MEG Cleanup Procedures

So that all users can enjoy a clean, organized, and efficient environment, please be sure to go through the following checklist after each measurement. (A copy of this list can be found posted on the wall of the lab)

• Save your data using the proper protocol
• Return all items used inside the MSR (eg, response pads, auditory tubes, somatosensory electrodes) to their proper storage locations
• Return settings for the stimulus systems back to the standard settings
• Clean the inside of the helmet with water if gel/cream is present
• Shut the MSR door
• Remove all two-sided tape from HPI coils and wipe with alcohol pads
• Clean EOG electrodes and electrode caps with a toothbrush so that no paste or gel remains
• Hang electrodes up so that they do not get tangled
• Hang wet caps on the stand next to the sink
• Place soiled linens in the hamper
• Report any empty or near-empty supplies in the MEG logbook
• Report any broken equipment in the MEG logbook
• Take all your personal belongings with you
• Check that the room is clean (or cleaner!) than when you arrived
  

Additionally, if you are the last person to run a study that day, please:

• Turn the MSR lights off
• Turn off the projector
• Turn off the intercom and TV monitor
