Hello, 
I would like to add a fixation cross (500ms) within the following script (AMP task). Anyone willing to help, please?
Thanks so much!

Hello! and sorry for bothering again. I realized that the script I was using can not run on my version of Millisecond (5). Thus, here the script where I would like to add the fixation point. do you mind tell me how and where can I include the fixation point here, please?  I guess it should go where "0=primeA" now is..but, then, how can I tell the times for prime, target and mask?
Thanks!

Hello, 
I would like to add a fixation cross (500ms) within the following script (AMP task). Anyone willing to help, please?
Thanks so much!
