MEG at YNiC

Dear YNiC users, As many of you will know, the MEG system at YNiC suffered a technical failure last year that has prevented us from offering MEG facilities for some time. We have designed and fitted new electronics to rectify the fault, and more recently, we have undertaken testing to establish that we can reliably collect good quality data. This work is now complete, and the MEG system is once again ready to make recordings. As such, we are now offering MEG recording facilities with the proviso that the system has not yet undergone long-term testing, so we are unable to guarantee reliability. However, we can offer the assurance that in the event that recordings are spoiled due to equipment failures, projects will be reimbursed all charges. We are doing everything within our power to ensure the ongoing quality of MEG recordings: the stability of the power supply is constantly being monitored, and regular quality assurance recordings are being performed. As ever, we advise that researchers inspect their data as soon as possible after collection and let us know if they have any concerns. I will contact users who we know are waiting to run MEG projects separately to make arrangements to commence recording, and we welcome any new project applications. If you would like any further information regarding MEG at YNiC, please contact us at support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk .
