Subject: [3tf-list] Publications Needed
Message-ID: <48724151.7070204@cmrr.umn.edu>

I sent an earlier e-mail in regards to publications (papers and 
abstracts) that have referenced the Neuroscience grant P30 NS057091.  We 
need this for the Progress report.  We are at crunch time now for the 
report - so if you have not sent me this information yet, please do so 
ASAP.  All I need is the citation, I don't need the paper.

Your attention to this is greatly appreciated.

Subject: [3tf-list] projector discoloration
Message-ID: <48777432.80308@cmrr.umn.edu>

Hi All,

Several users noticed that the projector was generating a reddish hue at 
the screen yesterday. The problem was also present this morning, but I 
was able to restore normal coloration by trial and error, eventually 
"fixing" the problem when I move the projector around and the hue 
suddenly became normal again. The problem is that the VGA connectors at 
the back of the projector are under a lot of stress from the heave VGA 
cable. It seem that the weight of the cables is causing the connection 
to fail, leading to one of the colors going out. We will likely order a 
replacement cable that will be a lot lighter and that should solve the 
problem. In the mean time, don't touch the projector if it is looking 
OK. If the projector is producing a funny hue, you might try adjusting 
the position of the red, green, and blue cables at the back of the 
projector. Casey, Ryan, or myself might also be able to help you as well 
if we are available.

Subject: [3tf-list] New computer in 3T console room
Message-ID: <4880DEE5.1070300@cmrr.umn.edu>

I did a bit of rearranging this morning, in order to add another PC, 
which has Eprime installed and will eventually be used to interface with 
the eyetracker and/or the physiological monitoring equipment.  The 
computer (pajarito) and new monitor (paradigm2) have been added to the 
matrix switcher, but none of the original connections or equipment were 
changed, so if you don't plan to take advantage of the new equipment, 
your experiments should be unaffected (aside from a bit of crowding).

Hi All,

As most of you know, Casey Tuck will be leaving his 3T tech job to work 
at a new position within the University. His is currently transitioning 
to this new position, working half time as the scanner tech and half 
time at his new job. His last day will be on August 29th. We will miss 
having Casey's knowledge and experienced help running the scanner.

I am happy to report, though, that we have hired a new 3T scanner tech. 
Andrea Schweikert will start work on Monday, July 28th. As part of her 
training, she will be spending a lot of time in the 3T console room 
observing scans. Her presence in the console room, however, is at the 
discretion of the scanner operator. Please let her know if you would 
rather she NOT be in the room during the scan.

Best,

Bryon

Subject: [3tf-list] scanner problems
Message-ID: <48907656.6030807@cmrr.umn.edu>

Hi,

There have been two scanner problems in the last 24 hours. Yesterday 
morning the scanner stopped in the middle of an FMRI scan and would not 
continue running. The user called me and I was able to get the scanner 
running after performing a series of reboots on the scanner components. 
This morning the scanner did not come back the full shutdown and 
restart. The user called me and I was able to walk them through a second 
restart, after which the scanner was usable again. I am going to contact 
Siemens and have them send someone to run a diagnostic on the system. 
The scanner is generating some error logs, so I expect that there is a 
minor problem with the system, and hopefully Siemens will be able to fix 
this problem. The scanner is currently booked solid, however, from 8-9 
today and from 8-6 tomorrow, and was used from 8-9 yesterday. It is 
certainly possible that we will run into more problems with the scanner 
over the next several days. These problems may lead to delays in the 
schedule if the system goes down again of might necessitate the 
canceling of scans if the system doesn't come back properly. As always, 
your understanding is appreciated.

Also, given how full the scanner schedule is currently, it is critical 
that all users use proper scanner etiquette. Make sure you are completed 
out of the room when your study is scheduled to be completed.

Best,

Bryon
