Last issues!

freegor — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 16:55:29 GMT

Hello again,
Hope this message finds you well.

I have a some of tiny issues to assess in a couple of brief scripts.
I hope and think I'm close to the end.
I start with the first one, I'm gonna put the latter issues after the former is solved.

The first issue is that I'm trying to put a longer fixation cross before any presentation of stimuli to draw participant attention before the task (patients).
I did so creating brand new stimulus, trial and block for fixationStart (as I called the stuff in the script).
I don't know why the block is not coming up, it is like hidden somewhere.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Dave. I hope you're ok.
I'm writing you again because I don't understand a thing in the following script.

I like how it is now, because I just have pic and fixation, pic and fixation and so on
But, I don't get why a trial is followed smoothly by the following one when I don't respond (I mean from the fixation to the next pic, that is the beginning of the next trial); instead, if I press the button (respond) I have like a little pause between those trial (like a crealscreen).
I did put "no posttrial pause" after response trial and no ITI between the trials, but it doesn't work like I'd like to: so to have a smooth transition between one trial and the next one (from fixation to pic) even though I respond.

I hope I was clear and I thank you beforehand.
Regards

There is a "pause" because your trials have a fixed duration.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/trialduration.htm
If you want a max duration only, use /timeout instead.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/timeout.htm

In general, you need to internalize https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/howto/howtocontroltiming.htm to understand how trials work.

Good evening.
In fixationResp trial of this code I'd like the stimuli stay on the screen after I respond.
I took "/responseinterrupt" away from the script and "erase" from text/stimuli, but when I respond to the trial the stimuli are erased right away and the script goes to the next trial.

Thank you in advance.
Best.

If you want stimuli to remain on-screen, you need to set /erase = false for all stimuli displayed by the trial, not "take away" /erase.
[/quote]
Obviously I didn't type "take away" in the script. You can read it through the script actually.
As I already told you, I did the /erase cmmand, but perhaps only in one of the stimuli.
could it be the issue?
[/quote]

In the script as you posted it, all stimuli are getting erased. There are no /erase = false settings.

Once again, if you want stimuli to remain on-screen, i.e. not be erased at the end of a trial, then you ought to set /erase = false for ALL STIMULI presented by the given trial.

Hi Dave. I hope you're ok.
I'm writing you again because I don't understand a thing in the following script.

I like how it is now, because I just have pic and fixation, pic and fixation and so on
But, I don't get why a trial is followed smoothly by the following one when I don't respond (I mean from the fixation to the next pic, that is the beginning of the next trial); instead, if I press the button (respond) I have like a little pause between those trial (like a crealscreen).
I did put "no posttrial pause" after response trial and no ITI between the trials, but it doesn't work like I'd like to: so to have a smooth transition between one trial and the next one (from fixation to pic) even though I respond.

I hope I was clear and I thank you beforehand.
Regards

There is a "pause" because your trials have a fixed duration.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/trialduration.htm
If you want a max duration only, use /timeout instead.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/timeout.htm

In general, you need to internalize https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/howto/howtocontroltiming.htm to understand how trials work.

Good evening.
In fixationResp trial of this code I'd like the stimuli stay on the screen after I respond.
I took "/responseinterrupt" away from the script and "erase" from text/stimuli, but when I respond to the trial the stimuli are erased right away and the script goes to the next trial.

Thank you in advance.
Best.

If you want stimuli to remain on-screen, you need to set /erase = false for all stimuli displayed by the trial, not "take away" /erase.
[/quote]

Obviously I didn't type "take away" in the script. You can read it through the script actually.
As I already told you, I did the /erase cmmand, but perhaps only in one of the stimuli.
could it be the issue?

Hi Dave. I hope you're ok.
I'm writing you again because I don't understand a thing in the following script.

I like how it is now, because I just have pic and fixation, pic and fixation and so on
But, I don't get why a trial is followed smoothly by the following one when I don't respond (I mean from the fixation to the next pic, that is the beginning of the next trial); instead, if I press the button (respond) I have like a little pause between those trial (like a crealscreen).
I did put "no posttrial pause" after response trial and no ITI between the trials, but it doesn't work like I'd like to: so to have a smooth transition between one trial and the next one (from fixation to pic) even though I respond.

