Hi there,
There is a *slot available from 15:45 until 17:00 tomorrow in the Siemens*
in case you anyone is interested.
The slot is currently booked for my project (P1370). However, the
participant scheduled is not willing to come tomorrow for his second day of
scanning and -because of the experimental design- we cannot recruit anyone
new at this point.
If you interested in booking the slot please email @Joe Lyons
<joe.lyons(a)york.ac.uk> and he will be able to update the booking.
Cheers,…

Hi all
Don't forget that tomorrow (Friday 12th) is your last day to get Level 3
signatures for participants that are being scanned next week.
Please bring your relevant consent forms (with appropriate information
regarding the safety issue) to the staff office *before midday* on Friday.
Kind regards
Lauren

Hi everyone
There are a couple of things you should be aware of over the coming weeks:
1. The GE scanner is now fully operational, so scanning slots can be
booked. Thanks again for your patience during the unexpected downtime.
2. A large proportion of YNiC staff will be away for the MEG UK
conference from Monday 15th to Wednesday 17th April, and therefore support
will be limited during this period.
*Specifically, if you need Level 3 signatures for any scanning on these
…
[View More]days they must be obtained no later than 12th April (n.b. signatures should
always be arranged before the scan day). *
3.
*YNiC will be closed for the Bank Holidays on 19th and 22nd April *
4. We have provisionally scheduled our next User Induction for Thursday
18th April at 10am, subject to availability and interest. Please ask any
relevant students/staff to email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up if
they intend to start using the centre.
Hope you have a great week!
Cheers,
Lauren

Hello everyone,
Things to note this week:
1. The *GE* scanner requires a replacement cold head and so will be
*unavailable
until Wednesday the 3rd of April at the earliest. *
2. YNiC was closed for maintenance last week, this included IT upgrades
with security patching and fibre work, adjustments to the security alarm
system, and a layout change. The central meeting room off open plan is now
an extension to the staff office.
* Consent debriefing and other private …
[View More]interviews should be carried out in
the small sound-proof room opposite the PhD office in open plan, or the
interview room on the MRI corridor. *
3. YSPL will be doing maintenance on IT systems this week, however, this
is not expected to affect uses.
4. A large cohort of YNiC staff will be away for the MEG UK conference
15-17th of April.
*Signatures for conditional exceptions on consent forms for 15th-17th of
April must be organized for no later than the 12th of April. We would also
like to remind users that exceptions in consent forms should be arranged in
advance of the scan day in all cases. *
5. We have provisionally scheduled our next *User Induction on Thursday
the 18th of April at 10am*. Subject to availability and interest.
Please ask any relevant students/staff to email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk

Best wishes,
