You run a study and post on the bulletin board outside the names of the participants and their scores. This is a violation of which ethics principle?

What is privacy?

100

This the shape of the button that "runs" a script in Psychopy. 

What is a triangle?

fNIRS measures the absolute oxygen concentration in the blood. True or False?

False. It measures relative concentrations - that's why we always need a baseline. 

100

This is the color that will show during optimization in Aurora if the channel has a "good" signal.

What is green?

200

This principle requires participants to be told of the procedures, risks, and benefits, before volunteering to be in a study. 

What is informed consent?

200

This tools allows you to repeat a section of code multiple times.

What is a loop?

200

This step in the process accounts for the fact that the optode might shift position in relation to the participants scalp. 

What is motion correction?

200

To ensure that the cap is centered laterally, this point on the cap should be centered between the two ears. 

What is Cz?

300

These are example of vulnerable populations who require enhanced protections. 

Who are children, incarcerated individuals, anyone who's decision making ability is currently impaired, those who may face undue pressure from financial compensation...

300

This ability is symoblized by this component.

What is play sounds?

300

The peak of this canonical response to neural activity is often considered the outcome measure in fNIRS studies.

What is Hemodynamic Response Function (HRF)?

300

To ensure that the cap is centered in the anterior-posterior direction, one should measure between these two points. 

What are the naison (between the eyebrows) and the inion (bony bump at the back of the skull)?

400

This is the committee at a research institution that decides if research protocols meet ethical standards.

What is the Institutional Research Board (IRB)?

400

This ability is symbolized by this component (component A). 

What is the ability to get keyboard responses from the participant?

400

These two functions can allow you to average the hemodynamic response across trials.

What are Block Average and GLM?

400

This symbol, also historically found on DVRs, begins the recording in Aurora.

What is a red circle?

500

This report was published in 1979 defining 3 major ethical principles for human subjects research. 

What is the Belmont Report

500

These are the three ways to determine when in a routine a text cue appears. 

What are time (s), frame number, and condition?
500

This equation is implemented to convert optical density to hemoglobin changes. 

Modified Beer-Lambert Law

500

This part of the Psychopy code needs to run BEFORE starting the recording in Aurora to ensure that events are recorded in the fNIRS data. 

What is Lab Streaming Layer (LSL)?
