# Accounts and Preferences

{% hint style="info" %}
**Status: In development.** Account and preference capabilities are being introduced progressively and may not be available in every beta environment.
{% endhint %}

Accounts are intended to make Neurolab feel consistent across investigations while keeping the scientific result separate from presentation preferences.

## What preferences can control

The developing preference model includes choices such as:

* an evidence posture, from conservative display to broader exploratory context;
* response detail for report-grounded explanations;
* a preferred starting page or workflow;
* personalization controls; and
* interface defaults associated with the account.

These settings can change how information is organized or emphasized. They do not change the stored model scores, invent missing evidence, bypass abstention, or convert a conditional result into a validated one.

## Privacy boundary

Account-owned data should be treated as private to the user unless a sharing action clearly says otherwise. During the beta, availability, retention, deletion, and synchronization behavior can change. Review the current privacy and access terms before relying on the application as the only copy of important research state.

Avoid entering personal health information, confidential patient data, or unreleased proprietary material unless the applicable terms explicitly permit it.

## Personalization is optional

Personalization is intended to reduce repetitive setup, not to create a hidden scientific profile. A preference may influence the default view or level of explanation, but the report should retain its route, version, evidence state, reliability, and warnings regardless of the selected presentation.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.neurolabai.io/organize-and-compare-research/accounts-and-preferences.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
