GE Scanner update
by Mark Hymers 18 May '17

18 May '17

Hi all, The attached picture shows the GE scanner just after 5pm. Unsurprisingly, this means that we will not be scanning tomorrow. We are awaiting a part (arriving later this evening) and engineers will be on-site this evening and tomorrow continuing to work on the problem. We are currently discussing the effect that this has had on MSc scanning and will write to students and supervisors once the scanner is available again to let them know what arrangements we are making to make sure we get all of the scanning done. More updates tomorrow. Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers, Lecturer in Neuroimaging Methods York NeuroImaging Centre and Department of Psychology University of York, UK Please note that my email address is: mark.hymers(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Responses to messages sent to other addresses may be delayed

Apologies, All, another day, another update. The GE engineers replaced a number of parts today, but have still to fix the problem. They return tomorrow to do more work to remedy our problem. I hope to be able to relay more positive news soon. Best wishes Toby

Hello All, As some of you may already know, we have had some issues with the GE scanner. GE attended Friday and today. They have made some progress. We are running tests this afternoon to check that data collection can resume from tomorrow. We are resuming testing the MEG scanner in collaboration with York Instruments. More news on this should emerge through June. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

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 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

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
