fMRI Angst
by philip quinlan 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hi Together with Andre and Nikos, we have collected some potentially very interesting results via an fMRI study on task switching. The issue is this. When we do group analyses with cluster correction, 3 very large blobs are found in contrasting cond 1 with cond 2. However, in playing with fslview it is clear that within these blobs there are more interesting localised islands of activity. My dilemma is this if we simply report the cluster-corrected blobs that is okay but what I really want to discuss are these other ROIs. So how do I get this published and satisfy the statisitcal reviewer? I cannot do a simple a priori ROI analysis because some of the conditions are relatively novel and we cant predict where the ROIs might be. We can do this via email or I can talk about this at YNiC next week perhaps? Philip. ******************************************************************** Philip Quinlan E-Mail: ptq1(a)york.ac.uk Department of Psychology FAX: (01904) 323181 The University of York Tel: (01904) 320000 Ext. 3135 Heslington Direct : (01904) 323135 York YO10 5DD U.K. ********************************************************************

School visit tomorrow.
by Michael Simpson 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Dear all, just to let you know that there will be a school visit in YNiC from 10.00 until 11.15 tomorrow, July 20th. No workstations will be used, however the presentation area will be being used. Therefore, Open Plan will be busier than usual, and there will no doubt be a greater level of background noise ...

Karl Friston Celebrations
by Gary Green 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

I would like to thank everyone in Psychology, the YNiC-Users and the YNiC Staff for all their contributions to celebrating the award of an honorary doctorate to Karl Friston. He asked me to pass on his additional appreciation to those of you who contributed to the absolutely fabulous workshop in the Venables Room yesterday. He was full of praise for the studies being undertaken and for the excellent talks. He kept referring to the work for the rest of the day and clearly took away some very strong impressions of the research being carried out in Psychology. I would also like to personally thank Claire Fox for her calm, professional and wonderful organisation of all the events that were associated with Karl Friston's visit. Thank you all - we should do it again!

RE: Colin Blakemore - champagne reception at YNiC
by Tim Andrews 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Dear All, Thanks to those who attended the reception at YNiC for Colin yesterday. There was a really nice buzz about the place. Thanks particularly to those who showed Colin around and demonstrated the different techniques we have at YNiC. It gave an excellent (and correct) impression of the great research that is taking place. Finally, thanks to Pete, Gary and Quentin for their anecdotes and tributes to Colin and to Claire for organizing the event so brilliantly. Best wishes, Tim From: Tim Andrews [mailto:t.andrews@psych.york.ac.uk] Sent: 13 July 2011 14:59 To: 'all(a)psych.york.ac.uk'; 'ynic-users(a)ynic.york.ac.uk' Subject: Colin Blakemore - champagne reception at YNiC Dear All, Professor Colin Blakemore FRS will be receiving an honorary degree from the University tomorrow (Thursday). Some of us have been directly influenced by Colin's research, but many of you will be more aware of Colin's contribution to the public understanding of science http://www.neuroscience.ox.ac.uk/directory/colin-blakemore. To recognize Colin's achievements, the Department will be holding a champagne reception at YNiC around 3.20-3.30 tomorrow in the open plan area. There are a few of us who know Colin well and we will say a few words about him. Quentin will then say a few words about Colin's contribution to the MRC and his role more generally in communicating the importance of science to the public. You are all welcome to come to this event. It is only for a short time, so please try and come if you can. It would also be great to see some younger faces. If you are intending on coming, can you please email Claire Fox at YNiC. Best wishes, Tim -- Dr Tim Andrews Department of Psychology University of York York, YO10 5DD UK Tel: 44-1904-434356 Fax: 44-1904-433181 http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~ta505/
