- Overview of trainings provided within CF MAFIL
According to the CF MAFIL operating rules and the related MU regulations or general regulations, the following trainings are carried out in the core facility. Their main goal is to eliminate safety risks and ensure quality operation of devices. Trainings are carried out both internally (by the head of the CF laboratory or a person authorized by him) and externally (certified entities authorized to conduct specific training).
Devices that can be operated by the user:
| Device | Requirements |
| Shielded electrophysiological laboratories | Training D and C (when working with people, can also be provided externally) |
| rTMS, tDCS/tACS | Training D and C (when working with people, can also arrange externally), individual acquaintance with the device |
| BrainProducts ExG / EEG electrophysiological systems in elphys. laboratories | Training D and C (when working with people, can also arrange externally), individual acquaintance with the device |
| EEG system EGI GES 400 in elphys. laboratories | Training D and C (when working with people, can also arrange externally), individual acquaintance with the device |
| Eye-tracking system in the environment of electrophysiological laboratories | Training D and C (when working with people, can also arrange externally), individual acquaintance with the device |
| MR scanners and other related equipment in the environment of MR laboratories | Training A, B and C, necessary individual practice under supervision. Work without supervision is only possible for CEITEC MU employees |
Devices that can be used in service mode:
| Device | Requirements for basic service mode |
| MR scanners and other related equipment in the environment of MR laboratories | Training A compulsory*, B and C recommended |
| EEG system EGI GES 400 | |
| BrainProducts ExG / EEG electrophysiological systems |
*) If the researcher only helps to instruct the person before the measurement, it is possible to implement the training individually in an abbreviated variant
The service mode can include two variants. The basic service mode also requires the presence of a researcher, and the researcher himself orders the participants for measurements for specific dates. In the case of a full service mode, the measurement will be completely provided by the laboratory staff. These variants are also distinguished by the price, because the full service mode places greater demands on the laboratory staff and must be agreed in advance with the CF manager. In the case of basic service (presence of the user in the laboratory), the user is also required to provide some training.
