MEG Booking
by Mark Hymers 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

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 -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

09 Mar '11

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.

YNiC seminar 10th March

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: http://csl.psychol.cam.ac.uk/publications/ Everyone is welcome to attend.

YNiC seminar today
by rem 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Dear Users 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 Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.
