Hello,

I've been trying to implement a text before my block starts. I did this using bgstim but I don't know how I can implement the duration time.


<block anti_saccade>
/ trials = [1-10 = noreplace(fixation_check_left, fixation_check_right)]
/ bgstim = (text.fixationaway)
</block>

I'd like to present the text for 8 seconds before the block starts.

Hope someone can help me out! 

Thanks in advance. 

To do this, you'd set up a <trial> lasting 8 seconds and run that as the first trial in your block, i.e.

<trial fixationaway>
/ stimulusframes = [1=text.fixationaway]
/ validresponse = (0)
/ trialduration = 8000
/ recorddata = false
</trial>

with

<block anti_saccade>
/ trials = [1=fixationaway; 2-11 = noreplace(fixation_check_left, fixation_check_right)]
/ bgstim = (text.fixationaway)
</block>
