Instrument
Describes the instrument used for data acquisition.
-
id
string -
Unique locatable identifier of an instrument. It can be formed by combining name and version (e.g., “DS_v2024.01”).
-
timeline_id
string -
Identifier for a timeline. Timeline is a variant of an instrument with specific parametrization, for the whole experiment or for multiple block of trials (e.g., “DS_FORWARD” and “DS_BACKWARD” for digit span task). Timelines are configurations that specify instrument parameters.
-
block_id
string -
Specific parameterization of the instrument for a single block of trials (e.g., “DS_FORWARD_PRACTICE” and “DS_FOWARD_TEST”). Block-level parameters override timeline-level parameters.
-
name
string -
Name of the toolkit (scene, code, or configuration) that is used to collect the data, e.g., “DS” for a software that runs digit span task in forward OR backward order. The specific parameterization of the instrument is defined by the “Timeline” (e.g., a variant of instrument called “DS_FORWARD”).
-
version
string -
Refers to the specific version/build of a particular instrument. We will use a calendar based versioning system (calver.org; e.g., “v2024.01”).
-
description
string -
A human readable, compact description of the main aspects of the instrument.

url -
External link, if any, the provides more information about the instrument, e.g., on Cognitive Atlas.
