Meeting at 9:00 at the reception of the National Mental Health Institute ((Topolová 748, station Klecany, U hřbitova – bus routes 371 and 374 from Kobylisy). One must be punctual because from 9:30 - 11:00 the EEG is reserved for 2 students to be tested. These students will be selected based on a questionnaire which will be received by registered students before the module.

The registered students will be divided in to groups which will circulate among the individual experimental stations. Students will have the opportunity to create their own video-stimuli which will become a part of the testing itself (one's own laptop with an editing program is an advantage).
