====== Welcome to the Neurowiki! ======

====== 1. About this site ======

In this wiki you will find information about the tools, systems, and procedures used in the SFB and CRC projects as well as at the NIC (Neuroimaging Center). Depending on your institution or collaborative research centres you will find useful information on how to access the individual tools, which technical aspects need to be considered, as well as helpful tutorials. We encourage you to keep the articles up-to-date and fix the problems you might find using the edit function. You can also add pages for your studies as you see fit.

**This site is open to all persons with a valid login from the TU Dresden or any of the partner institutions participating in the TRR's. For this reason, use it at your own discretion and avoid publishing information of a sensitive nature.**

====== 8. Standard operating procedures at the Neuroimaging Center (NIC) at TU Dresden======

We are currently in the process to optimise accessibility of the SOPs for the NIC. Currently they are listed on two sites - our group drive (M:\nic\public\) and this neurocloud site: https://neurocloud.zih.tu-dresden.de/index.php/s/AJoKbfps9tPYGxn.

The SOP MRI licence ('MRT-Führerschein') is available here: M:\nic\public\06_SOPs_Scanberechtigung_MRTFuehrerschein

====== 9. Lectures and Meetings ======

**Regular Meetings**\\
We have the following meetings at the NIC TU Dresden\\
**1) NIC-Club full faculty (Jan, Mar, Mai, July, Sep, Nov; first Wednesday of the months at 12.00)**\\ 
This meeting includes\\
• Internal talks\\
• Share our own expertiseon methods-relatedissues\\
• Presentation of questions/topics identified in the NIC-Club Early Career Meeting (see below)\\
• External talks (Suggestionsappreciated!)\\
• Project presentationsformeasurementtime\\

**2) NIC-Club Early Career Researchers meeting (Feb, April, June, Aug, Oct, Dec; first Wednesday of the months at 12.00)**\\
This meeting serves to discuss across lab methods-related questions as well as for identifiying important topics for the NIC-Club full faculty meeting. 
Discussion points could for example include:\\
• You are planning a new study and wonder about pros and cons of alternative designs and measurement/stimulation protocols\\
• You struggle with the best analysis or experimental strategy\\
• You experience strange results (likely, others have experienced similar things and might offer solutions or comfort)\\
• You have data and invented/applied a cool type of analysis you want to share\\
• You came across a great new methods paper you want to discuss with a larger group\\

**3) NIC-Meeting (usually first Thursday of the months at 14.30)**\\
Discussion between NIC-staff (MTRAs, technicians, MR-physicists) and one member of the NIC-steering committee on day-to-day activities and organisation in the NIC. If you have things to discuss in this meeting, let the NIC-Sekretariat know.\\

**4) NIC-Executive committee meeting**\\
The [[https://tu-dresden.de/bereichsuebergreifendes/nic/mitglieder/leitungsgremium?set_language=en|NIC-Executive committee]] meets regularly to discuss strategic plans, finances, HR. If you have things do discuss here, please contact one of the executive committee members.
