Sona Participant Guide
Participants for all Human Subject Research experiments conducted by the ECS Unit are recruited through the Sona Systems platform. This is to facilitate the recruitment process for both participants and researchers. As a participant you can easily manage study sign ups and cancellations as well as avoid answering the same screening questions repeatedly for various studies. You also have the option of receiving a regular newsletter with new studies that are looking for participants.
Setting up and using a Sona Systems account is easy and is explained below.
