Dear YNiC users, *YNiC will be closed to users for the week commencing the 6th of September for vital maintenance*. This will include disruption to YNiC computing resources for at least the 6th and 7th. *No operator cover will be available for the week commencing the 20th of September*, however, researcher's can use the facilities by providing their own operators in this period. For the entire of September, YNiC staff availability will be limited, so signatures for conditional exceptions on consent forms should be requested a week ahead of the scan booking.* * We are holding *level 0 operator training on Wednesday the 25th of August at 13:00 *and we have space for 2 more trainees.L0 training is available to allow researcher's to run their own MRI sessions with reduced reliance on YNiC operators. This training should only be undertaken by researcher's who have projects that will require operators imminently. If anybody wants to attend this L0 training please contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk <mailto:support@ynic.york.ac.uk> Cheers, Rich -- Dr Richard Aveyard Senior Research Technician York NeuroImaging Centre University of York, UK