I hope I was clear and I thank you beforehand.
Regards

There is a "pause" because your trials have a fixed duration.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/trialduration.htm
If you want a max duration only, use /timeout instead.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/timeout.htm

In general, you need to internalize https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/howto/howtocontroltiming.htm to understand how trials work.

Good evening.
In fixationResp trial of this code I'd like the stimuli stay on the screen after I respond.
I took "/responseinterrupt" away from the script and "erase" from text/stimuli, but when I respond to the trial the stimuli are erased right away and the script goes to the next trial.

Thank you in advance.
Best.

If you want stimuli to remain on-screen, you need to set /erase = false for all stimuli displayed by the trial, not "take away" /erase.

Hi Dave. I hope you're ok.
I'm writing you again because I don't understand a thing in the following script.

I like how it is now, because I just have pic and fixation, pic and fixation and so on
But, I don't get why a trial is followed smoothly by the following one when I don't respond (I mean from the fixation to the next pic, that is the beginning of the next trial); instead, if I press the button (respond) I have like a little pause between those trial (like a crealscreen).
I did put "no posttrial pause" after response trial and no ITI between the trials, but it doesn't work like I'd like to: so to have a smooth transition between one trial and the next one (from fixation to pic) even though I respond.

I hope I was clear and I thank you beforehand.
Regards

There is a "pause" because your trials have a fixed duration.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/trialduration.htm
If you want a max duration only, use /timeout instead.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/timeout.htm

In general, you need to internalize https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/howto/howtocontroltiming.htm to understand how trials work.

Good evening.
In fixationResp trial of this code I'd like the stimuli stay on the screen after I respond.
I took "/responseinterrupt" away from the script and "erase" from text/stimuli, but when I respond to the trial the stimuli are erased right away and the script goes to the next trial.

Thank you in advance.
Best.

Hi Dave. I hope you're ok.
I'm writing you again because I don't understand a thing in the following script.

I like how it is now, because I just have pic and fixation, pic and fixation and so on
But, I don't get why a trial is followed smoothly by the following one when I don't respond (I mean from the fixation to the next pic, that is the beginning of the next trial); instead, if I press the button (respond) I have like a little pause between those trial (like a crealscreen).
I did put "no posttrial pause" after response trial and no ITI between the trials, but it doesn't work like I'd like to: so to have a smooth transition between one trial and the next one (from fixation to pic) even though I respond.

I hope I was clear and I thank you beforehand.
Regards

There is a "pause" because your trials have a fixed duration.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/trialduration.htm
If you want a max duration only, use /timeout instead.
https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/attributes/timeout.htm

In general, you need to internalize https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/howto/howtocontroltiming.htm to understand how trials work.

RE: Last issues!

Hi Dave. I hope you're ok.
I'm writing you again because I don't understand a thing in the following script.

I like how it is now, because I just have pic and fixation, pic and fixation and so on
But, I don't get why a trial is followed smoothly by the following one when I don't respond (I mean from the fixation to the next pic, that is the beginning of the next trial); instead, if I press the button (respond) I have like a little pause between those trial (like a crealscreen).
I did put "no posttrial pause" after response trial and no ITI between the trials, but it doesn't work like I'd like to: so to have a smooth transition between one trial and the next one (from fixation to pic) even though I respond.

I hope I was clear and I thank you beforehand.
Regards

Hello Dave,
professor's choice changed and I gotta change this task accordingly.
If you read the last message in this topic we left with this:
"I need a trial to present the images and another one to have the answer" and you gave me an alternative view with a single trial.
In this script the stimuli are pics and the answer was fixationResp.

