Hi all,
GE have now completed maintenance on the GE and the system is available
for booking.
The system should operate normally - if you do encounter any problems
please contact one of the YNiC team.
Thanks,

Hi All,
We have a project presentation this week at 4pm, Thursday 1st February.
Holly Brown will be talking about 'Exploring connectivity in individuals
with visual loss'.
Unfortunately, our GE scanner is down at present. A large component in the
system has failed and based on previous experience the problem can take a
week to fix. We are liaising with the GE engineers and will be in touch
with further updates.
Tip of the week: When booking the scanners, please enter the participant
ID. If you do the appropriate forms will be printed out for your booking,
which saves you and the staff at YNiC time.
Best wishes
Tony

Hello All,
The seminar this week (Thursday at 4pm) will be given by Andre Gouws: Why
PsychoPy?
This will be of particular value to those of you wanting to design and
present stimuli for scanning. Demos and examples to try will be given.
Refreshments will follow.
For further details on seminars, please see
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/events/thursday-sessions (note loggin into the
website may be required to access the information).
Tip of the week: use the cluster to speed up your analysis. See the
following URL for details.

Also, if you are having issues with things, please email:
support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk

Hello all,
Please let me know if there are any issues that you would like raised at
this months meeting of the YNIC Science Committee meeting. Just in case you
forgot this is a chance for users, or potential users, to raise issues that
they would like to be considered by YNIC moving forward. Please contact me
by Friday if you have anything you would like to be discussed.
Best wishes

Hello All,
This week's seminar will be allocated to a project presentation:
*'The relationship between emotion regulation and mind-wandering'* - Haakon
Engen & Jonny Smallwood
It will start at 4pm on Thursday, 18th January.
Could I remind investigators to have their participants registered 24 hours
before any scan appointment. Otherwise, we can't guarantee that we will be
able to register the participant in time for their scan appointment.
Finally, we are hosting a school visit on the afternoon of 17th between
1230 and 330pm. As part of the visit there will be talks in open plan. We
will therefore be closing open plan for a few hours to allow things to run
smoothly. Apologies and thanks for your co-operation.
Best wishes

Hello All,
Happy New Year from all of us at YNiC!
The YNiC Seminar Series will resume next week, 4pm, 18th January, with a
talk by Haakon Engen, from the MRC CBU, Cambridge. The title will follow,
but Haakon has collaborated with Jonny Smallwood, who is hosting him, so I
expect the talk may include some work on resting state fMRI.
Over the Christmas break, we successfully upgraded the servers and
cluster. The cluster's performance has been improved by some
optimization. It is hoped that the work we've done will therefore improve
functionality. If you do have any bugs that arise, please get in touch
support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk.
Best wishes

Hi All,
Some more details about the talk today.
Koen Haak
*Title*: Connectopic mapping with resting state fMRI
*Abstract*: How does the organisation of the human brain in terms of its
connectivity subserve cognitive and perceptual processes? In this talk, I
will give an overview of my work on mapping individualised connection
topographies based on the spontaneous brain activity fluctuations that
occur when a subject is at rest (resting-state fMRI). I will demonstrate
that these connection topographies predict subject-by-subject differences
in behaviour and I will discuss how this approach opens up the possibility
of studying the neural underpinnings of human perception and cognition
across thousands of individuals, from neonates to the elderly, in health
and disease.
Best wishes

Hello All,
We have a visitor, Koen Haak, who will be giving a talk about his modelling
work. He has developed 'Connective Field' modelling for fMRI and applied
it to the visual system and more generally. He'll start at 4pm Thursday
and we will be heading out for a meal afterwards, if anyone would like to
join us.
Upcoming closures and changes to access to the centre:
1. December 13 -15th. We will be closed. There will be no access to
the centre other than for staff. We will be performing IT server
upgrades. This will also mean that all remote services will be unavailable.
2. Week Commencing 18th December. There will be no operator slots
during this week. We will be managing the year end issues associated with
the period of closure for the Christmas break.
3. Week Commencing 25th December. The centre will be closed. No access
will be possible. Remote services will be available.
4. YNiC will open 2nd January and operator cover will commence 4th
January.
5. Week Commencing 8th January normal service resumes
Something to note: The university spam filters have been diverting many
messages to YNIC-Users to spam folders. We have updated things at our end,
so hope this will no longer occur.
