Dear All, Please be aware that when you submit bookings for scanning there is a limit of 7 hours per week per scanner for your project. Also note, that requests for bookings after 4pm may not be possible to arrange because it involves additional radiographer cover. Thanks Tony Antony Morland PhD Deputy Director York Neuroimaging Centre Professor of Visual Neuroscience Department of Psychology University of York York YO10 5DD UK Tel +44 (0) 1904 432 860 Email a.morland(a)psychology.york.ac.uk

Etiquette

Dear All, I just wanted to pass on some advice with regard to accessing the MRI corridor, when you are about to scan participants. I am communicating this information because over recent days, quite consistently, investigators together with their participants have been milling around in the MRI corridor in advance of their booked slot. I know that this reflects enthusiasm and an effort on the investigators part to be well prepared for their scan session and make good use of time. However, the presence of people in the MRI corridor also runs the risk of disquieting patients who have been scanned for health reasons. I want to try and strike a balance between optimising the use of the scanner and maximising privacy for patients and research participants, who change clothes in the cubicles on the MRI corridor. Heres the plan then: (1) A maximum of two investigators, but preferably just one investigator, may accompany the research participant into the MRI corridor. (2) The investigator(s) can stay in the corridor only for the time it takes to explain the procedure for changing into scrubs to the participant. (3) The investigator(s) must then enter the interview room and wait for the participant to join them. (4) The MRI operator with then come to the interview room to invite the investigator(s) and participant through to the scanner suite. It is very likely that a patient will be changing back into their clothes at this time, so please keep conversation professional and to a minimum. (5) If other investigators wish to join the scan session, they may do so only at the discretion of the MRI operator, who will be able to determine whether patients privacy will be compromised by the presence of addition people and will be able to advise when investigators should leave to ensure privacy is maintained. If you find that the interview room has already been reserved, participants may change into scrubs, but must return to and wait in reception with the investigators until they are invited through to the scanner suite by the MRI operator. If investigators are found not to be conforming to this procedure, one of their scan sessions will be used as a training session on how to prepare participants for scanning. Thanks for your help with this. Tony

Booking Changes
by Mark Hymers 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, As of today, there is a small change to the booking system for MEG and MRI at YNiC. Whilst previously, bookings were made on 10-minute intervals, in order to fit the clinical and research booking together more easily, this has now changed, for future bookings, to 15-minute intervals (i.e bookings start and end at 00, 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour). The bookings page (https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/bookings/) has also been changed to show the timings of existing bookings more clearly. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Beamformer Software Update
by Mark Hymers 01 Jun '08

01 Jun '08

Hi, Please be aware that the default behaviour of the beamformer has changed as of 01/06/2008. An artifact has been identified which has now been compensated for. As such, if you have run any beamforming studies prior to 01/06/2008, it is vitally important that you familiarise yourself with the issue of FilterPadding found at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/doc/FilterPadding Any questions should be directed to analysis-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Thanks, Mark (on behalf of the YNiC Staff) -- Mark Hymers York Neuroimaging Centre

Thank you Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

Tuesday 3rd June
by Gary Green 30 May '08

30 May '08

Dear colleagues On Tuesday the 3rd of June from 2pm onwards, YNiC will be reviewed by the University. A committee will be investigating how we operate, talking to users & staff and reviewing our space. If you are thinking of working at YNiC that day, it would help us to have users in the open plan area in case the Committee Members wish to talk about User experiences/research. Of course I cannot guarantee that they will want to do this as we have only been sent a general outline about what they wish to cover in the two and half hour visitation 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. 01904 435349 fax 01904 435356 mobile 07986 778954

4-D Neuorimaging IUGM
by rem 21 May '08

21 May '08

Dear Users The 4-D Neuroimaging International Users' Group Meeting will be held from 13th-15th July. YNiC has been asked to give a number of presentations; one of which is a slot on the "sensory/cognitive roundtable". This will be an excellent opportunity to present exciting MEG results from the YNiC user community to the rest of the 4-D IUGM delegates. Last year three users allowed me to use their data in the presentation. As each speaker at last year's roundtable was only given 6 minutes each to present, I could only include a couple of slides from each user. I envisage that the format will be similar this year and therefore I would only need a couple of slides from any user who would like to share their data. Either Michael Simpson or I will be the YNiC representative on the sensory/cognitive roundtable panel. For now please register any interest in using your data in the roundtable with me. Best wishes Rebecca -- ************************************************************************ Dr. Rebecca E.

I have agreed to collate information on publications and conference presentations reporting YNiC work. The deadline is very tight. Please could you send me ASAP a list of your own papers and presentations, including forthcoming work. One or two papers 'in preparation' would also be helpful. Many thanks Andy -- Professor Andy Ellis Department of Psychology University of York York YO10 5DD England Tel. +44 (0)1904 433140 http://www.york.ac.uk/depts/psych/www/people/biogs/awe1.html