Well, I'd need a single trial in which I'd present the pic and after 350ms the fixationResp (fixation +). I tried to do as you can read in the script, following also your suggestions.
The problem here is that when I respond on the fixationResp (fixation +) the task is doing good. But, when I respond soon after the beginning of the trial, i.e. on the image, the trial is doing wrong. It is like the fixation + reoccurs on the following stimulus/pic, waiting for the response.
I'd like a smooth single trial, instead, in which the participant can respond both on the pic and the fixation +, recording a single valid response, and the fixation + is disappearing accordingly with the end of the trial.

If you want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, you need to set /responseinterrupt to frames.
[/quote]

I did not get your proposal. I do not want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, it is the other way around.
I want a single trial to present the stimulus (Pic_practice) and the fixationResp in the same trial.
I want a single response for both in the same trial.
and I think it is ok so far.
And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus (Pic_ptractice), because the response should be registered already. Moreover, if I do not respond to the stimulus I should be able to respond on the fixationResp as well. Everything should be under the same trial and response measure
[/quote]

Your descriptions contradict each other.

> And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus

When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

In addition, add trial.fixationResp.resetstimulusframes(); to the trials /ontrialbegin logic.
[/quote]
> When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

Yes this is typical and it works when I respond under the fixationResp part of the trial, but not when I respond just while the pic is on the screen (response to the pic allowed)

>The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

The image (pic_practice) is behaving well, the problem is that when I respond just while the pic is on the screen, the trial is recording my response but it is not erasing the fixationResp part after it. That's because I see the fixationResp to appear superimposed on the following pic.
It should not be like that.

I explain you exactly what I want.
I want the trial to be one, presenting the pic and the fixationResp stimuli one after the other as expressed in the stimulustimes now.
At the same time, the response to the trial should be one as well, whether if I respond to the pic or to fixationResp moment.
So far so good.
But the task is not erasing fixationResp when I give the response precisely under the pic time presentation.
Then, fixationResp is presenting itself superimposed on the following pic: I should try to avoid this issue.
Basically, I'd like to have: when the response is given at the precise moment of the pic presentation, the fixationResp is not appearing and the task may continue to the next trial.
Thank you.
[/quote]

Please just do the things I told you in my previous reply
[/quote]

Thank you very much.

Just a question please.
May I display my experiment on a second monitor changing some settings in Inquisit? Or, do I have to find a way through the display settings on my laptop?
[/quote]

Change the display settings, i,e, make the external monitor the primary display.
[/quote]

Yes, it's the decision I made eventually.
thank you.
Nice evening

If you want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, you need to set /responseinterrupt to frames.
[/quote]

I did not get your proposal. I do not want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, it is the other way around.
I want a single trial to present the stimulus (Pic_practice) and the fixationResp in the same trial.
I want a single response for both in the same trial.
and I think it is ok so far.
And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus (Pic_ptractice), because the response should be registered already. Moreover, if I do not respond to the stimulus I should be able to respond on the fixationResp as well. Everything should be under the same trial and response measure
[/quote]

Your descriptions contradict each other.

> And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus

When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

In addition, add trial.fixationResp.resetstimulusframes(); to the trials /ontrialbegin logic.

> When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

Yes this is typical and it works when I respond under the fixationResp part of the trial, but not when I respond just while the pic is on the screen (response to the pic allowed)

>The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

The image (pic_practice) is behaving well, the problem is that when I respond just while the pic is on the screen, the trial is recording my response but it is not erasing the fixationResp part after it. That's because I see the fixationResp to appear superimposed on the following pic.
It should not be like that.

I explain you exactly what I want.
I want the trial to be one, presenting the pic and the fixationResp stimuli one after the other as expressed in the stimulustimes now.
At the same time, the response to the trial should be one as well, whether if I respond to the pic or to fixationResp moment.
So far so good.
But the task is not erasing fixationResp when I give the response precisely under the pic time presentation.
Then, fixationResp is presenting itself superimposed on the following pic: I should try to avoid this issue.
Basically, I'd like to have: when the response is given at the precise moment of the pic presentation, the fixationResp is not appearing and the task may continue to the next trial.
Thank you.
[/quote]

Please just do the things I told you in my previous reply
[/quote]

Thank you very much.

