Beamforming files
by Luis Peraza 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

After doing beamforming there are two files besides the NAI ones, a *spheres.txt and *transform.txt files. My question is which is the purpose of these files. What do they represent? Many thanks. Luis Peraza

MRI help
by Philip Quinlan 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Are there any useful rules of thumb about what the critical cluster size should be in reporting results. I have a results with a cluster size of 1 that reaches the 2.3 threshold. (i) this cant be a real ROI - can it? (ii) why is the critical z val set at 2.3 anyway? Any help gratefully received. Thanks 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. ********************************************************************

[Fwd: [megcommunity] MEG Research Associate - University of Cambridge]
by Gary Green 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

FYI Research Associate *University of Cambridge, Department of Experimental Psychology* *Vacancy Ref: PJ07992* * * *Salary: £27,428 - £35,788 pa* Applications are invited for a post-doctoral researcher to develop, implement, and analyse MEG studies investigating cognitive and motor abilities across the adult life-span for an interdisciplinary BBSRC funded research project (Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) www.cam-can.com). This collaborative project involves researchers in a number of University of Cambridge Departments and at the MRC-Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit. The applicant will be based in the Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain, Department of Experimental Psychology, led by Professor Lorraine K Tyler. The post-holder will be expected to interact frequently with members of the CSLB and other members of the Cam-CAN team. The Centre has access to a research-dedicated 3T Siemens MR scanner, EEG and MEG facilities housed at the MRC-CBU. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant discipline and experience in MEG imaging analysis, particularly connectivity in both sensor and source space. Excellent computer programming (MATLAB and/or Python) and MEG analysis (SPM, Fieldtrip) skills are essential. A background in cognitive neuroscience, particularly ageing, would be beneficial. /Closing date: 4 May 2011, Start date: 1 October 2011/ /Limit of tenure: The funds for this post are available for one year in the first instance, with a possibility to extend for a further two-three years./ / / For further details, please see our website at http://csl.psychol.cam.ac.uk/vacancies.html or http://www.cam-can.org/vacancies/index.html Applications should include a covering letter, CV, publications list and a completed form CHRIS/6 Parts I and III (downloadable from http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6), and should be sent to Mrs M Dixon at csladmin(a)csl.psychol.cam.ac.uk <mailto:csladmin@csl.psychol.cam.ac.uk> or by post to Mrs M Dixon, Centre for Speech, Language and the Brain, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge, CB2 3EB. /The University values diversity and is committed to equality of opportunity./ /The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK./

FYI -------- Original Message -------- Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 16:53:49 +0000 (GMT) From: Klaas Enno Stephan <klaasenno(a)yahoo.de> Reply-To: Klaas Enno Stephan <k.stephan(a)fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk> To: Klaas Enno Stephan <klaasenno.stephan(a)econ.uzh.ch> Dear colleagues, The Max-Planck Society and University College London recently launched a joint initiative in Computational Psychiatry & Aging. This program currently offers a number of open postdoctoral positions (application deadline: 31 March 2011). We would be grateful if you could forward the information below to students in your department who may have an interest in applying for these positions. With many thanks and my very best wishes, Klaas Max Planck Society – University College London Joint Initiative in Computational Psychiatry and Aging The Max Planck Society (MPS) and University College London (UCL) are launching a joint initiative, funded by contributions from MPS and UCL, commencing in May 2011 (for details, see www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/research-initiative-mps-ucl <http://www.mpibberlin.mpg.de/research-initiative-mps-ucl>). The initiative will involve laboratories including the Max Planck Institute for Human Development (Berlin) and the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences (Leipzig), in Germany, and the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging (London) and the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (London) in the UK. The goal of the initiative is to develop novel neuroscience approaches to understanding psychopathology and cognitive aging that exploit computational and mechanistic perspectives. We are seeking applicants for a number of post-doctoral positions with an interest or background in computational neuroscience who would like to use such approaches to understand psychiatric disorders and cognitive aging. The applicants should forward their CVs to Helena Maravilla (MPSUCL(a)mpib-berlin.mpg.de), Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Lentzeallee 94, 14195 Berlin, Germany. The deadline for the first round of applications is March 31, 2011.

Useful Tool for Meta-analysis and Functional Anatomy
by Tom Hartley 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

I've just come across pubbrain.org. It looks like a fantastic tool for cognitive neuroscience. Search for a term (e.g. "working memory") and find out how many PubMed papers have referred to different brain regions (a "heat map" is provided), together with a list of citations. For example, Pubmed find 161 papers linking "working memory" and "inferior frontal gyrus". Of course this is only the first step in understanding the brain basis of a given function, but I think it should be very useful for gaining a quick overview. Tom

10 Mar '11

Dear Users Today (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: http://csl.psychol.cam.ac.uk/publications/ Everyone is welcome to attend.
