Using SONA (click on a photo to see it in full size)
The Ivey BehavLab uses an online web-based server to coordinate appointments in the lab. This is the SONA system. The mailing list you signed up adds an account for you on SONA (https://uwoivey.sona-systems.com/)
When your information is added to the SONA system by the Lab Manager, you will receive an email from the SONA system with your login ID and a temporary password at the top of the email, a message from us at the BehavLab, and at the bottom of that email will be your unique SONA ID code.
When you go to the SONA website you sign in with the temporary password and you will be asked to create a permanent password. Even if you don’t plan to participate right away in any studies you are advised to sign in and complete this step because otherwise the temporary password will expire. It’s also a good idea to at least make yourself familiar with your account there.
Note your IDENTITY CODE. This is the code you will be asked for at every study appointment!
When you sign in your home page will look like this. You have a number of options available and you can make changes to your account information, access FAQs, and book studies. Click on the green bar “View Available Studies” to check out the currently running studies.
Here we can see that there are four studies running but only three have timeslots that are available or not currently full. The study descriptions are only brief descriptions, and you can see if the study has any restrictions. You will only see studies that you are eligible for if there is a class restriction as seen in this example. Clicking on the dark purple bar “Timeslots Available” will take you to a page with more information about the study.
