irb application update

six single-spaced pages for the actual proposal, lots of italics for stuff that i'm not sure of, and big yawning gaps for things TBD and F[somebody's]NAP and suchlike. and a fugly .tiff file that needs a lot of work, but which got thrown in there because putting in figures means you've been Hardworking. addenda: descriptions of tasks, platitudes such as HIPAA, the canned version of why MRI scans won't fry your insides, or why PSG won't plant false memories in your head while you sleep.

there's a preliminary meeting tomorrow where all this junk (hopefully) gets assembled into some sort of a coherent structure. on the one hand: yay; on the other, i know that massive rewrites are coming up, and also at least a dozen things that i've missed/ignored. a working draft by friday is not happening, and i have reading to do for tomorrow, and i've just spent an hour on skype not to mention ten minutes typing out this incredibly uninteresting entry.
