Dear All
I will attempt to chair a discussion this Wednesday (11th) at 4pm on
virtual electrode analysis in MEG. The meeting is the first of the
proposed YNiC Analysis Support Colloquia looking at current and
future needs for data analysis (MRI as well as MEG). The meeting
will take place in the Psychology
lecture theatre (B020), NOT in YNiC.
Virtual electrode analyses probe individual points in the brain.
They potentially allow you to chart the response at that location
over time, taking full advantage of the capacity of MEG to record
changes over time with millisecond accuracy. Some of us feel,
possibly naively, that the ability to do virtual electrode analyses
at a group as well as an individual level is all that stands between
us and world domination.
Piers will begin by demonstrating some group level analyses that he
and colleagues have done as part of an MEG study that included
written words, consonant strings and faces as stimuli. The aim of
the session, however, is not to discuss the meaning of different
studies, but what what forms of virtual electrode analysis are
possible, and what we could hope to learn from them.
If you have attempted any virtual electrode analyses, or think that
you may want to do some in future, please bring them along. Anyone
who has any results to share is welcome to bring along some slides.
So that's Wednesday at 4pm in Psychology B020.

Dear all,
This is just to confirm that Andy Ellis will be chairing the first YNiC
Analysis Support Colloquia on Wednesday February 13th. The session will
take place in B020 at 4pm.
Andy will forward an agenda in due course which will detail the specific
questions he will raise in the session. However, following his previous
mailing to ynic-users, the general topic of the session will be Virtual
Electrode Analysis of MEG data.
We look forward to seeing you there. Here's hoping for a good turnout at
the inaugural session of what we hope will be a mutually beneficial
series of colloquia.
Thanks,
Michael

Dear all,
this is just a reminder that the MEG masterclass will take place
tomorrow. A number of you contacted Andre at the start of the
masterclasses to let him know that you are likely to attend these
sessions. If you haven't previously let him know of your interest for
the MEG class, and would like to attend, please contact *me* so that we
can have a rough idea of numbers.
The session will take place from 2.30 till 5.00 in Open Plan.
Thanks,
Michael

Plastic bags and paper work have been left on the bed in the MRI corridor.
Please ensure that your projects are aware that this is a clinical area
and needs to remain clean and tidy.
Will you please also remind students that any scrubs worn need to be put
in the laundry bin.
Thank you
Dear All,
I am copying Claire's message to all users, so that everyone is aware of
the need to keep the MRI corridor clear of debris.
Thanks

I would like to re-iterate (see my previous email of 21/01/08):
"MSc students with timetable commitment that prevent them attending the
masterclasses should be aware that it is our intention to run a separate
session(s) for the MSc program. (Date to be confirmed)."
Sylvia - we are happy to liaise with you on this.

Thank you to those of you who replied to my previous emails requesting
that you contact us if you intend to attend any/all of the current
masterclasses.
We have had a low response in terms of attendance for this week's MRI
session (so far only 5 interested parties).
Those 5 five will be glad to know that we fully intend to continue with
the session - the tutorials will be even more interactive than usual if
the numbers are smaller!
However, it would be naive of me to ignore the feedback from some that
suggests that committing 2 1/2 hours on a Thursday afternoon is difficult
for some of you. As such a minor revision to Thursday's program is
proposed:
The session will be split into 2 halves -
Session 1: 2.30 - 4.00
- an introduction to the FSL software environment;
- a full single subject AND across subject (group) fMRI analysis
tutorial with worked examples;
- examples of manipulating data - co-registration, averaging,
extracting time-series (with user supplied examples), extracting brains
Session 2: 4.00 - 5.00
- an introduction to the more weird and wonderful tools in fsl
- exploring fMRI data without a model .. ICA
- comparing spatial differences between groups - TBSS and VBM
- exploring connectivity with DTI data
- again, session will involve worked examples and user interaction with
scripts
Hopefully splitting the session will help those of you limited by time to
attend at least part of the afternoon, and allow those of you who are only
interested in basic fMRI processing / newer features to attend the times
most suitable for you.
Please do let us know if you intend to attend .. it makes our lives easier!
Thanks.

You will all be pleased to hear that we now have a certificate that
states that the oxygen level in MEG is 20.9%
The oxygen monitor has also been shown to detect and alarm when the
level is low (18%).
What this really means is that the oxygen monitor has been calibrated.
It is now safe to scan again in MEG
Thanks to 4D Neuroimaging, Joanna and Maribel who help sort this out so
quickly
