This notebook demonstrates some possible solutions for the problem of scheduling experimental tasks, and mainly concerns reformulating experiments as a resource allocation problem. # First, we model a study with 12 sessions. Sessions consist of several surveys before and after a set of experimental tasks. We then define constraints and solve for a schedule for the given scenario. This scenario only plans the experiment for a single subject.
