Dear all,
We like to have posters in the YNiC open plan area that represent the
diversity of research we conduct at YNiC. If you have any recent posters
you would be happy to have displayed, please bring them in and give them
to one of the YNiC staff. That way we can keep things a bit more up to date!
Best wishes,
Aidan

Hi everyone,
This is a reminder that this week (Friday 8th March, 11.30am, YNiC) we
have our next "Cogs" meeting. If you are not already familiar with Cogs it
is a cognitive science discussion group open to undergrads, academics,
masters students, postdocs, research staff, PhD students, YNiC staff and
basically anyone with an interest in cognitive neuroscience at the
University of York. Cogs meetings are a distinctive format designed to
generate informal and lively discussion about topics …
[View More]that excite and
inspire us.
Friday's session will be led by Adam Curtis who'll be talking about *The
Temporal Dynamics of Schema-mediated Memory Processing.*
If you'd like to present a Cogs session, if you have ideas for topics that
would be good to hear about , or if you want to find out what others are
suggesting please take a look at the discussion board, or email us.
*discussion board: *
*https://cogs.ynic.york.ac.uk/ <https://cogs.ynic.york.ac.uk/>*
*email the organizers (Tom Hartley, Beth Jefferies) by email
at cogs(a)ynic.york.ac.uk <cogs(a)ynic.york.ac.uk>*.
We normally send out reminders via the ynic-users mailing list, but you may
not have received them if you are not already registered at YNiC; let us
know if you'd like to be kept informed.
See you at Cogs!

Hello
We'll be taking the YNiC IT systems offline on *Tuesday 5th March *at *9am*
while electrical contractors test the power circuits in the server room. We
expect the work to take no more that 30 minutes. This will affect all IT
services including remote desktop and the cluster.
Thanks

Dear all,
As mentioned in the recent Psychology staff meeting, we have now made an
office in YNiC available for everyone to use. There are 3 desks in the
office, 2 with YNiC desktop PCs and one is a hot desk with a single
USB-C plugin. The office is the first one on the left as you come into
the open plan area in YNiC. If you would like to spend more time in YNiC
but want a bit more privacy than the open plan area allows for, then
this is the space for you!
For now the room isn't …
[View More]bookable. We will see how the room is used and by
whom over the coming months and can reassess whether it should be a
bookable space in the future. The main message is, come spend some time
in YNiC and talk to us about your awesome research plans!
Best wishes,
Aidan

Hi All,
The Siemens scanner has developed a serious fault this afternoon, and it is
not currently operational. An engineer has inspected the system and
diagnosed the issue, but unfortunately the repair will take some time. We
have been advised that the scanner will not be functional next week (26/2 -
1/3).
Please ensure that you contact all the participants that you have scheduled
to scan next week, to let them know that their scan sessions will have to
be cancelled and rescheduled for a …
[View More]later date. We apologise for the
substantial disruption, unfortunately this is an age-related fault that
could not be prevented.
We will do everything we can to get the scanner up and running as soon as
possible, and we will keep you updated as soon as we know when it will be
available again.
Best Wishes,
Rich
