MEG at YNIC - only 2 weeks remaining (with current system)

Hi all, We are coming to the end of an era. The "4D / York Instruments / Aveyard Industries" hybrid MEG scanner that was originally commissioned in 2004 will be allowed to warm up (and thus stop working) as we reach the end of our allocated liquid helium supply in 2 weeks time. Firstly, this is a last call for anyone currently using the system to wrap up ASAP. Contact us if you need support. Second, for those interested in using MEG at YNiC in the future, the replacement MEG system (Optical pump magnetometers; no liquid Helium so more sustainable [and affordable]) has been funded through the University's Capital Investment Scheme is being ordered and commissioned as we speak - we hope to have it up and running from Q2 2024. Best wishes, -- André ************************************************************************ André Gouws PhD Lead Technical Specialist York Neuroimaging Centre and York Diagnostic Imaging Departmental Safety Advisor - Dept. of Psychology University of York The Biocentre York Science Park Heslington YO10 5NY
