We have an interesting day in YNiC. The Chancellor of the University is visiting at 2pm and then at 4pm we have the poject presentations by the Masters students. Do come along to both. The Chancellor has asked to meet users and I am sure that you will be keen to hear about the new exciting plans for projects this year on the Masters course. Here is a list of working titles and the students who will be presenting each talk: Does language modulate activity in motion perception area V5? Caroline Jennings Gina Humphries Katherine Newling Yiwen Tan The neural basis of familiar face recognition from fMR adaptation Ajay Hallai Nick Arthur Emma Pagett Investigating semantic cognition (TMS) Jamie O'Sullivan Marie Kirk Investigating semantic cognition (Neuropsychology) Jen Wathan This session will take start at 4 pm in YNiC. The talks may run on past 5 pm, depending on the duration of the talks and questions. Everyone is welcome to attend. -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk tel. 01904 435349 fax 01904 435356 mobile 07986 778954

Power outage
by Mark Hymers 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

Hi, This evening there was a major power outage affecting YNiC. The Science Park and parts of the University were affected. Most systems were taken down in a co-ordinated manner during the period which the UPSes provided power and we believe that most user-visible systems are now up and running again. It is possible, however, that some areas have been overlooked or that there may be lingering problems. Please let the DSO know if this is the case and they will bring it to the attention of the right staff to deal with it. Any cluster jobs running at the time of the outage will be cleared and will need to be re-run. Please note that we do not intend to bring the cluster up again until tomorrow morning at the earliest and there may be some delay in getting the whole cluster running again. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

[Fwd: This week's seminar at YNiC]
by Gary Green 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

In one hours time do come ------------------------------------ Dear colleagues This week we will discuss the design of a set of MEG and fMRI experiments that could be used to form the basis of a 'gold-standard' dataset that could be used to compare and contrast current MEG analysis techniques as well allow the testing of future analysis algorithms. Andy Young has proposed that we start this exercise by collecting data that would primarily activate sensory cortices as one should be able to predict the outcome. The aim would be to collect data in as 'perfect' a manner as possible and would include the recording of eye movements, EOG and ECG signals. The specific design of the experiments will be discussed this Thursday at 4pm. We will also discuss how we will use a suite of analysis tools to examine different source localisation and reconstruction methods. Examples of how this could be achieved will be presented by members of the YNiC team but the idea is that an analysis task-force would be encouraged to tackle the data. One of the aims is to use this data to refine our data analysis and statistical methods. We hope this will lead to clear guidelines as to the 'best' way to approach MEG experimentation and source analysis. The outcomes will determine how we develop the analysis software framework and will, hopefully, result in even clearer documentation for users as well as publications. Do come and contribute. All welcome Gary -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5DG

Today's YNiC Session
by Sam Johnson 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hello all, Just a quick note to let you know about this afternoon's session. The intention is to very briefly go through the talks that were given at MEG -UK and mention some of the common themes in terms of the problems people are experiencing and potential ways of addressing them. In fact these issues overlap quite heavily with the discussions planned for next week. We don't really want to preempt that discussion, so this afternoon's session will probably be quite short, and to some extent a scene setter for the debate proper on Feb the 5th. That said as ever, all are welcome. Thanks, Sam

International MEG Conference, Athens 2009
by awe1＠psych.york.ac.uk 24 Jan '09

---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: International MEG Conference, Athens 2009 From: "Fuller, Susan V" <Susan.V.Fuller(a)uth.tmc.edu> Date: Fri, January 23, 2009 7:02 pm To: "Papanicolaou, Andrew C" <Andrew.C.Papanicolaou(a)uth.tmc.edu> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues: I am pleased to announce the 3rd biannual conference of the International Society for the Advancement of Clinical Magnetoencephalography (ISACM) scheduled for September 4th and 5th 2009 in Athens, Greece. The first meeting in Xylokastro, Greece (http://www.uth.tmc.edu/clinicalneuro/mega2005.htm) in 2005 laid the foundations of the Society and resulted in the election of an executive board and the first president, Professor Nakasato, who chaired the second meeting in August of 2007 in the beautiful Matsushima Bay, Japan (http://www.knt.co.jp/ec/2007/isacm/). As it was the case with the two previous meetings, the emphasis of the upcoming one will be on professional issues of great importance to our young Society, to be discussed in a series of plenary round tables, and on new clinical research findings to be presented in the form of posters. You will find the details of the meeting, the associated social events, as well as suggestions for enjoying Greece before and after the conference, on the following website (http://www.uth.tmc.edu/clinicalneuro/ISACM/Welcome.htm). I am looking forward to seeing you in Athens. A.C. Papanicolaou Conference Chairman The University of Texas Medical School 1333 Moursund Street, Suite H 114 Houston, TX 77030 TEL: (713)797-7571 FAX: (713) 797-7590 Andrew.C.Papanicolaou(a)uth.tmc.edu <mailto:Andrew.C.Papanicolaou@uth.tmc.edu> http://www.uth.tmc.edu/clinicalneuro/ <blocked::http://www.uth.tmc.edu/clinicalneuro/>