Just a question please.
May I display my experiment on a second monitor changing some settings in Inquisit? Or, do I have to find a way through the display settings on my laptop?
[/quote]

Change the display settings, i,e, make the external monitor the primary display.

Hello Dave,
professor's choice changed and I gotta change this task accordingly.
If you read the last message in this topic we left with this:
"I need a trial to present the images and another one to have the answer" and you gave me an alternative view with a single trial.
In this script the stimuli are pics and the answer was fixationResp.

Well, I'd need a single trial in which I'd present the pic and after 350ms the fixationResp (fixation +). I tried to do as you can read in the script, following also your suggestions.
The problem here is that when I respond on the fixationResp (fixation +) the task is doing good. But, when I respond soon after the beginning of the trial, i.e. on the image, the trial is doing wrong. It is like the fixation + reoccurs on the following stimulus/pic, waiting for the response.
I'd like a smooth single trial, instead, in which the participant can respond both on the pic and the fixation +, recording a single valid response, and the fixation + is disappearing accordingly with the end of the trial.

If you want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, you need to set /responseinterrupt to frames.
[/quote]

I did not get your proposal. I do not want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, it is the other way around.
I want a single trial to present the stimulus (Pic_practice) and the fixationResp in the same trial.
I want a single response for both in the same trial.
and I think it is ok so far.
And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus (Pic_ptractice), because the response should be registered already. Moreover, if I do not respond to the stimulus I should be able to respond on the fixationResp as well. Everything should be under the same trial and response measure
[/quote]

Your descriptions contradict each other.

> And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus

When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

In addition, add trial.fixationResp.resetstimulusframes(); to the trials /ontrialbegin logic.

> When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

Yes this is typical and it works when I respond under the fixationResp part of the trial, but not when I respond just while the pic is on the screen (response to the pic allowed)

>The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

The image (pic_practice) is behaving well, the problem is that when I respond just while the pic is on the screen, the trial is recording my response but it is not erasing the fixationResp part after it. That's because I see the fixationResp to appear superimposed on the following pic.
It should not be like that.

I explain you exactly what I want.
I want the trial to be one, presenting the pic and the fixationResp stimuli one after the other as expressed in the stimulustimes now.
At the same time, the response to the trial should be one as well, whether if I respond to the pic or to fixationResp moment.
So far so good.
But the task is not erasing fixationResp when I give the response precisely under the pic time presentation.
Then, fixationResp is presenting itself superimposed on the following pic: I should try to avoid this issue.
Basically, I'd like to have: when the response is given at the precise moment of the pic presentation, the fixationResp is not appearing and the task may continue to the next trial.
Thank you.
[/quote]

Please just do the things I told you in my previous reply
[/quote]

Thank you very much.

Just a question please.
May I display my experiment on a second monitor changing some settings in Inquisit? Or, do I have to find a way through the display settings on my laptop?

Hello Dave,
professor's choice changed and I gotta change this task accordingly.
If you read the last message in this topic we left with this:
"I need a trial to present the images and another one to have the answer" and you gave me an alternative view with a single trial.
In this script the stimuli are pics and the answer was fixationResp.

Well, I'd need a single trial in which I'd present the pic and after 350ms the fixationResp (fixation +). I tried to do as you can read in the script, following also your suggestions.
The problem here is that when I respond on the fixationResp (fixation +) the task is doing good. But, when I respond soon after the beginning of the trial, i.e. on the image, the trial is doing wrong. It is like the fixation + reoccurs on the following stimulus/pic, waiting for the response.
I'd like a smooth single trial, instead, in which the participant can respond both on the pic and the fixation +, recording a single valid response, and the fixation + is disappearing accordingly with the end of the trial.

and I think it is ok so far.
And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus (Pic_ptractice), because the response should be registered already. Moreover, if I do not respond to the stimulus I should be able to respond on the fixationResp as well. Everything should be under the same trial and response measure

> And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus

When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

In addition, add trial.fixationResp.resetstimulusframes(); to the trials /ontrialbegin logic.

