General rules for using BSI and DCC labs
+
Here are some general rules for using BSI and DCC labs.
   −
==Hardware==
+
==Keys==
 +
There is valuable equipment in the labs. Therefore lab keys should be handled with caution. Researchers must keep the key with them at all times and do not lend it to others. Even when leaving the lab for a short while, all doors must be locked.
    +
 +
==Noise==
 +
Within the DCC lab area, noise must be kept to a minimum. In consideration of your colleagues working in the labs, you are expected to speak softly and limit conversation with others.
 +
All mobile phones and pagers, of both experimenters and participants, should be switched off in the lab.
 +
 +
 +
==Food/drinks==
 +
Food is not allowed in the lab area, including candy for participants. Drinks are allowed for EEG-participants.

===Hardware===
 
Without explicit authorization by the TSG, (re)moving hardware (computers, keyboards, mice, chairs, button boxes, electro-caps, etc.) is strictly prohibited! In case you want to change the technical setup in a lab, you have to discuss this in advance with the lab coördinator or the TSG. The last registered user will be held responsible. After conducting an experiment, the lab should be restored in its original state.

==Network connection==
 
==Network connection==
   
When you are going to prosecute an experiment make sure the computer is switched off from the internet. You can enable or disable the network connection by clicking on two icons on the desktop of the lab computer saying Network Connection ON (blue icon) or Network Connection OFF (red icon).

With every round of periodic maintenance, the local drive (C:\) will automatically get '''WIPED!'''

==Digital hygiene==
      
Make back-ups after each testing day; all data must be collected immediately after finishing a experiment. Make sure your USB-stick does not contain any viruses before using it in the labs.

==Lab supplies==
   
In case there is a shortage of supplies, or if you need something that you cannot find in the lab, please contact the lab coordinator. Do not take supplies from other labs without consent from the lab coordinator, or (in absence of the lab coordinator) one of the TSG members.
