Hi everyone Just a couple of things we wanted to let you know about this week. *Scanner Update* Firstly, the team has been working hard with YNiC users to get the Siemens scanner back in use, and we are happy to report that the allocated scanning slots are being booked up, and we are working at capacity operating the scanner and re-certifying YNiC users as operators. We are now looking at how we can provide access to the GE scanner for those that wish to use it, as well as working towards future use of MEG. *Closure* You may be aware that the University has extended the Christmas break, so the University will be closed from *Friday 18th December until Monday 4th January*. YNiC will therefore also be closed during this period. Remote Access will remain online but there will be no user support over this period. We anticipate a need for two days of downtime on the YNiC Remote Access system for maintenance, around the same time as the University closure. We will keep you informed when we know which days this will happen. I hope you are all doing well, and hope you are able to enjoy a relaxing festive season (however that may look this year!). All the best, Lauren -- Lauren Welbourne, PhD Senior Research Technician lauren.welbourne(a)york.ac.uk York Neuroimaging Centre University of York Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY
