Personal entries
The "Collaborators" section of the SMILE webpages is now being updated. As a SMILE user you have the option of an entry on those pages -- ranging anywhere from a mere mention of your name to a full webpage of your own (which will be coded by the manager). You are more then welcome to join the Collaborators page! Please contact the manager for help.
New RSS feed button
I managed to add an RSS feed button to the top of the column to the right of the posts. Now it should be easier for everyone to start following the SMILE blog...!

Here is a link to an interesting project: NeuroSynth.org. It is an open source project which extracts fMRI data from published articles and visualizes the meta-analysis. It is also possible to select specific regions in the human brain and view associated terms.

PACS machine upgrade
Due to Atlas, the PACS machine in the lab needs to be upgraded. That however also means that we cannot run any external software such as Statistica on it. Therefore, an ordinary Windows machine will be bought for the lab for this type of software.
Spring guests
SMILE will have several visits during the spring:
5th-9th of March: Alberto Redolfi (PhD student at Fatebenefratelli Centro San Giovanni di Dio, Laboratory of Epidemiology & Neuroimaging, Brescia, Italy). He will work with Gabi on the N4U project.
19th-23rd of March: Julia Miralbell (PhD student at Department of Psychiatry and psychobiology, University of Barcelona, Spain). Julia is back once again! This time for the Brain Imaging course, to which also Alberto will return for a few days.
2nd of May to 21st of December: Daniel Ferreira Padilla (PhD student at Psychobiology and Methodology Department, Faculty of Psychology, University of La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain). Dani is also returning to us for a really prolonged stay.

obelix has moved
The new server room at nuclear medicine is now operational, and obelix has been moved there. It is reachable as before from the Imagelab computers, but if you have your own setup you need to change the IP number of obelix. Contact the manager to get the new IP!
The result: Silence of the lab...

Eco-friendly power save
Just a reminder: the screens in the lab should be switched off when no-one is using them. This will generate less heat in the lab and waste less energy. Make it a rule to think "Did I turn off the screens?" before you leave the lab...!
Rebooting freja
In order to keep freja healthy we have decided to reboot it at regular intervals. For starters we will do it once per month, on the first Monday of the month. These are the dates: 5th of March, 2nd of April, 7th of May, 4th of June and 2nd of July.
