Lab resources
Our research budget is limited, and students cannot spend lab funds or make purchases on their own. If you need equipment, software, or other resources, talk to Hemanth first, and he will handle the purchase if it can be justified and funds are available.
Any use of project-generated funds should also be discussed with Hemanth.
Computers
All lab members need a computer to get their work done. We generally prefer to use Linux machines, as this maximizes compatibility across lab members. Depending on your expected role in the lab and the specifics of your project, the lab may provide a computer to you, or you may be expected to use your personal computer to complete your work. Any equipment purchased by the lab, including personal computers, is the official property of the iHuman Lab and should be treated as such. All equipment must be returned to the lab when your association with the lab is complete. In addition to personal computers, we also maintain a lab account at Oklahoma State University’s Supercomputing Cluster.
Other research equipment
Many research projects require specialized research equipment (e.g. for neuroimaging using EEG, ECoG, etc.). Some of the necessary research equipment is owned by the iHuman Lab, and other equipment is shared with other labs at Oklahoma State University. All equipment should be treated with care and respect. Any malfunctions should be reported immediately.
