Camera Monitoring

The behavioural cubicles in the labs (A437-A to A437-W, excluding the Eyelink Cubicles) are equipped with live camera monitoring to ensure the safety and well-being of participants and maintain the integrity of experiments. The live stream is conducted through a secure offline network and is not stored. Images are blurred by default to prevent the screen/monitor of the participant from being seen or read. In order to unblur, simply hover the cursor over the image!

Participant Consent

Consent from participants is required. Informed consent forms are available in English and Dutch in the waiting room area next to the monitor PC. Participants can provide consent by marking the form affirmatively. No additional personal information is required. Completed forms should be placed in the 'Informed Consent' box in the waiting area.

Opt-out Option

Participants have the right to decline live-streaming without any consequences. To disable monitoring, participants can turn the camera to face the wall (it rotates 360 degrees) or press play/pause on the monitor PC to stop live monitoring for a specific cubicle. Cubicle L is a designated 'no-monitoring' cubicle where the Camera Monitoring is off by default.
