Subject description

“subjects” section

A typical materials section would look like below:

in: “materials.json”

{
    "$schema": "https://.../amorphis.json#subject",
    "$description": "description of subjects for the foraging-behavior experiments.",

    "participant": {
        "type": "Participant",
        "description": "the participant to our foraging-behavior experiments",

        "implants": {
            "probe": {
                "type": "Device",
                ...
            }
        }
        ...
    }
}

Note that the paths such as materials.json#subject may be referred to from the other amorphys-related documents such as setups.json or procedures.json.

class subjects

The “subjects” section is a subclass of section. It is a mapping from names to Subject entities indicating what type of subjects are used in this study.

You can fill in the fields that are common across all subjects used here. For the fields that can vary between subjects, you can use variable-type objects instead.

$description

a recommended string field inherited from the section class.
