Dear ynic-users
It is good to see that many of you are now using the online booking form
for MEG and MRI.
https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/user-resources/booking
We hope the new procedure is easier than the old method of using email
and/or phone.
There is a small problem though which we would like to bring to your
attention. When you use the online form, you should still wait for
confirmation from Claire Fox by email that your session has been booked.
This is because several people could, in theory, attempt to book the
same hour.
Another problem is that some people are attempting to book a session at
night for the next day. This is not practical as we need to ensure that
an operator is available, that the scanners are available and that all
stimulus delivery issues, ethics, and consent are all in place.
Please can we ask users to try and book their sessions before the
Thursday of the week before they wish to use the scanners.
Of course we do not want the scanners to be idle and the resource to be
wasted, so, if you want to make a last minute booking and all the
practical aspects of scanning are in place, then please ring Claire to
discuss the possibility of using the scanners. The key thing then will
be availability of operators.
