=== Insurance ===


[[NeuroWiki:Insurance]] <br>
contact Diederick Stoffers for more information <br>

=== Ethics committee ===
Check whether you have a source of funding: <br>
• Get approval from either a METC or the EC of the department of psychology of the University of Amsterdam. <br>
• For information EC Psychology --> http://ce.psy-uva.nl<br>
Make an account on this website. For external users, use when submitting external. <br>
For help click this link <br>
 
=== Calpendo user account ===
Apply for a user account in Calpendo (Calendar and user registration system)<br>
• Go to https://spinozarec.calpendo.com "register new user"<br>
• A Calpendo account is personal (not for a research group). Login name should be your familiy name. <br>
 
=== Apply for a project in Calpendo ===
After your user account has been approved and you received an Ethics Committee approval, you can apply for a project in Calpendo <br>
• In calpendo press Projects  Create Project<br>
• It starts in the “General” tab. Choose for Project Code a unique short name for your experiment. <br>
• Go to the “Project Resource Settings” tab (see below). Choose the Resources you plan to use and the number of hours (including the pilot). <br>
• Also complete the tabs “Users “ and “Safety”. <br>
• Contact Tinka Beemsterboer if you encounter any problems using the system.<br>
• Send an email to Steven Scholte once you have requested a project. <br>

=== Get an account on fMRI projects ===
Follow this link to find all the information [[Neurowiki:BigBrother]] <br>
 
=== Planning a pilot ===
• Book a timeslot in Calpendo and put in the description box, Pilot.<br>
• Tinka will be present during a pilot. Therefore you can book a Pilot on a Thursday or Friday between 08.00-18.00. <br>
• Send Tinka Beemsterboer an email once you have booked the pilot. <br>
• Pilot time is counted as used time (e.g. not free).<br>
 
=== Before running a pilot ===
• You should have a working paradigm. A good paradigm needs to wait for the first start pulse of the scanner.  Information can be found on the wiki [[Neurowiki:General stimulus setup]]<br>
• Proper interface with the response buttons. More information can be found on the wiki [[Neurowiki:General stimulus setup]]. <br>
• You should know which and how many sequences you want to run (T1, EPI, DTI), including duration in seconds of the paradigm. [[Neurowiki:Sequences]]<br>
• You should know whether or not you want to use the PPU and resp.<br>
• There must be a working fmriProjects folder or sFTP folder on BigBrother (see 4).<br>
 
=== Estimate the time needed for one participant ===
• Without PPU and Resp measurements, duration of the scans + 10 minutes.<br>
• With PPU and Resp measurements, duration of the scans + 15 minutes. <br>
• With GSR or EMG measurements, duration of the scans + 20 minutes.<br>
• With eye tracker measurements, duration of the scans + 20 minutes. <br>
 
This is only an estimation, it also depends on your type of participant for example. This will be discussed during the pilot. <br>
 
=== Booking time slots ===
Scanslots need to be <br>
• at least 3 hours <br>
• or consecutive to another booking <br>
• or starting at 9h or 18h<br>
• or finishing at 18h. <br>
In Calpendo you can find free time slots and timeslots where scanning assistance is available. <br>
Booking a scanning assistant outside these hours is possible, make sure to book it well in advance and notice Tinka by email.<br>
 
=== Participant information ===
• MRI Screening form and information folder. [[Neurowiki:Subject handling & Screening]]<br>
• Participants are obligated to have a general practitioner. Students of the UvA and HvA can register at the Studenten Huisarts Oude Turfmarkt  before coming to the Spinoza Centre. <br>
