Hi all,
* Please join us at YNiC this Thursday at 4pm where there will at least
2 project presentations from the Smallwood / Jefferies Labs:
"Understanding the gridlike encoding of associative information" -
Deniz Vatansever
"Understanding the neural basis of spontaneous thought" - Charlotte
Murphy
"TBC" - Jonny Smallwood *
* Work on the YNiC reception continues this week, and we hope to resume
service as usual ASAP. We will keep you updated but, for now, please
continue to use the Biocentre entrance.

Hello All,
The work at YNiC has started this morning. Today's work will create a
considerable amount of noise. I'll update you on when we anticipate other
disruptions through the week.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi
We're still seeing issue with the Matlab license in YNiC. We're waiting to
hear from IT Services and will update when we get more information.
Thanks

Hello all,
Apologies for the late notice - there will be a project proposal at 1030
today, not 4pm. This is due to a clash with a meeting in Psychology.
Best wishes

Dear All,
We are planning some refurbishments to the YNiC reception. We are
currently booked in for the start of the works 17th July. This work will
mean that reception is not available and that entry to YNiC should be
through the Biocentre doors. We hope to be able to honour scans booked,
but please allow additional time to obtain the appropriate forms for your
participants during the closure of reception as temporary arrangements will
be in place that may cause delays.
We also have a training course 18th July and will not be able to perform
any scanning that day. Open plan will be open as usual, however.
Best wishes
Tony

Dear All,
Apologies, I in a previous email I indicated a presentation would be made
this week, which is, in fact, going to be held next week - 13th July at 4pm.
Best wishes

Dear All,
We are upgrading the reception area this month. The current date penciled
in is the week commencing 17th July. Open plan will be accessible from the
Biocentre entrance. Further announcements about potential interruption of
scanning may be forthcoming, but at the moment research scanning can
continue.
We have a project presentation by Becca Kitching this week.
Best wishes

Hi All,
I'd like to gather expressions of interest for those those who would be
interested in attending a 'MrVista - Population Receptive Field Mapping'
workshop at YNiC.
For those of you not familiar with mrVista, it is a MATLAB interface for
analysing functional and anatomical MRI data, based on the Vistasoft
toolbox developed by Stanford University, whilst population receptive field
(pRF) mapping is a form of retinotopic mapping, where we compute a model of
pRFs and visual field maps within the visual cortex (Dumoulin, S. O., &
Wandell, B. A. (2008). Population receptive field estimates in human visual
cortex. *NeuroImage*, *39*(2), 647–660. https://www.ncbi.nlm.
nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3073038/).
The aim of the workshop is to familiarise yourself with fMRI analysis using
mrVista and learn how to conduct visual field mapping using the pRF method
- including data collection/running stimuli, structural processing and
segmentation, pre-processing, running the model, localising visual field
maps, and plotting data.
The workshop will run over 3 days at YNiC open plan and each session will
cover both theory and practical. All required data and software will be
supplied.
Dates scheduled are:
*Monday 31st July* 9:30am - 5pm
*Tuesday 1st August* 9:30am - 5pm
*Monday 7th August* 9:30am - 5pm
Please let me know if you are interested in attending or have any
questions. Thanks.
Best,
Marc

Hello YNIC users,
We are trying to gauge interest in the use of large scale data sets by
users of the imaging centre. There are a growing number of open access data
sets that contain data from large samples of participants with phenotypical
data and a range of brain imaging measures (often resting state as well as
task data). I have added links to two of these data sets that I have had
experience using and publishing data from.
It would be very helpful if users who thought that this kind of data would
be beneficial to their ongoing work could get in contact with me. This
would allow the centre to get a sense of how many people would be
interested in using these types of data.
Thanks,
Jonny
