Dear Users This Thursday (starting 4.30 pm in YNiC open plan) there will be 2 talks: 1) 2011/12 MSc project outcome Tim Andrews Title "Putting a name to a face - neural correlates of recognition?" 2) Project proposal presentation Nick Barraclough Title: "Visual Adaptation in the Mirror Neuron System" Summary: Visual adaptation occurs at a high level within the temporal lobe where social stimuli such as hand actions are coded. fMR-adaptation studies investigating the existence of a mirror neuron system in humans, however, has been equivocal. It is therefore not clear whether visual adaptation occurs within, or influences the representation of human actions within the mirror neuron system. We propose to use single pulse TMS over motor cortex and measure motor evoked potentials from the contralateral hand. Observation of hand actions results in an increase in MEP magnitude and provides a metric of current mirror neuron system activity. Participants will visually adapt to hand actions during the TMS. We will assess both the psychophysical measure of action adaptation as well as the physiological measure of adaptation in the mirror neuron system. An effect of visual adaptation on the mirror neuron system will be reflected by a change in motor evoked potential magnitude following adaptation. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided afterwards. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

YNiC seminar today

by rem

Dear Users Today (starting 4.30 pm in YNiC open plan) we will resume the YNiC Thursday seminars with a talk on the outcome of an MSc CN 2011/2012 empirical research project. Every Thursday in November different project supervisors will be talking about their MSc research projects from the previous academic year. We encourage the current cohort of MSc CN students to attend these seminars which will provide some insight into previous MSc projects. This week the talk will be given by David Troy, who was an MSc CN student, and the project supervisors, Gary Green and Heidi Baseler. The title of the talk is "Measurements of the signal-to-noise ratio in fMRI". Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided afterwards.

Interesting new fMRI protocol

by Chris Racey

Hi all, I recently read about a new acquisition protocol proposed by some guys at Nijmegen that claims to be able to acquire whole brain volumes fifty times faster than EPI, and it seems to use a standard 3T scanner. Might turn out to be nonsense, but establishing that is a little beyond my powers. Here's a link to the paper. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23097342 Chris

Fwd: MR Physicist/Scientist - Research Assistant Professor - Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior - UNL

by Gary Green

FYI ----------------------- The University of Nebraska - Lincoln is seeking to hire a MR Physicist/Scientist at the Research Assistant professor level to oversee a new state-of-the-art fMRI facility that includes a new Skyra 3T Siemens fMRI scanner within the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. This interdisciplinary Center engages a broad spectrum of investigators and occupies a new 26,000 sq. ft. building. In addition to the Skyra scanner, Center facilities include 12 high-density EEG/ERP and NIRS systems, genetics and endocrine labs, as well as 256-electrode high density EEG/ERP and eye tracker systems integrated with the fMRI that enable simultaneous recordings within test sessions. The Center is adjacent to the University’s Holland Computing Center with supercomputer resources and support. The position will include responsibility for ensuring smooth day-to-day operation of the scanner as well as development of new pulse sequences and hardware to support neuroimaging research conducted on the scanner. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field, with at least five years of experience in pulse sequence development, MRI hardware, image reconstruction neuroimaging, or a combination of these fields. Previous experience on Siemens scanners is preferred. The candidate will be expected to develop his or her own successful research and grant-funded programs in neuroimaging, pulse sequence development, image reconstruction, or related academic domains. There will also be opportunities to mentor graduate students and teach courses on MR Physics and other topics of interest to the candidate. In support of these goals, collaboration with Siemens and other research groups/institutions will be encouraged. Compensation is dependent on experience. The successful candidate will be affiliated with an academic department based on a match between candidate background, preferences and departmental interest. Review of applications will begin December 2, 2012 and continue until the position is filled. The start date for this position is July 1, 2013.
