This lecture covers the principles and strategies for direct detection of dark matter, including the use of shielding, radio-pure materials, and coincidence detectors. It also explores time-dependent signal exploitation and modulation effects. Various experiments like DAMA and CRESST are discussed, along with the challenges in interpreting results and the interplay between different detection methods.
