by rem 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Dear Users The last YNiC seminar of this term (Thursday 19th March) has been left open so that Users can present work in progress from their neuroimaging projects. Does anyone have any exciting/problematic results that they would like to present next week? Please let me know if you are interested in volunteering. Thanks Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

MRI Pulse Programming
by Mark Hymers 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Dear all, On Monday 9th at 16:00 in the YNiC open plan area there will be a presentation entitled: "An Introduction to MRI Pulse Programming on GE systems" The talk will cover a brief introduction to the MRI scanner hardware and what actually happens when you prescribe a series and press the scan button. The talk will not include (many) code examples but should be of interest to anyone who wishes to start working on pulse sequences. All welcome. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Funding news
by Antony Morland 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

Dear All, I am delighted to announce that Tim Andrews and Andy Young have been awarded a 3-year project grant funded by Wellcome Trust. The title and abstract of the grant are copied below. I am sure you will all join me in congratulating Tim and Andy on this award. I would also like to thank them for all the hard work they have put in to applying multiple times for external funding. It is reassuring to know and a pleasure to see that all their efforts have now paid off. Tony The Neural Basis of Familiar Face Perception The aim of this proposal is to understand further the neural processes involved in the recognition of familiar faces. It is well established that while people are very good at identifying familiar faces (even from very low quality images), whereas performance in recognition or matching of unfamiliar faces is poor. The main objective of this proposal is to compare and contrast how structural information about familiar and unfamiliar faces is represented in the human brain using fMRI in combination with recent developments in computer graphics and image analysis.

YNiC seminar 5th March
by rem 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Dear Users This week two Users will be reporting on developments in their MEG projects: 1) Andy Young "Impact of responses on subsequent trials in MEG" 2) Sam Mathias "What are the neural correlates of detecting and naming the direction of changes in pitch?" A number of psychophysical experiments have suggested that simply detecting a change in frequency between pure tones and naming the direction of pitch shifts rely on separable mechanisms. To my knowledge, no neuroimaging studies have investigated this directly. In the presentation I will give a (very) brief outline of the relevant literature and explain the motivation behind my proposal for an MEG study to be conducted at YNiC. Everyone is welcome to attend. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.
