moving mouse in a default position at the beginning of a trial

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to move the mouse in the centre of the screen at the beginning of a trial (with radiobuttons). This will be to make the starting point the same for every trial so it will be possible to measure the response time. I have attached a copy of the experiment.

Many thanks for any help you can provide.

You need to set up a separate <trial> in the script with some sort of stimulus displayed at the center. Have the trial accept either a click on the centered stimulus as response or move on automatically if the cursor is within a defined area (cf. https://www.millisecond.com/forums/FindPost13217.aspx ).
Then run that trial before each surveypage.
