Today in YNiC
by Gary Green 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Dear Users This afternoon the Vice-Chancellor will be visiting YNiC. He will be showing the Chief Executive of HEFCE around the scanners and open plan area. They will arrive at about 3pm and leave at 3.45. If you are going to be working in YNiC today it would help us a lot if you could endeavour to be in YNiC during that time. We will ask people in the open plan to be prepared to say something about their work as I am sure the VC will select someone as he has done so on other visits. In MEG Andre will be demonstrating responses to visual stimuli and Mark Hymers, Michael Cowley and Simon Duckett will be demonstrating hyperpolarisation in MRI thanks Gary -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. +44 (0) 1904 435349 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004

YNiC seminar 4th June
by rem 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Dear Users This week Gary Green will give a talk on "Statistics for Neuroimaging" from 4-5 pm in YNiC open plan. Gary will talk about the different types of statistics that can be used for neuroimaging experiments. The aim of this talk is to open up a discussion about which statistical methods we should use in the context of statistical contrasts of experimental conditions. Everyone is welcome to attend.

external speaker TODAY
by rem 21 May '09

21 May '09

Dear Users Today Suresh Muthukumaraswamy from the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) will be giving a talk on "Gamma oscillations in human visual cortex: Function, physiology and relationship to BOLD" from 4-5 pm in YNiC open plan. Everyone is welcome to attend. Best wishes Rebecca Here is Suresh's web page: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/psych/contactsandpeople/researchstaff/muthukumaras… and here is the abstract for his talk: "I review a number of studies conducted at CUBRIC using magnetoencephalography to investigate gamma oscillations (> 30 Hz) in human visual cortex. Firstly we demonstrate that gamma band responses are sensitive to a number of bottom-up stimulus parameters including spatial and temporal frequency, colour, contrast, motion and stimulus type. Studies comparing both BOLD and gamma are then considered. These data demonstrate that while BOLD and gamma responses demonstrate considerable spatial coincidence they are markedly different in their response across parametrically varied stimulus dimensions. This functional decoupling implies that gamma band oscillations as recorded by MEG are not sufficient to generate a BOLD response and that MEG can be sensitive to certain stimulus parameters that BOLD is not. Gamma band responses in individuals can be shown to be quite variable in terms of frequency and amplitude across individuals but that these effects are highly repeatable across recording sessions. Our data also demonstrate how this variability in gamma band responses and BOLD can be accounted for by measuring GABA concentration with magnetic resonance spectroscopy." -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Mental Capacity Act
by Gary Green 21 May '09

21 May '09

Dear Users From time to time PIs and users will wish to carry out non-invasive imaging research on individuals who may have a condition, or have limited cognitive ability, that makes it difficult for them to understand questions, respond appropriately or in their own best interests. The Mental Capacity Act which was put into practice in 2007 seeks to provide protection for such individuals. We are required to take actions to ensure that we comply with this act in the interests not only of the individual but also of the research worker or staff assist with that research. A list of the 12 things that you need to know about the act can be read at http://www.sabp.nhs.uk/serviceusers-carers/MentalCapacityAct A very useful document, prepared by the BPS, "Conducting research with people not having the capacity to consent to their participation - a practical guide for researchers" can be found here http://www.bps.org.uk/downloadfile.cfm?file_uuid=AC678329-1143-DFD0-7E20-4E… -- Gary Green Director York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. +44 (0) 1904 435349 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004
