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.

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).

==DCC lab 'Buddy rule'==
 +
For reasons of general safety on both researchers as participants the DCC decided to implement a buddy rule for measurements outside office hours. Please respect this rule from now on.
 +
 
 +
Details on the rule can be found below or on the following intranet page: https://intranet.donders.ru.nl/index.php?id=4706
 +
 
 +
"buddy rule" experiments
 +
 
 +
Testing outside office hours, e.g. between 6pm and 9am, weekends and holidays can only be done when, next to the participant, at least two people are present, the so-called "buddy rule".
 +
 
 +
The “buddy rule” entails:
 +
• At all times during outside office hours, the experimental subject has to be supervised by the experimenter and one additional person (both with DCC-checked-in status).
 +
• The buddy should be present in the control room of the lab, or if the lab lacks such a room, it is allowed that the buddy stays in an adjacent room, of which the door is left open.
 +
• The buddy-system applies to ALL labs.
 +
• The experimenter is responsible for finding a buddy.
 +
• No buddy is needed if both the experimenter and the subject have a DCC-checked-in status. In this case both should be in the same room or in directly adjacent rooms with recording door left open, such that subject and researcher are not fully separated.
 +
In addition, it is the responsibility of the experimenter to make sure that safety-procedures are known to both experimenter and the subject.
 +
6.  Please note that for interventional studies, a buddy always needs to be present, also during office hours! (See also brain stimulation guidelines for TMS-specific rules, https://intranet.donders.ru.nl/index.php?id=4707)
 +
 
 +
The DCC is aware that this puts an extra claim on the time available to all of you. However, this rule has to be implemented for reasons of general safety on both the participant as well as the experimenter.
