YNiC seminar 11th February
by Rebecca E Millman 08 Feb '10

08 Feb '10

Dear Users This week (4-5 pm in YNiC open plan) there will be a YNiC project proposal presentation by Katya Krieger-Redwood, from the Department of Psychology. "Speech Perception in the Brain: A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study" The motor theory of speech perception states that brain areas involved in producing speech, such as the PMC, also participate in processing spoken language. This study aims to establish the necessity of the PMC in the perception of spoken language, using rTMS. It is predicted that the PMC area is necessary for the resolution of difficult phonological judgement tasks but not for understanding speech in more naturalistic tasks. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Dear Users The YNiC seminar that was scheduled for 4th February (tomorrow) has been cancelled. The purpose of this week's seminar was to provide feedback on a meeting about the source of the fMRI BOLD response. This fMRI meeting should have taken place in Glasgow this week but it was cancelled at very short notice. YNiC seminars will be back to normal next week.

Software updates at YNiC
by Mark Hymers 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Dear all, Some changes and updates to supported software are being made this evening at YNiC. Information about these changes can be found at https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/FAQ/Misc/ChangeLog A brief summary follows: These changes should be mainly user invisible (except for those who build their own software from source which uses VTK, please contact me for help): * VTK and the python bindings are being updated from 5.0 to 5.4 * Various libraries and FSLView have been updated to be built against VTK 5.4 New software: * pygame 1.8.1, pyglet and psychopy 1.51 have been added to the image * Freesurfer dependencies: libvxl1.13, ebtks 1.6.2, kwwidgets 1.0.0 and teem 1.10 have been added to the image * n3 1.11.0 (from MNI) and libmni-perl have been added to the image (mainly as freesurfer dependencies but some people may have other uses for them) * Slicer 3.4.0 has been added to the image (http://www.slicer.org/) * Freesurfer 4.5 has been added to the image but is not fully tested. Please contact me before using this for instructions. There will be some testing work performed in the next week or so and Liat, Padraig, Tom and myself have discussed running a training session once we're sure it's working. * ANTS (http://www.picsl.upenn.edu/ANTS/) has been installed. Please see https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/FAQ/Misc/ANTS for notes on YNiC specific things for this software. * Nutmeg 3.1 has been added to the system (using the ynicInit system in Matlab; please see https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/ITPages/FAQ/Matlab/ExtraToolboxes ) As ever, please let me know if you see anything problematic. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

update on status of MEG
by rem 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Dear Users As many of you will know, the MEG scanner underwent preventative maintenance earlier this month. We are happy to report that this work was carried out successfully. Due to the re-cooling of the sensors and some calibration work the scanner is working well. The noise floor has improved considerably. However, one of the inherent dangers of this thermal cycling is the potential loss of sensors. Until now we had been very fortunate in that we had not lost any channels but this is no longer the case. Users should take note of the following: 1) "Dead" channels There are 3 channels in the MEG scanner that do not work. These channels are A55, A84 and A237. There had recently been suspicion about the quality of the data from channel 237 and during the maintenance it was confirmed that this channel is not working correctly. On a more positive note this is an electronics problem and will be solved once our new MEG electronics are in place. For now, anyone collecting new MEG data should exclude channels A55, A84 and A237 from their analyses. There will be some minor changes to some YNiC software to allow for channel exclusions. 2) REI board error (ONLY for MEG operators) Although currently stable, we are aware of a problem with one of the electronics boards (the REI board). MEG operators will know when the REI board is not working because of an error message that appears in the ACP window on the Sun work station. For this reason the ACP, DCP, AVP and VIP windows must be open when you are acquiring MEG data so that any problems with the MEG scanner can be tracked. If any of these windows are not open, they can be opened from the "acquisition setup" window in the database on the Sun workstation. Click on the "utilities" menu and from here open the relevant window/s. Please record any faults in the "MEG error log book" (left-hand side of the Sun machine). In the event of an REI board error, please contact a member of YNiC staff. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions about these matters.

Human Brain Mapping and More
by Chris Racey 25 Jan '10

25 Jan '10

I've been asked to forward this on to all the YNiC users by Ramon, who did his Cognitive Neuroscience masters here a couple of years ago and is now working in a research hospital in Barcelona. As part of this year's HBM, which will be held in Barcelona this year in June (http://www.humanbrainmapping.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=1), Ramon is involved in the organisation of a congress on 'The Default Mode Network and other intrinsic networks in the brain'. He would like to invite anyone from York who's interested along to the Congress, which takes place just before HBM on the 4th and 5th of June. The website is below. http://www.defaultmodenetwork.com/index.html If anyone is interested and would like to be put in touch with Ramon, let me know. -- Chris Racey PhD Candidate Department of Psychology, University of York, York, YO10 5DD, UK +44(0)7791 851542

25 Jan '10

For the Thursday seminar this week, it was suggested that YNiC staff give some feedback from the MEG UK meeting. Any volunteers? (Please keep in mind that the following week, there is supposed to be the MEG/fMRI debate after Gary and Andre have been to the meeting in Glasgow.) ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.
