Guillaume Etter<p>Novice question for my fellow (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/cognitive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cognitive</span></a>) <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/neuroscientists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neuroscientists</span></a>, from someone who has only worked with animals and models: what are the regulations around <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/humansubjectsresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humansubjectsresearch</span></a> on <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> repositories? Can anyone dig through the data freely (like for animal research - provided patients/subjects gave their initial consent and data is anonymized)? Or do you need to request institutional approval every time the open source dataset is accessed? Do you recommend any guidelines, references?</p>
