging in the James Black Centre. The Department's main focus is in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and in particular functional MRI, but it is also involved in Psychological and other Neuroimaging modalities. The post holder will be responsible for the planning, development, implementation and management of the resources needed to implement paradigms for the dynamic neuroimaging studies run within the MRF, and more widely with our national and international collaborators. The successful applicant will be responsible for the day to day operations of the MRF paradigm design team, including developing and implementing policy& procedures. They will also have a "hands on" role in developing - alongside other team members - innovative solutions for presentation of a wide range of stimuli and recording of participants' overt, covert, physiological and other responses. As such, it is expected that they will have significant experience in paradigm design and development, as well as the aptitude to lead and motivate other team members. Operating in a key support role to researchers both within the Institute and the wider MRI community, a professional, approachable and proactive approach is essential.

Fwd: Live streaming of the UCLA/Semel Advanced Imaging Summer program begins 7/21/14
by Gary Green 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

FYI ------------------ On behalf of the course organizers, I am very pleased to announce that the Eighth Annual UCLA/Semel Advanced Neuroimaging Summer Program will be streamed *live beginning at:* *08:30 PDT (15:30 GMT) July 21, 2014 through July 31, 2014* The complete schedule can be found on the *program web site* <http://www.brainmapping.org/NITP/Summer2014.php>, together with slides, exercises and other didactic materials as they become available. There you will also find links to the streaming video, and to our lecture archive, so that you can watch in the comfort of your own time zone. The UCLA Neuroimaging Training Program Summer Course is designed for advanced users, from graduate students to tenured faculty, who have significant experience in research using functional imaging, especially functional MRI. This year's program will cover a broad range of topics including data acquisition, experimental design, fMRI data processing, anatomical imaging, machine learning and others. The course schedule is available now at http://www.brainmapping.org/NITP/Summer2014.php. Each year, the emphasis of the course differs. For the 2014 program we will be paying special attention to ways in which cutting-edge applications of functional MRI, and its related methods, can help answer big questions in neuroscience. Our goal in so doing is to help gain perspective on fMRI's role. As always, we will include extraordinary international faculty, who will present didactics in slides and talks, and who will interact one-on-one with the course attendees. Attendees will design, run and analyze experimental studies directed at unresolved questions in neuroimaging, using the extraordinary research facilities available to the UCLA NeuroImaging Training Program. We hope that you will take advantage of the program. Please share this announcement with your colleagues. --/Mark Cohen/ The UCLA Neuroimaging Training Program is funded by generous awards from the National Institutes of Health, grant numbers R90 DA022768 and T90 DA023422
