Using this form, you may request a participant account on the system. Your login information will be emailed to you as soon as you request the account, so you may login immediately. You will need to check your email for specific login instructions. If you have junk mail (spam) filters configure for your email, please configure the filters to accept email from xlab-admin@sona-systems.net, as emails from the system will often be sent from that address. You must choose a user ID that is not already in use, and also specify an email address that is not already registered in the system. User IDs may be up to 30 characters in length and contain letters and numbers. To protect your privacy, you will only be identified to researchers with a unique numeric code that the system will assign, not by your name. This form should only be used by participants. Researchers will have their accounts created for them automatically.

If you chose to participate, you may be asked to make decisions for which you will be paid. At the beginning of the session you will receive detailed and accurate instructions describing how payments will depend on decisions made by you and other participants. The rules and the payments may vary across sessions and may differ between participants.
Interaction takes place over a computer network, and your identity is not revealed to other participants.
Should you chose to withdraw after listening to the instructions, or if we cannot use you in the session for any reason, you are entitled to a show up payment and are under no further obligation to us. If you chose to stay for the decision making portion of the session, you are entitled to either a show-up payment or whatever money you have earned during the course of the session.
