General guidelines for lab use
- Before using the lab, the lab project needs to be approved and a user agreement needs to be signed (see here for more information).
- The project manager/principal investigator is ultimately responsible for research design, data collection, analyses and compliance with good ethical practice (see below). Lab staff can assist with these issues but is not responsible for research.
- Project managers must formulate a short project description for the Projects page of the lab's website.
- When a study was conducted using the facilities or equipment of the Socio-Cognitive Laboratory, this should be mentioned in the Acknowledgements section in any ensuing publication alongside funders using the following formulation: “The author(s) gratefully acknowledge(s) MultiLing's Socio-Cognitive Laboratory”.
- The lab should only be used for research-related activities such as experiment preparation, testing of participants, and data transfer.
- Keep the rooms clean and tidy, and do not eat and drink in the lab.
- When you are testing participants, put up the “Experiment ongoing” sign to inform people that they need to be quiet in the hallway and control room and should not enter a specific lab room.
- After your lab session, bring the lab back to the state it was in before you used it (or an even better one):
- Clear away your experimental setup (unless you have arranged for otherwise, see below). If you have used the EEG system, clean the electrodes and cap.
- Delete your data on all lab devices after storing it.
- Take with you everything that does not belong to the lab.
- Shut down the equipment if required (see instructions).
- Turn off the lights.
- For future applications for funding that include the use of the Socio-Cognitive Laboratory, make sure to include lab costs into the budget.
Booking of lab space
- Lab rooms are booked on a first come, first serve basis.
- Please book rooms only when you are certain you will need them. If you cannot keep your lab appointment, delete your booking in the calendar as soon as possible to give other people the opportunity to use the lab.
- For more information on the booking of lab space and access to the lab, see: Booking rooms.
Equipment
- The lab equipment is expensive and must be handled with care. Only people with sufficient practical experience and training are allowed to use the equipment. Please follow the instructions and user manuals carefully and contact the lab manager (contact-lab@iln.uio.no) or lab engineer (lab-support@hf.uio.no) if you have any questions or technical difficulties.
- Please do not make changes to existing arrangements of equipment and user settings, as this might be part of an ongoing experiment. In case of doubt, please contact the lab manager or lab engineer (contact-lab@iln.uio.no).
- If you plan more sessions with the same experimental setup in the near future (with planned dates), seek approval to leave the setup in place between sessions. Note that such an arrangement is only possible if it does not collide with the needs of other lab users. If approved, please leave a note on the equipment stating your contact information and the date when you plan to resume your activity, so that other lab users can contact you if necessary.
- If several people use the same equipment to run experiments, inform the other experimenters if you have made significant changes to software/hardware.
Data management
- Lab users are responsible for the data management in their research project, that is the appropriate handling, processing, storage, and long-term archiving of research data.
- After every session, save your data as specified in your data management plan. We recommend using the lab's storage hotel for the storage of up to red data.
- After successful saving, delete your data on all lab devices. This is important in order to prevent that other lab users have unauthorized access to your potentially sensitive data.
- Many of the recording and stimulus computers have no antivirus software installed to avoid that recordings get compromised by unplanned virus scans. This is why only storage media such as usb sticks and external hard drives acquired by UiO should be connected. Any data transfer to the TSD server should be done through the secure network.
Publication
- Acknowledgement: Lab users should mention MultiLing's Socio-Cognitive Laboratory in the Acknowledgements section of any ensuing publication alongside funders using the following formulation: “The author(s) gratefully acknowledge(s) MultiLing's Socio-Cognitive Laboratory”.
Ethical and safety regulations
- All studies must abide by the ethical guidelines for human participants. Participants (or their legal guardians) need to sign a consent form before they participate. It is especially important that the necessary ethics approvals (e.g. from NSD, REK) are secured before a study is conducted.
- Make sure you know how to evacuate yourself and your participants from the premises in case of fire. Please carefully read the University of Oslo's information on fire safety.
