Welcome to Kinarm!  As a new user, we want to ensure you start collecting Kinarm data as quickly as possible.  Below is a suggested training plan, based on the type of research you do:

For basic researchers:

1. Learn how to operate a Kinarm Lab:
   • watch our What can you do with a Kinarm Video to learn about what’s possible (a lot!) when developing your experimental paradigm
   • watch our Dexterit-E Training Video
   • follow the steps in the KINARM Lab Operator Guide (select applicable model) to ensure you understand the basics of running Dexterit-E (our software) and know how to set up a subject correctly
   • If you’re using a Kinarm Exoskeleton:
     • watch our Exoskeleton Operator Training Video while following the instructions in the Kinarm Operator Guide
     •  have your subject setup reviewed by a Kinarm instructor by contacting support@kinarm.com
2. Learn how to write a Custom Task Program:
   • Follow the steps suggested on  Creating Custom Tasks
     • take the recommended MATLAB Simulink & Stateflow On-boarding training on our  Custom Tasks page
       • if you are new to or need refreshing in Simulink and Stateflow we recommend you complete MathWorks’ tutorials for each: Simulink and Stateflow.
       • if you are a real beginner, check out MATLAB Academy. We highly recommend the courses MATLAB Fundamentals, MATLAB Onramp, Simulink Onramp, and Stateflow Onramp.
     • watch Training Videos from Kinarm Camp in the posted order
     • contact us for a copy of the exercise sheets from Kinarm Camp
   • Download and modify Sample Custom Tasks
   • Read what others have done with Kinarm by reading papers from the Publications by Research Area
   • Attend Kinarm Camp – usually second or third week of May
3. Learn how to review your data in Dexterit-E Explorer
4. Learn how to work with Kinarm Data in MATLAB
