🖥️Session 1

Remember to schedule Session 2 in Bookings with the participant after completing Session 1.

I. Greet the Participant

1. Ask the participant for their photo ID to confirm the correct person is here for their session.

2. Ask them to have a seat at the table and review the following eligibility questions with them:

   • Are you between the ages of 18 and 35 at the time of participation?

   • Would you be able to see flashes on a screen with no risk of seizure?

   • Do you have normal hearing/no history of hearing impairment?

   • Do you have normal or corrected-to-normal vision? (e.g. not colorblind)

   • Did you start learning English by the age of 5?

3. If eligible, add the participant's mailing address in the MURI Subject Database and note if the session is for pay/credit.

4. If ineligible, kindly thank them for their interest and remove all the participant's information from the MURI Subject Database.

II. Complete Consent and Demographics Forms

1. Have the participant scan the QR code on the table labeled MURI Demographics with their phone camera, or give them an iPad from the control room to complete the form.

   • Make sure they scan the MURI code, not the ONR fMRI code.

2. Tell the participant their five digit subject ID, which they will need for the demographics questions. Tell them to read all of the forms carefully and let you know when they have finished.

3. Ask the participant if they need their parking validated:

   • Write in the participant's name and voucher number from the top of the ticket.

   • Write in the name of whoever is supervising the shift under "Lab Representative".

   • Add a parking sticker to the ticket and give it back to the participant.

III. Run Session 1

1. The participant can bring their belongings with them to the running room or leave them in the control room.

2. Reiterate their informed consent as you walk them to the running room.

   • Remind them that they are able to leave at any point if they do not wish to continue study participation.

   • Give them an overview of what they will be doing (a series of computer tasks that measure things like attention and working memory).

   • Remind them to not use and silence their phone during the session.

3. Highlight Session 1 in green in the MURI Subject Database once the session is complete.

   • Green = session complete

IV. Schedule Session 2

1. Open the MURI Study Part 1 Sign-Up Link.

2. Choose an available time on the calendar with the participant.

3. Fill out the participant details and answer the eligibility questions.

4. Finish by selecting "Book".

5. Add the participant's Session 2 date to the MURI Subject Database.

   • The participant will automatically receive a confirmation email when we book their session, and a reminder email the day before their session.

   • The participant will be able to reschedule Session 2 on their own.

6. Update the MURI Subject Database every time Session 2 is rescheduled/cancelled.

   • Check the lab email for an “Updated/Cancelled Booking” message every time a participant changes their session.
