Hi,
We have recently made some changes to the booking system for MEG to
bring it more into line with the MRI system.
"Operator Slots" have been re-introduced into the MEG system in line
with the practice for MRI. These slots will disappear from the system
2 working days beforehand. All projects which can book MEG with YNiC
provided operators will therefore be able to book in the same way that
they can for MRI, but with a slightly longer notice period (2 days
instead of 1).
The following is a list of times of the week when operators will be
available:
Monday 0930-1130 and 1330-1630
Tuesday 1330-1530
Wednesday 0900-1200
Thursday 0900-1200 and 1300-1600
Friday 1100-1600
Projects with their own operators can continue to book the scanner at
any time they require (subject to any other restrictions such as number
of hours per week).
If there are any questions about this procedure, please contact
reception(a)ynic.york.ac.uk
Thanks,
Mark

Dear All,
Please can everyone ensure that all completed participant registration
and consent forms which have been used and requiring filing away for
safekeeping are put into the new post box which has been installed on
the wall in the YNiC reception. This will be emptied and the forms filed
in the reception office daily.
Many thanks for your cooperation with this new system which has been
introduced to help safeguard the confidential details which are held on
these forms.

Dear Users
This week (4.30-5.30 pm in YNiC) there will be a talk on "Demonstrating
functional connectivity between brain regions using MEG" given by
myself, Muriel Lobier and Andy Ellis.
This talk will take the form of a journal club to discuss connectivity
measures in MEG in the context of a paper by Alex Clarke, Kirsten Taylor
and Lorraine Tyler [Clarke, A., Taylor, KI and Tyler, LK. (in press).
The evolution of meaning: Spatio-temporal dynamics of visual object
recognition. J. Cogn. Neurosci. ].
The paper can be downloaded from Lorraine Tyler's website:

Everyone is welcome to attend.
Best wishes

Today (4.30-5.30 pm) there will be a YNiC project proposal presentation
by Lilia Psalta. The title of Lilia's talk is "Neural correlates of the
Thatcher Illusion".
Summary:
The Thatcher illusion is a phenomenon where it becomes difficult to detect
local feature changes in an upside down face, despite identical changes
being
obvious in an upright face. The illusion was named after the former
British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher on whose photograph the effect has been most
famously demonstrated (Thompson, 1980). The aim of this proposal is to use
the Thatcher Illusion to explore how information about the identity,
expression
and attractiveness of faces is represented in the brain.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
Best wishes
