ASK - AUDITORY fMRI at YNiC - 27th of March
by Andre Gouws 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Dear colleagues, _Auditory stimulus delivery in fMRI._ This ASK session will be held at 4:30 pm on Thursday the 27th of March. This is a change from the original scheduling of Wednesday the 19th of March. We will confirm the venue, but hope to host the session in B020 as before. Remember that these sessions are intended to be a forum where you can air your concerns, share your expertise and request a wish list for solutions to be provided at (not necessarily by!) YNiC. We hope to see you there. Regards, Andre' ************************************************************************ Andre Gouws User Support Manager York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5DG Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435328 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

by Gary Green 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Welcome to 'Brain Awareness Week 2008'! - an annual opportunity for neuroscientists across the globe to focus on celebrating and communicating progress in brain science to the public. Coordinated in the UK by the European Dana Alliance for the Brain (www.edab.net <http://www.edab.net/> ), one of the events is... ---- National Brain Science Writing Prize 2008. In collaboration with EDAB, At-Bristol and Focus magazine, the BNA is launching a competition this week to find the best brain communicators. Could you write a newspaper-style article celebrating the amazing world of brain science? To find out more, contact: www.youramazingbrain.org <http://www.youramazingbrain.org/> . Closing date for entries: 30th June, 2008. -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park York YO10 5DG tel (+44) (0) 1904 435349 fax (+44) (0) 1904 435356 mobile 07986778954

YNiC today
by Gary Green 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Dear colleagues Last week we held a YNiC Thursday seminar on using Unix on the Macs. The attendance was quite low suggesting that Users probably had enough knowledge on this topic for them to be able to do what they needed at that level of computing. The original idea was that the session would continue this week but as we have had apologies even from those who had attended last week, it seems that we should not hold today's seminar. So, NO seminar today. Next week there will be a new project presentation, 4pm, Thursday the 13th, YNiC open plan. All welcome 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

URGENT : Scratch space
by Gary Green 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Dear colleagues As you know we have been encouraging users to use their 'scratch' disc space for temporary files and as a workspace for intermediate analysis. We monitor the total usage of this space daily and it is growing very rapidly. We predict that this space will run out in a few days if we do not act. The majority of the usage is by just a few users but, please, if you have a large amount of data/information in scratch, can you look at it and endeavour to delete anything that is redundant. If we do not do this then the systems will fail. One way of getting around these problems is to use a group space for your project. Group scratch is not used much and is an efficient way of sharing information without it having to be duplicated by each user, within a group, in their own scratch space. If your project does not have a group scratch directory then please email it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk 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

MEG now available
by Gary Green 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Dear Colleagues MEG is now up and running again. You can now book your MEG sessions again through Claire. It looks as though the Polhemus failed due to a fault in an serial line isolator. So the whole system failed due to a £5 component. Sorry! While we were waiting for a delivery of a new Polhemus system and the engineeer, the YNiC team took the opportunity to reorganise the MEG equipment room. The equipment and cables have been tidied, labelled and organised. Please do not change anything in the equipment room as there is now actually no need to change cables or equipment. The camera has also been moved in the MSR (magnetically shielded room) and it is now possible to monitor your subjects during an experiment even if you are using the large screen. Please remember to tell your subjects that they are being monitored. Happy MEGing 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

Today at YNiC
by Gary Green 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Dear colleagues Today we are being visited by the VC, the pro-VC for research and Sir David Cooksey. David Cooksey wrote the recent government report on medical research which has resulted in the setting up of the National Institute of Medical Research and the integration of the NHS R&D programme with the MRC. His current main interests are concerned with translational research. If ...., you were thinking of visiting YNiC yourself today then it would help us if you happened to be present in open plan between 1.30 and 2.15 with some interesting images on the screen. If anyone is doing experiments within MRI or MEG then please be prepared to have visitors ask some questions about what you are doing. Of course I cannot predict if they will visit, whether they will be on time or whether they will actually stop as we walk through open plan. thank you Gary -- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park York YO10 5DG tel (+44) (0) 1904 435349 fax (+44) (0) 1904 435356 mobile 07986778954

YNiC ASC - March 19th - Auditory fMRI
by Michael Simpson 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Dear all, this is just a quick mailing to advertise a YNiC ASC on March 19th. It will be on the subject of Auditory fMRI, and will be chaired by Quentin Summerfield. Should you want to contribute anything to the agenda, please email Quentin in advance <aqs1(a)york.ac.uk>. Otherwise, simply come along and join in the discussion. As before, a short digest of the YNiC ASC will be emailed to ynic-users a few days after the session. Nearer the time, Quentin will forward an agenda (i.e. once it has been established). And as before, the session will take place in Psychology B020, at 4pm. Thanks, Michael -- Dr Michael Simpson Science Liaison Officer York Neuroimaging Centre Innovation Way York YO10 5DG Tel: 01904 567614 Web: http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk

Thursday Seminar
by Sam Johnson 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

Hello all, Just a reminder and a little more information about this Thursday's Seminar at YNiC. Mark has prepared an introduction to Unix that I will do my very best to translate into something we mere mortals can understand. This week we'll be covering some of the generic basics, including the permissions problem I know has been an issue of late. There'll also be information on some simple command line tools and the basics of scripting. Next week we'll be looking at YNiC specific information, including some useful hints and tips that will hopefully help to save you time and blood pressure. Thanks, Sam

MEG at YNiC : current status
by Gary Green 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

Dear colleagues I am sorry to have to announce that MEG is not working. We have had a problem since late last week with the Polhemus system which is needed for co-registration of the data with MRI. We thought we had fixed it over the weekend but it is now clear that we have to have a new unit flown in from San Diego. We will also need to get 4D engineers to attend to fix the problem as it is not simply one of replacing the unit. Unfortunately this means that MEG may be unavailable until the middle of next week. I know this is going to be a major inconvenience as MEG is currently very busy. As soon as it is working again we will let you know and will help you rebook or reorganise your time in MEG. We will almost certainly have to organise block booking so that several participants can be scanned one after the other to get through the backlog. The MEG system itself is working fine! Projects are stalled because of a piece of equipment that costs less than 1% of the original MEG cost. Sorry, Gary -- Gary Green Director 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
