I am willing to install the software on my computer and use it for the period of the study.

 

I am aware of the Participants Manual which contains important information and is available for me to refer to.

 

I understand that the software is designed to assist in ameliorating or eliminating anxiety and depression, and that it does so by programming the neural networks of the brain to promote the experiences opposite to and incompatible with anxiety and depression, namely calm and delight. ( Calm and delight, or more precisely serenity and optimism, are the concomitants of optimal levels of serotonin in the neurochemical system, which is in turn a concomitant of low levels of anxiety and depression )

 

I understand that I will need to monitor my psychological state. I agree to contact the coordinator immediately if it becomes apparent that I am having a negative reaction to the use of the software, and to cease use of the software unless I am confident that to continue using it would be beneficial.

 

I agree to carry out the measure, a self assessment questionnaire, at the beginning, middle and end of the study. I also agree to install a new version of the software after one month if requested to do so.

 

I agree to make sure that the coordinator has up to date contact details for me for the two months duration of the research program. ( The contact email for the coordinator will be provided after sign-up. )

 

My psychological and emotional state is my responsibility, and while I understand that every possible precaution is taken to ensure that my experience of using the software is a positive one, I agree to not hold liable the coordinator of the research program or any assistants involved, for any difficulty or distress I encounter during the research program.
