Dear Colleagues
As you know the WHO has announced that a flu pandemic is imminent.
Can I take this opportunity to remind everyone who uses YNiC that as a
clinical facility we have to be especially vigilant with respect to hygiene.
Please use the antiseptic gel dispensers, to clean your hands, on entry
and exit from the MRI and MEG corridors. This is both for protection of
you and the participants.
thanks

Congratulations to Uzma Urooj on successfully negotiating her PhD viva on
Friday (with only minor corrections needed).
My thanks to Gary for acting as internal examiner, and to Piers and all
the YNiC staff who made such important contributions to her work.

Announcing the first Neurobiology of Language Conference
15-16 October 2009
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Dear Dr Ellis,
Please join us in Chicago on October 15th and 16th 2009, for the first
Neurobiology of Language Conference
(http://mail.elsevier-alerts.com/go.asp?/bESJ001/qZ6NO39/xGF7Y39) (NLC
2009), just before the start of the annual meeting of the Society for
Neuroscience
(http://mail.elsevier-alerts.com/go.asp?/bESJ001/qQ6WO39/xGF7Y39) (SfN)!
Aims
The aim of the conference is to present the current status of research
into the neurobiology of language, at the crossroads of neuroscience,
linguistics, and experimental psychology. Topics will relate to the neural
mechanisms underlying perceptual, cognitive, motor, and linguistic
processes used to produce and to understand language in both children and
adults. The conference will feature poster and slide presentations as well
as keynote presentations by several of the field's most distinguished
researchers.
The Committee
NLC is organized by an international committee of experts on Language
Neurobiology, including Jeffrey Binder, Sheila Blumstein, Laurent Cohen,
Angela Friederici, Vincent Gracco, Peter Hagoort, Marta Kutas, Alec
Marantz, David Poeppel, Cathy Price, Kunioshi Sakai, Riitta Salmelin,
Bradley Schlagger, and Richard Wise, under the supervision of Steven L.
Small and Pascale Tremblay, and co-sponsored by the Center for Integrative
Neuroscience and Neuroengineering Research (CINNR) and the Human
Neuroscience Laboratory of The University of Chicago, and by Elsevier's
International Journal Brain and Language
(http://mail.elsevier-alerts.com/go.asp?/bESJ001/qH65X39/xGF7Y39).
Call for Abstracts for NLC 2009
Opens on Monday April 13, 2009 at 9AM (CST)
Closes on Sunday, May 17, 2009 at midnight (CST)
SfN regulations allow individuals to present their SfN abstracts during
SfN satellite events. It is not necessary to be a member of the SfN to
attend NLC 2009 and it is not obligatory to submit NLC 2009 abstracts to
SfN.
To register and to submit an abstract, visit:
http://mail.elsevier-alerts.com/go.asp?/bESJ001/q86EX39/xGF7Y39
For more information, email us at mailto:committee@neurolang.org or

Dear all,
Due to the need to do some systems maintanence, YNiC will be shutting at
5pm on Thursday evening (16th) and all computers (including the cluster)
will be temporarily switched off. We will re-open as normal on Friday
morning (17th). This means that no cluster jobs will be able to be left
running on Thursday night and all open plan desktops will be logged out.
This does not affect the Psychology email server.
Apologies for the short notice and inconvenience.

Dear all,
We've just updated the YNiC Data Protection policy which is now available at
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/policies/data-protection
At the same time, there is now a dedicated contact address
(data(a)ynic.york.ac.uk) for handling all data protection and image/CD requests.
We hope this will simplify and speed up future requests and would appreciate
it if everyone could use this address.
Whilst updating the document, we have also revised the "Use of Computer
Facilities" …
[View More]policy to point at the Data Protection policy. The new rules are
available at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/policies/computer-usage
They are basically the same as the old ones but explicitly require users to
follow the Data Protection Policy (we're apparently required to put this in).
The rules for computer use now read as follows:
================================================================================
These regulations apply to all computer users (staff, students and visitors) at
YNiC. They are subject to change after the proper notification of users.
1. All users must abide by the University of York's Regulations for use of
computing facilities (http://www.york.ac.uk/admin/aso/ordreg/r11.htm) and
the regulations therein, specifically the use of JANET and SuperJANET,
available directly here (http://www.ja.net/services/publications/policy/aup.html).
2. All users are required to familiarise themselves with the YNiC Data
Protection policy and acknowledge that data must not be removed from YNiC
without express, written permission from the Data Protection Officer of YNiC.
Contact information and the policy are available at
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/policies/data-protection
================================================================================
Apologies for the tedious nature of this message. Please direct any queries to
data(a)ynic.york.ac.uk
Thanks,
Mark
