Dear Users
I am sorry to say that both MRI and MEG are still unavailable.
MRI:
We are closer to understanding the problem. It appears to be related to
shimming and that there is a fault with a/the shim coil(s). Engineers
are on site.
MEG:
We will get a possible replacement board today and we will know,
tomorrow, whether this is a solution to the fault on the REI board.

Dear Users
I am sorry to say that we are having some problems with MRI and MEG.
MRI is down because the Y gradient system is faulty. The engineers from
GE have been working on this since Monday morning. Unfortunately the
problem is compounded by a water leak from the new air handling system
into the floor space where there are high voltage cables.
MEG has also been problematic of late due to an intermittent fault with
a key board, the REI card. This handles information flow from the
sensors. Although we have, in the past, managed to correct the fault,
the problem now, as of this week, seems to be occurring more frequently.
We have taken steps to replace the board and we hope to have done so by
Friday. Unfortunately the work we are doing to completely replace the
electronics will not be finished until later in the year.
I will keep you informed of progress with correcting these faults.
In the meantime, I apologise for the inconvenience caused,
Gary

Hi,
We've just pushed PASW 18 (otherwise known as SPSS) to the YNiC
desktops including the remote desktop service.
Thanks,

In addition to "Feedback from the MEG UK meeting" on 3rd February, Tim
Andrews will also give two project proposal presentations:
1. Can patterns of neural response predict facial identity?

Dear Users
Today (4.30-5.30 pm YNiC open plan) Ed Silson will give a project
proposal presentation on "Functional Properties of LO-1 and LO-2 in
human Lateral Occipital cortex"
Summary:
The Lateral Occipital (LO) cortex is known to be an object-selective
brain region. Although originally thought not to contain a retinotopic
organisation, recent evidence suggests that LO contains two adjacent
representations of the contralateral visual field, referred to as LO-1
and LO-2 (Larson & Heeger, 2006). Larson and Heeger (2006) suggested
that LO-1 and LO-2 might have different functional properties and that
both contribute to object recognition. We aim to use functionally-guided
TMS to probe the functional properties of LO-1 and LO-2.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
Best wishes
Rebecca
