This Week at YNiC
by Lauren Welbourne 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Hi everyone I hope you are all doing well this week. As you might expect, we don't have any new announcements for you, so here are the usual reminders, and a link to our Thursday Journal Club talk for this week (that's right, we've already picked it this week!). *Logging out of the Remote Desktop* We would like to remind users about the importance of *logging out* to end remote desktop sessions at the end of the day. You should treat the remote desktop in the same way as the open plan PCs, and log out as you normally would once you finish for the day (i.e. Applications > Log Out) - once you've logged out your session should automatically terminate, but if not, you should also terminate the session on the x2go client. *Support* If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly. *YNiC Journal Club - Thursday 4pm* This week the talk we will be watching together is the Keynote lecture from OHBM 2019 by Roshan Cools, title: "Chemistry of the Adaptive Mind" ( https://www.pathlms.com/ohbm/courses/12238/sections/15844/video_presentatio… ) We will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of the YNiC staff will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, add comments in the zoom chat, or just discuss it at the end. Note that there is no pressure to have your mic or video on at any time during or after the talk (you also don't need to watch it in advance).

As usual, we haven't decided on the video yet, but what I will do is add the YouTube link to the zoom meeting title once we have decided (in case you want to see what's on the agenda before attending the Journal Club). The plan is that we will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of us will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, or just discuss it at the end.

Hi everyone I hope you enjoyed the extended Bank Holiday weekend (despite the limited options for activities!). YNiC staff are continuing to maintain the centre (on an alternating schedule to maintain social distancing) to ensure that MEG helium fills, MRI scanner DQAs, and Backups are performed regularly. We have a couple of points we would like to make YNiC users aware of today: *Closing Remote Desktop Sessions* Once you have finished your remote desktop sessions for the day, whenever possible please log out and shutdown your session (rather than just suspending). *Support* If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly. *YNiC Journal Club - Thursday 4pm* This week we will be watching a YouTube video of a talk given by Kendrick Kay at the OSA Fall Vision Meeting in 2017, titled: "Bottom-up and Top-down computations in word- and face-selective cortex". The plan is that we will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of us will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, or just discuss it at the end.

Hi all I hope everyone is staying safe and well. As you may have seen, the University is adding an extra two days to the Easter holiday this weekend, so the University will be closed from Wednesday 8th to Monday 13th April. Therefore, YNiC user support will also be unavailable over that period. You will still be able to use the remote desktop, if you wish. More hard work from Joe, Mark and Rich last week means that we've now increased our remote desktop capacity even further. However, to ensure that everyone can make use of the remote desktop, please note that any large analyses must *only *be run on the cluster, and not directly on the remote desktop. Any users that do not use the remote desktop responsibly will have their sessions terminated by our IT team, so please adhere to this restriction. Please see the information and further page links here: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/Cluster. I hope you are able to enjoy some work-free time over the bank holiday weekend! In the meantime, if you are experiencing any technical issues please send us a ticket at support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, with screenshots and details of the errors. All the best Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY

YNiC Journal Club - today 4pm
by Lauren Welbourne 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hi everyone Apologies for the delay in sending you the paper for this week. Alex Wade will be presenting the attached paper by Tyler, Lani and Hwang (2018), Ultrasonic modulation of neural circuit activity, Current Opinion in Neurobiology. The link to the google hangout is here: https://meet.google.com/mzy-titj-yrq Last week we had a little chat at the start, but mainly had cameras and mic's off so that it was easier to hear the presenter, so we'll go for that method again this time. See you (sort of) at 4pm! Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY

Hi everyone I hope everyone is doing OK? As you might expect, we don't really have much YNiC news for you these days! If you experience any issues with the remote desktop that cannot be resolved by the troubleshooting section on the wiki ( https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/RemoteDesktop), please send us a ticket to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk and include screenshots and details of the error. For any other assistance, please make sure you also use the support ticket system, rather than an individual's email address, so we can make sure messages don't get missed. We had a great Journal Club last Thursday, presented by Theo, and we hope to keep these going. Please let me know if there is a paper you find interesting and would like to present. This is the link to the google hangout, for Thursdays at 4pm: https://meet.google.com/mzy-titj-yrq . We haven't got a paper for this week yet but I'll keep you posted. Take care, Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY

Hi everyone For those that are interested, we are starting a YNiC Journal Club on Thursday's at 4pm during this period of social distancing and isolation. This week, Theo has selected the following paper: Andrew Quinn et al (2018) Task-Evoked Dynamic Network Analysis Through Hidden Markov Modeling https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2018.00603/full This event link should (hopefully) show you a link for joining a 'hangout', so follow that at 4pm on Thursday if you'd like to join us for a chat about the paper (or just for some social interaction!). Unfortunately we can't provide refreshments for this virtual event, but feel free to bring your own along.

Hi everyone I hope everyone is managing OK with social distancing and the various challenges that it creates. Joe and Mark have been working hard to increase our remote desktop capacity for users - we had a few teething issues which have been mostly resolved. If you haven't yet connected to the remote desktop please make sure you read the instructions here https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/RemoteDesktop, and ensure you are first connected to the University VPN before connecting to the YNiC remote desktop; note that we have extended access to all users now. As usual, if you are experiencing any issues with the remote desktop that cannot be resolved by the troubleshooting section in the above page, please send us a ticket to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk and include screenshots and details of the errors you are experiencing. Please be reminded that YNiC is closed to users, and projects that have been impacted by the cancelled scans should submit a scan reimbursement form to support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk, if they haven't already done so (you can find this form at the bottom of this page https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/forms ). YNiC staff are working from home but we are doing a daily check-in of the centre, as well as essential maintenance work on the scanners twice a week. Stay safe everyone, and wash your hands. :-) All the best Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY

Update to remote access
by Antony Morland 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Dear all, We have identified an issue with the latest X2Go remote desktop client which prevents people from connecting to their remote sessions. To work around this issue, you will need to use a specific version of the client rather than the latest one. We have updated the wiki page with details for new users (https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/RemoteDesktop) For existing users, you can check which version of the X2Go client you have by going to Help -> About X2Go Client. The version number will be listed there as 4.x.y.z. If you do not have 4.1.2.0 or 4.1.2.1, please follow the re-install instructions below. * On Windows, find "Add or Remove Programs" in System settings, find "X2go Client for Windows" and choose Uninstall * On Mac, right click on the X2goClient application and "Move to Trash" Now re-install the correct version. For Windows, this is 4.1.2.0 and for Mac this is 4.1.2.1. We have included direct links below, but you can also navigate to https://code.x2go.org/releases and then find the correct version from there. If using a Mac, please ensure to get the right version for your Mac OS version. * Windows: https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.1.2.0-201… * Mac 10.13 or later: https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient/main/4.1.2.1/x2gocl… * Mac 10.11 or 10.12: https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient/main/4.1.2.1/x2gocl… * Mac 10.9 or 10.10: https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient/main/4.1.2.1/x2gocl… Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks, -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.
