```

This is the lab manual of the **P**erception, **A**ttention, **L**earning and **M**emory **Lab** at the University of Adelaide, run by Dr William Ngiam. The PALM Lab is a cognitive psychology and neuroscience lab researching how we keep information in mind for ongoing cognition. You can find out more about our research and team on [our lab website](https://palm-lab.github.io).

This lab manual is mainly written for prospective or current members of the PALM Lab, but is shared publicly as a potentially helpful resource for conducting research and/or writing a lab manual. Each chapter contains guidelines, policies, and useful resources for how the lab conducts our research. It is a continual work in progress, as the way we conduct our scientific research evolves. Please feel free to share your feedback by [contacting us via email](mailto:palm.laboratory@gmail.com) and suggestion revisions by submitting an issue to [this lab manual's Github repository](https://github.com/PALM-lab/lab-manual/issues).
