Hi Everyone, Please see below for information regarding a road closure near to YNiC next week, a reminder about making bookings at YNiC, our regularly scheduled training sessions, and the upcoming research seminar. *University Road Closure* Please be advised of the following repair works to the district heating main on *University Road at the junction of Morell Way, near the Library Bridge*. The work will require a traffic management system, as a result, there will be diversions in place for pedestrians/cyclists and also a one-way system for vehicles. *The work will commence on Monday 9 May - Friday 13 May from 08:00 - 17:00.* *Please relay this to participants and suggest allowing extra time for journeys, if using this route.* *YNiC session bookings* We would like to remind all users that is important to ensure that participant R-numbers are added into session bookings at least 24 hours before the session commences. This constitutes a part of your ethical responsibility to provide informed consent and allow the subject time to reconsider their participation. *YNiC Seminar* The next YNiC Seminar will be held on *Thursday the 5th of May at 4pm *both in YNiC and via Zoom. We have a presentation from *Dr Theodoros Karapanagiotidis*, with a talk titled "*Measuring human conscious perception with MEG*".
