Study Participant Platform (SPP)

The Vienna CogSciHub: Study Participant Platform (SPP) is a match-making service bringing together a diverse range of participants and researchers conducting cognitive science experiments. It provides sophisticated research management, for both the researcher and the participant.

In manchen Projekten müssen vor dem Experiment einige Fragen geklärt werden.

For Participants

How can I participate?

Simply create an account at https://spp.cogsci.univie.ac.at/register!

After registration we will inform you regularly about opportunities to participate in our studies.

Why should I participate?

With your participation, you enable basic research in the cognitive sciences. Your diversity makes our research meaningful.

Reward?

Your contribution will be rewarded with money or other benefits.

Who can participate?

Everyone can take part!
In some projects, a few questions need to be clarified before the experiment.

For Researchers

Why should I participate?

Providing a diverse and ever-growing pool of subjects increases the representativeness of samples and makes it easier to reach specific target groups for experiments. In addition, the recruitment process is traceable and centralized, and subject management (communication, documentation, etc.) is simplified.

Who can participate?

Any network member of the Vienna Cognitive Science Hub can register a study. We require approval by an ethics committee and payment to the participants.

In order to register a study, please fill in the study registration form below. If your study is conducted in German, you can fill out the form in German as well. If you have further questions, please contact our lab manager directly (labservice.cogsci@univie.ac.at) or read the guidelines that you can also download below.

What are experiments like in cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience?

The fields of cognitive science and cognitive neuroscience offer a wide range of research approaches and a variety of well-designed experiments. These range from behavioral studies, where tasks are performed on a computer screen, to fMRI or EEG studies, where brain activity is measured using non-invasive techniques. Other experiments take participants out onto the streets of Vienna or into a museum, where behavior is tracked using mobile eye-tracking devices and other physiological data may be recorded. In addition, some experiments use pharmaceutical interventions.

FAQ's

/

  • How do I know someone signed up for a Session? Can I receive notifications?

    At the moment, you have to check the Sessions page or the Calendar page on https://spp.cogsci.univie.ac.at after logging in.

    We are working on implementing a feature that will allow you to receive notifications once someone signs up for a session!

  • How can I block certain sessions?

    The easiest way to block a session is to set the number of required participants to 0.

    This way, it is not possible to sign up to the session anymore.

  • I have more questions, who can I contact?

    Please write to: labservice.cogsci@univie.ac.at
