update on MRI and MEG
by Gary Green 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

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.

MRI and MEG problems
by Gary Green 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

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 -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg tel. +44 (0) 1904 435349 PA +44 (0) 1904 435329 or reception(a)ynic.york.ac.uk fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004

YNiC seminar today
by rem 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

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.
