[Brains-users] [Fwd: reliability]

[Helen L. Keefe]

Hi Katherine,

I'm passing this on to Ron Pierson, who deals with the reliability lists 
here - also I'm sending it to the brains users' list...it seems like 
something that could easily come up at other locations.

Hello Helen,
     This is Katherine Bayless (from Wisconsin; formerly of Peg's lab).  
We've had some staff changes in the past year, and our new computer 
supervisor has had to essentially start with no training whatsoever.  I 
have been training a student from Rosalind Franklin in IL to do standard 
processing, and the issue of reliability was raised.  When everyone in 
our lab was trained several years ago, our former computer supervisor 
gave us each 10 scans for reliability; he told us they were from "the 
gold standard set, from Iowa".  Now that it is time to get more people 
reliable, no one has any idea where these scans are.  Is there a gold 
standard set that we can use from Iowa?  If not, what scans should we be 
using as a gold standard?  If you could help me out, I would really 
appreciate it.  I hope you're having a good New Year!

Thanks,
Katherine Bayless
