This Week at YNiC

Hello Everyone, *YNiC Closure* YNiC will be closed between the *19th of December and 9th of January*. This will include access to the scanners, user support and open plan. The remote desktop will remain available throughout this time period (users will be notified if any planned maintenance to the remote desktop will stop access). *Changes to Procedures* Participants are no longer required to sign the 'Covid Consent Form' when taking part in experiments at YNiC. *YNiC User Inductions* If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our next induction will be *Wednesday the 7th of December, at 10:00*. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. *Level 0 operator training* *The next L0 training session will be held on Wednesday the 14 of December, 13:00-15:00. * Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal submitted to YNiC. Please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any questions or wish to book on to this session. Please note that sessions are limited to 4 trainees, which will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Training must be booked at least a week before the session date, in order to reserve the scanner booking. *YNiC Seminar* The next YNiC seminar will be *tomorrow* *(1st of December) *with a talk from *Matthew Westerman *from the University of Huddersfield, with a talk titled "*An investigation into the relationship between the occipital cortex and choice behaviour under ambiguous conditions*".
