Experimetrix

Experimetrix is a paid service used by the Psychology department to manage the human subject pool contributing to the department's research.  Access to the subject pool is limited to Psychology faculty and Principal Investigator's with an established partnership that have a teaching title and assignment in the quarter you are requesting access.  All experiments must be registered with UCSD Human Subject Research Program in order to obtain an IRB number.

General Information for students

Experimental Subject Participation

Students enrolled in the lower-division psychology courses are asked to serve as experimental subjects for three hours per course. The requirement is intended to be a positive educational supplement to the course work. Students always have the right to discontinue participation at any point in any study. Students who are unable to participate or who choose not to participate must contact their instructor for alternate assignments which are designed to serve similar educational goals.