> When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

Yes this is typical and it works when I respond under the fixationResp part of the trial, but not when I respond just while the pic is on the screen (response to the pic allowed)

>The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

The image (pic_practice) is behaving well, the problem is that when I respond just while the pic is on the screen, the trial is recording my response but it is not erasing the fixationResp part after it. That's because I see the fixationResp to appear superimposed on the following pic.
It should not be like that.

I explain you exactly what I want.
I want the trial to be one, presenting the pic and the fixationResp stimuli one after the other as expressed in the stimulustimes now.
At the same time, the response to the trial should be one as well, whether if I respond to the pic or to fixationResp moment.
So far so good.
But the task is not erasing fixationResp when I give the response precisely under the pic time presentation.
Then, fixationResp is presenting itself superimposed on the following pic: I should try to avoid this issue.
Basically, I'd like to have: when the response is given at the precise moment of the pic presentation, the fixationResp is not appearing and the task may continue to the next trial.
Thank you.

Hello Dave,
professor's choice changed and I gotta change this task accordingly.
If you read the last message in this topic we left with this:
"I need a trial to present the images and another one to have the answer" and you gave me an alternative view with a single trial.
In this script the stimuli are pics and the answer was fixationResp.

Well, I'd need a single trial in which I'd present the pic and after 350ms the fixationResp (fixation +). I tried to do as you can read in the script, following also your suggestions.
The problem here is that when I respond on the fixationResp (fixation +) the task is doing good. But, when I respond soon after the beginning of the trial, i.e. on the image, the trial is doing wrong. It is like the fixation + reoccurs on the following stimulus/pic, waiting for the response.
I'd like a smooth single trial, instead, in which the participant can respond both on the pic and the fixation +, recording a single valid response, and the fixation + is disappearing accordingly with the end of the trial.

When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

In addition, add trial.fixationResp.resetstimulusframes(); to the trials /ontrialbegin logic.

Yes this is typical and it works when I respond under the fixationResp part of the trial, but not when I respond just while the pic is on the screen (response to the pic allowed)

>The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

The image (pic_practice) is behaving well, the problem is that when I respond just while the pic is on the screen, the trial is recording my response but it is not erasing the fixationResp part after it. That's because I see the fixationResp to appear superimposed on the following pic.
It should not be like that.

I explain you exactly what I want.
I want the trial to be one, presenting the pic and the fixationResp stimuli one after the other as expressed in the stimulustimes now.
At the same time, the response to the trial should be one as well, whether if I respond to the pic or to fixationResp moment.
So far so good.
But the task is not erasing fixationResp when I give the response precisely under the pic time presentation.
Then, fixationResp is presenting itself superimposed on the following pic: I should try to avoid this issue.
Basically, I'd like to have: when the response is given at the precise moment of the pic presentation, the fixationResp is not appearing and the task may continue to the next trial.
Thank you.

Hello Dave,
professor's choice changed and I gotta change this task accordingly.
If you read the last message in this topic we left with this:
"I need a trial to present the images and another one to have the answer" and you gave me an alternative view with a single trial.
In this script the stimuli are pics and the answer was fixationResp.

Well, I'd need a single trial in which I'd present the pic and after 350ms the fixationResp (fixation +). I tried to do as you can read in the script, following also your suggestions.
The problem here is that when I respond on the fixationResp (fixation +) the task is doing good. But, when I respond soon after the beginning of the trial, i.e. on the image, the trial is doing wrong. It is like the fixation + reoccurs on the following stimulus/pic, waiting for the response.
I'd like a smooth single trial, instead, in which the participant can respond both on the pic and the fixation +, recording a single valid response, and the fixation + is disappearing accordingly with the end of the trial.

If you want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, you need to set /responseinterrupt to frames.
[/quote]

I did not get your proposal. I do not want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, it is the other way around.
I want a single trial to present the stimulus (Pic_practice) and the fixationResp in the same trial.
I want a single response for both in the same trial.
and I think it is ok so far.
And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus (Pic_ptractice), because the response should be registered already. Moreover, if I do not respond to the stimulus I should be able to respond on the fixationResp as well. Everything should be under the same trial and response measure
[/quote]

Your descriptions contradict each other.

