Hello everyone, Things to note this week: 1. The *GE* scanner requires a replacement cold head and so will be *unavailable until Wednesday the 3rd of April at the earliest. * 2. YNiC was closed for maintenance last week, this included IT upgrades with security patching and fibre work, adjustments to the security alarm system, and a layout change. The central meeting room off open plan is now an extension to the staff office. * Consent debriefing and other private interviews should be carried out in the small sound-proof room opposite the PhD office in open plan, or the interview room on the MRI corridor. * 3. YSPL will be doing maintenance on IT systems this week, however, this is not expected to affect uses. 4. A large cohort of YNiC staff will be away for the MEG UK conference 15-17th of April. *Signatures for conditional exceptions on consent forms for 15th-17th of April must be organized for no later than the 12th of April. We would also like to remind users that exceptions in consent forms should be arranged in advance of the scan day in all cases. * 5. We have provisionally scheduled our next *User Induction on Thursday the 18th of April at 10am*. Subject to availability and interest. Please ask any relevant students/staff to email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up if they intend to start using the centre.
