Dear All, We are having some work done in the MRI suite 12th May, which means the centre will be closed for scanning. Open Plan will be Open, however. YNiC staff will be attending a training event, so there will be no reception or staff cover 12th May. Sorry for the short notice - the contractor only gave us this lead period for the work. Thanks Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

MRI projection screen upgrade

by Andre Gouws

We have now upgraded the projection screen material in MRI and this will be the default screen in the scanner moving forward. Many of the existing projects that use "lower-level" calibration routines or are dependent on the use of the polarizer HAVE ALREADY BEEN USING THIS "NEW" SCREEN MATERIAL. Note that the "old" screens are still available for use by existing projects that have already acquired data - just remember that these screens will no longer be pre-loaded into the scanner by default and you will need to load them yourselves. As usual, if you have any queries, please drop me a line. -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356

Dear all, 1) The Deputy VC & Provost, Professor Saul Tendler, will be visiting YNiC between 09:30 and 10:30 on Thursday the 20th of April. Please feel free to join us here at the center and showcase your research. 2) The Siemens scanner is now use and a couple of projects are being used to finalize our data acquisition and processing streams, as well as develop our training program. As such we are on schedule to meet our target date to start using the scanner routinely. 3) Reminder: the open-plan area at YNiC will be open for use next week (w/c 10 April) but that no user support will be available as the team will be working on consolidating a number of outstanding issues and internal development projects. 4) Housekeeping: Although we want you to feel "at home" when you're here at YNiC, please be professional. Specific examples this week include (1) always wear shoes when you're in the center (don't walk around in bare feet or socks) and (2) do not use the clinical patient preparations areas (especially the one on the MRI corridor) as communal kitchens. -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws York Neuroimaging Centre University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY Tel: +44 (0) 1904 435327 Fax: +44 (0) 1904 435356