> And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus

When responseinterrupt is set to immediate, it does not appear. The trial enters its posttrialpause and ends. The fixation cross is not displayed.

The image remains on.screen because you have told Inquisit to not erase it. If you want it gone, remove the /erase false setting from the <picture> element.

In addition, add trial.fixationResp.resetstimulusframes(); to the trials /ontrialbegin logic.

If you want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, you need to set /responseinterrupt to frames.
[/quote]

I did not get your proposal. I do not want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, it is the other way around.
I want a single trial to present the stimulus (Pic_practice) and the fixationResp in the same trial.
I want a single response for both in the same trial.
and I think it is ok so far.
And actually, what I want to solve is that the fixationResp MUST NOT APPEAR when the response is given on the stimulus (Pic_ptractice), because the response should be registered already. Moreover, if I do not respond to the stimulus I should be able to respond on the fixationResp as well. Everything should be under the same trial and response measure

Hello Dave,
professor's choice changed and I gotta change this task accordingly.
If you read the last message in this topic we left with this:
"I need a trial to present the images and another one to have the answer" and you gave me an alternative view with a single trial.
In this script the stimuli are pics and the answer was fixationResp.

Well, I'd need a single trial in which I'd present the pic and after 350ms the fixationResp (fixation +). I tried to do as you can read in the script, following also your suggestions.
The problem here is that when I respond on the fixationResp (fixation +) the task is doing good. But, when I respond soon after the beginning of the trial, i.e. on the image, the trial is doing wrong. It is like the fixation + reoccurs on the following stimulus/pic, waiting for the response.
I'd like a smooth single trial, instead, in which the participant can respond both on the pic and the fixation +, recording a single valid response, and the fixation + is disappearing accordingly with the end of the trial.

If you want the fixation stimulus displayed when the response occurs before it, you need to set /responseinterrupt to frames.

RE: Last issues!

freegor — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 12:06:36 GMT

Hello Dave,
professor's choice changed and I gotta change this task accordingly.
If you read the last message in this topic we left with this:
"I need a trial to present the images and another one to have the answer" and you gave me an alternative view with a single trial.
In this script the stimuli are pics and the answer was fixationResp.

Well, I'd need a single trial in which I'd present the pic and after 350ms the fixationResp (fixation +). I tried to do as you can read in the script, following also your suggestions.
The problem here is that when I respond on the fixationResp (fixation +) the task is doing good. But, when I respond soon after the beginning of the trial, i.e. on the image, the trial is doing wrong. It is like the fixation + reoccurs on the following stimulus/pic, waiting for the response.
I'd like a smooth single trial, instead, in which the participant can respond both on the pic and the fixation +, recording a single valid response, and the fixation + is disappearing accordingly with the end of the trial.

You don't need two separate trials for that, you could just as easily do all that in a single trial. I have no idea why you *think* two separate trials are required.

Hello.

So good so far, except that I don't understand why the script is doubling the presented stimuli.

I tried several ways: changing variables strings; deleting the return to trial.ITI; the list odf stimuli; but it's not working.
Perhaps, it's an issue arised when I put the variables the way I did to have my columns tidy up. I don't want to lose this.

Anyway, I should put the pèroper number of stimnuli.
Can you help, please?

Ok, it is the variable stuff I guess, because the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp.
How can I overcome this issue not loosing the arrangement my columns layout, please?
[/quote]

I once again have no idea what you are talking about or what bothers you. Things have names in the code and in the data. You can use these to explain what -- precisely -- you think the issue is. "Variable stuff" and "the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp" doesn't tell me anything.

----------------------------------------------------------

But now I have a problem that the script output is giving me more stimuli than I should have, that is twice as much.
I would like to preserve the layout I just set up, but removing this issue of the number of the stimuli.
Thank you.

P.S. before accusing me, you can read the previous message I sent to you:
"Hello.

So good so far, except that I don't understand why the script is doubling the presented stimuli.

