Registering Participants and Requesting Participant Forms for Scanning at YNiC

by Jill Hurst

Dear All, We are going to be more efficient in registering particpants on the YNiC database and retrieving scanning forms. It would be really appreicated, therefore, if you could get any new participant forms to us as soon as possible (at least 24-hours before the scan). The sooner the better. It would also be very helpful if you could email a list of particpant names or R numbers you will need retrieving during the week ahead so we can prepare these ready for you in advance. With very best wishes, Jill -- Jill Hurst PA to Gary Green MA DPhil BM BCh FRSA FSB Director - York Neuroimaging Centre Professor of Neuroimaging and Human Neuroscience Telephone: 01904 43 5329 Fax: 01904 43 5356 _______________________________________________ Staff mailing list Staff(a)ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/staff -- Jill Hurst PA to Gary Green MA DPhil BM BCh FRSA FSB Director - York Neuroimaging Centre Professor of Neuroimaging and Human Neuroscience Telephone: 01904 43 5329 Fax: 01904 43 5356

Re: positions at Karolinska Institutet (Stockholm)

by Gary Green

FYI ------------------------- Three post-doc positions are now available in our group. KIND is a competence center for research, development and education within the area of developmental psychopathology. The center is established in collaboration between Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm County Council aiming at improving generating high-end basic research, clinical practice, and spread new knowledge to stakeholders. 1) Postdoc in developmental neuroimaging: The post-doc fellow will be responsible for the neuroimaging part within a project investigating infants with high risk for Autism Spectrum Disorders. This work is funded by the EU AIMS consortium (http://www.eu-aims.eu/#). Functional MRI (activation with auditory stimuli and resting state), as well as myelination assessments are planned, both at 4 and 36 months. 2) Postdoc in cognitive neuroimaging - longitudinal design: The post-doc fellow will be mainly responsible for the longitudinal neuroimaging assessments within a project investigating twins discordant for Autism Spectrum Disorders. This project is funded by the EU AIMS consortium (http://www.eu-aims.eu). Functional (diffusion, resting-state), as well as structural MRI are planned. The position implies to be involved in the administrative and technical set-up of this follow-up. 3) Engineer/Postdoc in MR spectroscopic imaging: The post-doc fellow or the engineer will be responsible for the MR spectroscopic imaging part within a project investigating twins discordant for Autism Spectrum Disorders. MRSI-1H MR spectroscopic imaging will be used as a complementary method to resting-state-functional, diffusion and structural MRI. The MRSI part will include the metabolic map reconstruction software development or adaptation of available packages. The MRSI quantification will be based on LCmodel while post processing: metabolic map reconstruction, should be re-designed. All the details can be found here: http://ki.se/ki/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=34093&l=en Please note that we DO NOT ACCEPT applications being submitted by email. To be considered, your application must be submitted as specified within the announcement.

Fwd: [Staff] Fwd: Course for the "Pattern Recognition in Neuroimaging Toolbox", aka. PRoNTo

by Gary Green

Fyi *+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ **Course for the "Pattern Recognition in Neuroimaging Toolbox", aka. PRoNTo UCL, London, 5 July 2012* Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that registration for the next PRoNTo(*) course is now open. This one-day course will be held for the second time in London on July 5, and will offer a comprehensive coverage of all "Pattern Recognition in Neuroimaging Toolbox" features and functionalities, including: - introduction to neuroimaging and machine learning concepts - specific pattern recognition methods for neuroimaging - software demonstration and hands on session For further information and registration, please see: http://www.mlnl.cs.ucl.ac.uk/pronto/prtcourses.html Sincerely, C. Phillips and J. Mourao-Miranda, on behalf of the PRoNTo team. (*) PRoNTo aims to facilitate the interaction between the machine learning and neuroimaging communities. The toolbox provides a variety of tools for the neuroscience and clinical neuroscience communities, enabling these communities to ask new questions that cannot be easily investigated using existing statistical analysis tools. On the other hand the machine learning community can easily contribute to the toolbox with novel published machine learning algorithms. PRoNTo is directly compatible with SPM8. See http://www.mlnl.cs.ucl.ac.uk/pronto/ for more details and download. The poster presented at the OHBM2012 conference is also available here: https://ww4.aievolution.com/hbm1201/files/content/abstracts/97421/0391_Schr… *+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++*

Matlab versions

by Mark Hymers

Hi, We've added Matlab 7.14 (R2012a) to the YNiC systems. The default has not yet changed and remains 7.12 (R2011a). Details of the supported versions are at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/FAQ/Misc/SupportedVersions#Matlab Can people please test the new Matlab version as we'll change the default in September unless any major issues are found. We have removed Matlab 7.10 (R2010a) as per the upgrade timetable. (This has not been the default version for over a year). We will also be looking to remove Matlab 7.8 in October after one toolbox has been ported to a newer matlab version. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

YNiC talk today

by rem

Dear Users Today (starting 4.30 pm in YNiC open plan) there will be a project proposal presentation by Giuliana Mazzoni, University of Hull, about "Imaging Autobiographical Memory (ABM)" Abstract: After a brief overview of what we know about ABM, in the talk I will cover two new sets of findings that can change the current view of ABM. One refers to the dissociation between remembering an autobiographical event and believing the event happened. The second refers to a superior form of autobiographical memory called Hyperthymesia. Implications of these new findings and potential developments using brain imaging techniques will be explored. Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be served afterwards.
