Dear Users
On Thursday the 25th of January, 2007, YNiC will be closed for the day.
This is so that the YNiC team can review and plan their strategy for the
year.
We apologise for any inconvenience that this might cause.
Later in the year there will be an opportunity for all users to contribute
to discussions of the future plans of YNiC.

Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience of using freesurfer at YNiC?
Is it supported?
Is it possible to run freesurfer on the cluster?

Dear All,
YNiC has introduced an on-line system for managing the submission and
review of applications to the YNiC Research Ethics Committee. To use
the system effectively, it is important that applicants please read the
document entitled 'Guidance on preparing a submission to the YNiC REC'
which can be downloaded from the YNiC web site at:
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/application/so-you-want-to-use-the-…
That guidance explains what documents constitute an ethics application.
It will be important that you submit the correct documents to the
on-line system, if your application is to be processed efficiently.
With thanks best wishes,
Gary Green, Director YNiC
Quentin Summerfield, Chair YNiC REC
The following link contains important information for users.
A Thursday journal club will consider these issues in detail, in late
January.

This Friday we have a group of visitors attending YNiC some time between
11 and noon. The visit is extremely important for us and the University.
When the Open Plan area is busy there is an exciting atmosphere and it
would be good to communicate that to the visitors even if they are only
present for a few minutes. If you happened to be planning to use the
YNiC facilities this week then please consider doing so on Friday
morning as it would help us enormously.
Thank you

Dear All,
I received three responses (please shout if I have ommitted any) to my
enquiry concerning projects (past, present and future) that might assist
us all in bench testing MEG analysis. The project details are described
below and I am hopeful that each of them will inform us on how best to use
the MEG tools that have been developed at YNiC. The projects are also at
different stages of development and this is likely to allow at least some
work to be done in series rather than us spread ourselves too thinly
across three parallel projects. I plan to convene some meetings with each
project team and YNiC staff to establish how to move forward on each
project. These meetings will take the same form as the brain storming
sessions that we are now running for project teams. The first of these
was run recently and by all accounts was a successful and enjoyable
activity. If you could let me know when (usually a Wednesday afternoon
from 4pm) you are available to meet, that would be very helpful.
Many thanks for responding.
Tony
