2  Onboarding

Lab accounts

Ask Paul to set you up with accounts on:

  1. the lab Slack at sensorimotor.slack.com—this is what we use for intra-lab (and inter-lab among the sensorimotor superlab) communication instead of email

  2. our local server (toro) for on-site long-term archive of data, documents, and code

External Services

Set yourself up with:

  1. a GitHub account to maintain your data analysis & experiment code

  2. a cloud-based account to maintain your own backup of your data (something like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc)

WIRB/Western

  1. Ask Denise Soanes to set you up with swipe-card access to the WIRB security doors (you will need your Western ID card).

  2. Ask Haitao Yang to set you up with an account on the calendar booking system for WIRB meeting rooms and labs https://bmicalendar.ssc.uwo.ca
