Call for expertise: across session fMRI analyses
by andre＠ynic.york.ac.uk 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Dear Users, Concatenation or higher level stats? We would value the input of any users who have experience of 'combining' fMRI data across multiple runs for more robust averaging. The issue arises when trials of an experient are acquired in different data blocks due to technical limitations of scan scquisition protocols or often to reduce the strain on participants in a single session. I have searched many available resources. There are well documented routines for (1) analysinng the sessions individually and then compring them with a higher level analysis or (2) demeaning the two timeseries and combining them into a single one .. then following the standard analysis individual subject routine. Comments would be appreciated (especially from anyone has first hand experience of doing this). Thanks Andre'

Dear Users Please note that, contrary to the email I sent this morning, this week's YNiC seminar will be held in Psychology i.e. *NOT YNIC*. Ole's talk will be in the Venables room (A202) since B020 is being used for a graduation party. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Computing service maintenance
by Gary Green 02 Jul '08

02 Jul '08

Dear Colleagues Computing Service have asked us to take our machines down for a period of three hours on Wednesday evening. This will allow us to take advantage of a change in the University network architecture and will provide more resilience in our connections to the University. Please can everyone stop submitting cluster jobs that will not be complete by 5pm on Wednesday. To be on the safe side I would suggest not submitting jobs after 3pm on Wednesday. Even then jobs may be lost if they are still running at 5. During the downtime, mail and web services will also be interrupted but for a shorter period. Thanks -- 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

Reduced Support
by Sam Johnson 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

Hello all, As I'm sure many of you will know there's a fairly large contingent of YNiC users and staff heading off to Barcelona in a couple of weeks for the annual 4D users meeting. This will be a very hard working trip (with not a hint of tapas or sangria, no siree) but does mean that for at least some of the week beginning 14th of July there will be very limited support available at YNiC. Some of the staff will be returning towards the end of the week but for the 14th to 16th at least, YNiC will be running with little more than a skeleton staff. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause, but the 4D meetings have been very useful in the past and we hope will be so again this year. If you have any issues that you think may come up over that week you may well be advised to let us know as soon as possible so we can resolve them ahead of time, or put them off till the following week. Hopefully the disruption will be minimal, and worth the ideas and developments we'll bring back. Thanks, Sam

Richard Wise, from Imperial College London, will be giving the Thursday evening seminar on the 26th entitled: "So why hasn't functional imaging told us how we recover communication after an aphasic stroke" There will be the usual selection of refreshments afterwards and as always, all are welcome. The seminar will be held in YNiC at 4.30pm (note the change in time) We will be taking Richard out to dinner afterwards. Do contact me if you would like to join us, -- 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

Next Thursday
by Sam Johnson 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Hello again, Thanks to all who pointed out my deliberate mistake in nicely clashing next Thursday's seminar with an important, whole faculty psychology meeting. Oops. I'm just checking that there are no problems in moving the seminar back a bit to allow people to get across to YNiC, and once I've confirmed that I'll send another email with a slightly revised time. In the mean time, thanks again to those who let me know, and watch this space, Yours abashedly, Sam
