Dear Users
This week's YNiC session (4-5pm) will consist of a discussion led by Prof. Sue Gathercole on strategies for successful grant applications, followed by a YNiC project proposal by George Tsoulas.
1) 16.00-16.45
Professor Sue Gathercole, who is a member of the Medical Research
Council's Neurosciences and Mental Health Board, will lead a discussion of
how to optimize the chances of success with grant applications. Other
researchers with experience of applying successfully for grants, working
for grant awarding bodies etc. will then be invited to contribute their own
thoughts. Winning grant income is not easy in the current climate, but
this event is designed to pool advice and guidance on what you can do to
maximize your chances.
2) 16.45-17.00
George Tsoulas & Silvia Gennari "The computation of ellipsis: Evidence from brain imaging"

Hello all,
Just a reminder that the open plan will be full again this afternoon for
the MSc practical, from 13:15 to 15:15. We will be very busy and there
are unlikely to be machines available, so no matter how eager you are to
arrive early for the seminar at 16:00 you'd be advised to wait till
after 15:15.
This week we have an external speaker, Stephan Moratti. The title of
Stephan's talk is "Steady state visual evoked potentials/ fields:
Advantages of High Signal to Noise Ratio in Basic and Clinical
Psychophysiological Research" and, as ever, everyone is welcome.
Thanks,
Sam

Dear Users,
The MEG system will be undergoing planned, preventative maintenance from
Friday, Nov.7th until Friday, Nov. 14th.
There will be no MEG scanning during this maintenance window.
The work will include a recalibration of the system, an overhaul of the
mechanics of the bed and the replacement of half of the SAD cards. We
replaced the first half in June, and this is the second and final stage in
the replacement.
We thank you for your patience in this matter and apologise for any
inconvenience this may cause.
Best Regards,
Maribel Pulgarin-Montoya

Dear all,
as many of you know, Laura Lee has just submitted her PhD thesis.
Naturally, we congratulate her for this achievement, and are glad that
she has manged to complete her thesis so promptly. However, we do now
have a Laura Lee shaped hole in the YNiC DSO (Duty Support Officer)
rota. Are there any PhD students, Postdocs, or staff members out there
who would like the honour of being a YNiC DSO as a fortnightly or
monthly fixture on the rota?
If so, please email me.
With thanks,
Michael

Dear Users,
at the 'Meet the Researchers' session for new Psychology first years,
there were a number of first years and seconds years interested in getting
involved in brain imaging. Those who showed interest were encouraged to
join the participant pool, and to sign up to the ynic-users mailing list.
Should you be looking for volunteers for your study, now may be a good
time to use the new database and advertise for your study. Similarly, if
you are looking for undergraduates to get involved with your studies,
there are a number of new members of the ynic-users mailing list eager to
learn the finer arts of neuroimaging.
Best wishes,
Michael
