FYI -------------------------- Within the newly established Collaborative Research Center („Sonderforschungsbereich“ SFB 940) „Volition and Cognitive Control“ the Neuroimaging Center at the Department of Psychology in the Faculty of Mathematics und Natural Sciences seeks to appoint a Data Analyst/ Research Scientist, Ph.D. (salary E13 TV-L, 100%) with a strong background in advanced neuroimaging methods (especially functional connectivity) The position is initially limited for 4 years. Tasks: The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) “Volition and Cognitive Control” (http://tu-dresden.de/die_tu_dresden/fakultaeten/fakultaet_mathematik_und_na…) comprises 20 sub-projects and is funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG) for an initial period of four years with a budget of over 10 Mill. €. The overarching aim of the CRC is to combine expertise from experimental psychology, cognitive-affective neuroscience, clinical psychology, and psychiatry to investigate cognitive and neural mechanisms of volitional control as well as volitional dysfunctions in selected mental disorders. As a central component of SFB 940 a „Core Imaging Facility” (CIF) will be established which serves to support and inspire fMRI-based projects within the SFB 940. As part of the CIF team, we seek to appoint a specialist for the analysis of large-scale functional brain networks. This position is expected to be involved in a wide range of co-operations related to both implementing established functional connectivity methods as well as developing novel analytic methods. The Department of Psychology houses a neuroimaging center with a 3T Siemens Trio scanner exclusively dedicated to research. Besides an engagement in research projects we also expect the candidate to take an active role in training Ph.D. students on fMRI methods. Language for daily research communication will be English. Profile: We seek to appoint a person with a strong background in computational neuroscience with profound mathematical knowledge who is highly experienced and skilled in the multivariate analysis of large-scale functional brain connectivity with in-depth expertise ideally in more than one analytical technique applied to fMRI data (DCM, ICA, SEM, GA, etc.).

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.

25 Jun '12

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.

Fwd: [Staff] Fwd: Course for the "Pattern Recognition in Neuroimaging Toolbox", aka. PRoNTo
by Gary Green 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

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 17 Jun '12

17 Jun '12

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 14 Jun '12

14 Jun '12

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. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.
