Screening of subjects

Subjects need to be screened before cooperating in functional MRI (fMRI) experiments. fMRI is a perfectly harmless method for examining brain activity, but the magnetic field attracts metal objects. Therefore, we need to preclude the possibility that subjects do have any metal objects inside their bodies. To preclude all possible risks, subjects have to fill in this document.

Subjects also need to provide informed consent for each experiment. A general informed consent document is provided below. Notice that it necessary to provide subjects with a written version of the specific experimental information as well.

Subject registration

Subject placement

Subjects are placed supine in the scanner. Take paper en fold it two times. Place this paper on the pillow (and sides) of the scanner. This eases any uneven points in the pillow and decreases the chance of discomfort in the subjects. Place pillows under the back of the head of the subject. This increases subject comfort and decreases subject movement.

-All first-year psychology students of the University of Amsterdam are obliged to participate in a variety of tests during the "testweek" (measuring personality, intelligence etc.). It is possible to couple neuroimaging data to the data acquired in the "testweek". Subjects need to sign the following form to allow for the coupling of "testweek" data with fMRI data.
