Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to provide practical recommendations on how to establish and operate a NeuroIS lab. Drawing on the experience of the authors, we provide recommendations on the setting of the experimental rooms, measurement equipment, software, and consumables. Moreover, we suggest sources of information where IS researchers could learn about neurophysiological measurement instruments and establish contacts with vendors of such instruments. Also, we provide practical advice on how to efficiently operate a NeuroIS lab. Illustrations from the Tech3Lab, HEC Montréal, are used to outline the specificity of a NeuroIS lab. We emphasize that the type of lab we discuss in this chapter is one with neurophysiological measurement instruments, and hence we do not focus on labs with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or similar technologies.
