General rules for using BSI and DCC labs
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 coordinator or the TSG. The last registered user will be held responsible. After conducting an experiment, the lab should be restored in its original state.
Software
Do not change any of the software settings installed on the computers. Do not install any programs unless explicitly authorized by the TSG. Software updates are performed on all lab computers simultaneously.

Saving data
With every round of periodic maintenance, the local drive (C:\) will automatically get WIPED! Therefore, DO NOT SAVE YOUR EXPERIMENTAL DATA ON THE DESKTOP! The data drive (E:\) will remain untouched; hence, we advise you to save your experimental data on (a) the data drive, (b) the network drive, or (c) an external hard drive. NB the lab is not a place to archive your data!
‘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. The importance of copying and removing data immediately after ending one’s research cannot be overstated! Remember the next researcher using the lab has every user privilege.
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.
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.
