Behavioural Labs

The Trigon building of the DCCN has 9 cubicles on the basement (-1) floor that can be employed to conduct behavioral experiments. These cubicles are equipped with:

• A desk with a computer, mouse and keyboard
• Two button boxes
• Audioboxes and a set of headphones

If you require additional materials, you can check the intranet page to see the different resources the univeristy has to offer

Additionally, the DCCN has 3 larger behavioral labs that can be employed for your experiments. These have different locations and special lay-outs to match with different experimental paradigms. You can find information for those laboratories here

To check for availability of the behavioral lab facilities you can make use of the Donders Intranet Calendars (Note you will need your Donders account to see this). There are two different ways to make bookings:

• Pilots of Floris de Lange - for piloting procedures
• Using your personal number - this is only obtained after the project as been presented in a PPM meeting (see Lab Basics PPM section)

Remember to always turn on the red light for the behavioral testing rooms. Only in this way, other scientists will know you are currently testing. Likewise, if you see the light on, please be as quiet as possible when walking around the area.

There is a desk space for the experimenter to wait outside of the cubicle area. It is essential to be nearby in case your participant requires assistance.
