Introduction to LabBench

This protocol is a study on the correlation between depression, anxiety and stress assessed with the DASS scale, and response inhibition measured with the Stop-Signal Task. It is written to demonstrate the capabilities of LabBench to automate experimental protocols, providing guidance to operators and participants, and for automatic processing and export of experimental data.

Introduction

The purpose of this protocol is to demonstrate how an experimental protocol can be implemented with LabBench, which is demonstrated with a protocol that studies the relationship between Depression, Anxiety and Stress, and response inhibition is implemented. Depression, Anxiety and Stress is assessed with the DASS scale from the Psychology Foundation of Australia. The DASS scale measures three related emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress on 42-item self-report questionnaire.
