[Fwd: Open post-doctoral position]
by Gary Green 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

FYI ------------------------------- Post-Doctoral Position A two-year post-doctoral position is open at the Neuroscience Center of University of Helsinki (Finland) in a project exploring the functional roles of cortical oscillations with M/EEG. The applicant will acquire M/EEG, MRI, and possibly fMRI data and perform M/EEG time series and source localization analyses within a state-of-the-art neuroinformatics platform. The main focus of the project is in the mapping and network analyses of within- and cross-frequency neuronal interactions in source-reconstructed M/EEG data (Palva et al., 2010, PNAS, NeuroImage) with published and novel approaches. The successful applicant has experience in planning and performing MEG/EEG experiments and in applying advanced data-analysis methods. The applicant should also have a track record in human neuroimaging literature. Applications are invited from ambitious, enthusiastic, and highly committed young researchers. Prerequisites include: Prior experience in the MEG/EEG field and PhD or an equivalent degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, Medical Engineering, or another related field. Programming skills (Matlab, LabVIEW) are an advantage. The application for the position should contain a 1-2 page letter of intent, CV, list of publications, and the names of at least two senior researchers who can recommend the applicant. Inquiries and applications should be sent by email to Satu Palva (satu.palva(a)helsinki.fi <mailto:satu.palva@helsinki.fi>). Satu Palva, PhD Neuroscience Center P.O.

YNiC seminar today
by rem 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Dear Users Today (4.30-5.30 pm YNiC open plan) Andy Ellis will give a talk on "Semantically-driven re-activation of visual cortex in object recognition?". Summary: Magnetoencephalography was used to probe the nature and time course of responses to early and late acquired objects in a covert naming task. Analysis focused on regions in left occipital and anterior temporal cortex that have been reported to show stronger responses to early than late acquired objects in fMRI. An evoked response in visual cortex around 170 ms was followed by an evoked response in anterior temporal cortex (150-250 ms) that was stronger to early than late acquired objects. This was followed by an induced re-activation of visual cortex from 250 ms onwards that was also modulated by age of acquisition. The talk will illustrate one way of making statistical comparisons across experimental conditions in MEG. Everyone is welcome to attend.

change in start time of YNiC seminars
by rem 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Dear Users Please be aware that, as of this week, YNiC Thursday seminars will start at the later time of *4.30 pm*. This shift in the starting time is necessary to avoid a clash with teaching sessions in Psychology. Thank you Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

YNiC seminar today
by rem 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Dear Users Today (4-5 pm YNiC open plan) Chris Racey will give a project proposal talk on "Processing of real world objects in object selective cortex: effects of parametric manipulation of size change". Summary: The visual system is able to perform recognition tasks in a manner that appears to be invariant to changes in size of the retinal image. It is thought that this size invariance is established early on in visual processing (Goodale & Milner, 1992; Rolls, 2000). The aim of the present study is to measure adaptation to objects of changing size across the whole visual system and across several size change conditions which vary parametrically. The design of the present experiment will be an fMR-adaptation paradigm similar to that used in our previous work looking at viewpoint invariance (Racey et al., 2010). We aim to measure differences in size invariance for objects between the various category selective brain regions at the level of the Ventral Occipito-Temporal cortex (VOT). Further, we aim to measure the change in size invariance moving posterior to anterior through the visual processing hierarchy. Everyone is welcome to attend. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

YNiC Security code change
by Jo Saunders 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

The security access code for YNiC has been changed today. So if any user has a set of access door keys for YNiC, and hasn't already been advised of the new access code, then could they please contact myself or another member of YNiC staff. This change has no impact on the door fobs which should continue to work as before. Many thanks, Jo. -- ............................

MRI operation
by Gary Green 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

Dear Colleagues As you know, Alliance Medical have now left YNiC. This means that they obviously are not providing MRI Operators. The only authorised MRI operators are Andre Gouws Mark Hymers Ross Devlin (temporary appointment to cover clinical projects, but is available for research scanning from the 5th of January) others are in training. I will inform you when more operators become available Please do not try and operate the magnet console if you are not on the list. This is for your safety and those of your participants. You will not be covered by insurance if an incident were to occur. The full list of operators can always be found at https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/mri-operators 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 (Amy Gibson) +44 (0) 1904 435329 or amy.gibson(a)ynic.york.ac.uk fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004

Downtime at YNiC
by Mark Hymers 06 Dec '10

06 Dec '10

Hi, As you are probably aware, YNiC open plan will be closed tomorrow for staff training. We're also going to take the opportunity to perform a needed hardware fix on one of the main servers, so it won't be possible for people to leave analyses running on the machines in open plan or the cluster. This outage will be from around 9am for an hour or so. This will also affect the remote desktop service, which will be rebooted as part of the work - anybody who has suspended sessions should make sure that they save their work before tomorrow morning. I've explicitly Bcc'd those who appear to have sessions running to ensure that they know about this - apologies to anyone who gets the mail twice. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre
