  - Click on the first item under "My Quick Links" at the top left: "Bookings"
  - On the "View schedule" pull-down menu, select "Black Lab"
  - Scroll down to the find the grid corresponding to the day you want. 
  - Click on the part of the grid corresponding to the start time.  
  - In the pop-up window that appears, also fill in the end time.  Add a note if you like too.
  - Click "Save" in that window.  
  - Scroll down to find the grid for your day, and verify that the booking appears where it should.
  - Done!


===== What to do with the data files =====

  * Upload them to the VNLab Google Drive folder

VNLab/MATLAB/LLID/SubData/

<todo #>Write a new version of the .../MATLAB/LLID/loosenup_BigMemory_for_group.m script</todo>

It's messy right now.

<todo>Find and make a copy of TrackingSub.m, which does the motion tracking analysis.  Be sure to find all helper function files, too!</todo>


====== TODO for LLID data ======

<todo>Download and test state – strength Matlab toolbox.</todo>

<todo>Figure out way to normalize walking paths and superimpose plots of them for different response conditions.</todo>

<todo>Decide on convenient source of word similarity scores.</todo>

<todo>Figure out how to use circular coordinates or circular statistics to do regression of pointing errors.</todo>

<todo>Make scatterplot of correct versus indicated target words' various features course?</todo>
