[ynic-users] This Week at YNiC

Hello, Please see details below regarding upcoming inductions, training sessions, this week's COGS session and planned scanner downtime. *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 on *Tuesday the 5th of November, at 10:00am*. 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 6th of November, 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. *COGS: Wednesday, 11am at YNiC* This week's COGS session will be from myself, where we will discuss *"Brain stimulation at YNiC: a guide for complete beginners"* looking at the equipment we have at YNiC and how you could use it. Please join us at YNiC for the session, all staff and students are very welcome. If you are interested in leading a COGS session or giving a Seminar talk, please get in touch (jennifer.ashton(a)york.ac.uk). You can see the full YNiC events schedule here: www.ynic.york.ac.uk/events. *Planned Scanner Maintenance* The MRI scanner will be unavailable between the 15th and 17th (inclusive) of October, while we have some essential maintenance completed. There will be no disruption to user support, MEG, access to open plan or the remote desktop. *YNiC Drop-In - Wednesday afternoons* On Wednesday afternoons, there will be a YNiC research tech (or two) working out in open plan. If you are struggling with something, or would prefer to ask for help in person, this would be the perfect time to come and work over in YNiC, have a chat and get some help :) (This is in addition to our usual support ticketing system, and of course you can come and knock on the office door at any time!) Have a great week! Many thanks, Jennifer -- Jennifer Ashton, PhD Senior Research Technician York Neuroimaging Centre