I tried several ways: changing variables strings; deleting the return to trial.ITI; the list odf stimuli; but it's not working.
Perhaps, it's an issue arised when I put the variables the way I did to have my columns tidy up. I don't want to lose this.

Anyway, I should put the pèroper number of stimuli.
Can you help, please?"

Then, once again, I am always kind and polite to you and I'd like you to be the same to me.
thank you again
[/quote]

The script is not doubling presented stimuli and I have no idea why you think it is.
[/quote]

Actually I know, and I have still this output.
I have no idea what's the problem!
[/quote]

The output shows no "doubling of stimuli" whatsoever. For every image you present you are running *two* trials.

(1) Trial "practice" that displays the image and takes no response, followed by
(2) Trial "fixationResp" that takes a yes or no response.

That is exactly what the output shows. There is no "doubling of stimuli" -- 43 images are presented.

Why you *chose* to split things into two trials -- I don't know. You tell me, it's your code and your choices.
[/quote]

The reason of this choice is to be found in the fact that I need a trial to present the images and another one to have the answer for clinical purposes and for professor's choice.
Then, you say there's no error, and I'm relieved because I guessed so as well.

I should just put much attention and care while extracting and analyzing data from this output, considering this arrangement.

Thank you!

Ok, it is the variable stuff I guess, because the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp.
How can I overcome this issue not loosing the arrangement my columns layout, please?
[/quote]

I once again have no idea what you are talking about or what bothers you. Things have names in the code and in the data. You can use these to explain what -- precisely -- you think the issue is. "Variable stuff" and "the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp" doesn't tell me anything.

----------------------------------------------------------

But now I have a problem that the script output is giving me more stimuli than I should have, that is twice as much.
I would like to preserve the layout I just set up, but removing this issue of the number of the stimuli.
Thank you.

P.S. before accusing me, you can read the previous message I sent to you:
"Hello.

So good so far, except that I don't understand why the script is doubling the presented stimuli.

I tried several ways: changing variables strings; deleting the return to trial.ITI; the list odf stimuli; but it's not working.
Perhaps, it's an issue arised when I put the variables the way I did to have my columns tidy up. I don't want to lose this.

Anyway, I should put the pèroper number of stimuli.
Can you help, please?"

Then, once again, I am always kind and polite to you and I'd like you to be the same to me.
thank you again

The script is not doubling presented stimuli and I have no idea why you think it is.
[/quote]

Actually I know, and I have still this output.
I have no idea what's the problem!
[/quote]

The output shows no "doubling of stimuli" whatsoever. For every image you present you are running *two* trials.

(1) Trial "practice" that displays the image and takes no response, followed by
(2) Trial "fixationResp" that takes a yes or no response.

That is exactly what the output shows. There is no "doubling of stimuli" -- 43 images are presented.

Why you *chose* to split things into two trials -- I don't know. You tell me, it's your code and your choices.

Ok, it is the variable stuff I guess, because the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp.
How can I overcome this issue not loosing the arrangement my columns layout, please?

I once again have no idea what you are talking about or what bothers you. Things have names in the code and in the data. You can use these to explain what -- precisely -- you think the issue is. "Variable stuff" and "the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp" doesn't tell me anything.

Ok, I made these changes to have a proper columns arrangement in the output file:

----------------------------------------------------------

But now I have a problem that the script output is giving me more stimuli than I should have, that is twice as much.
I would like to preserve the layout I just set up, but removing this issue of the number of the stimuli.
Thank you.

P.S. before accusing me, you can read the previous message I sent to you:
"Hello.

So good so far, except that I don't understand why the script is doubling the presented stimuli.

I tried several ways: changing variables strings; deleting the return to trial.ITI; the list odf stimuli; but it's not working.
Perhaps, it's an issue arised when I put the variables the way I did to have my columns tidy up. I don't want to lose this.

Anyway, I should put the pèroper number of stimuli.
Can you help, please?"

Then, once again, I am always kind and polite to you and I'd like you to be the same to me.
thank you again

The script is not doubling presented stimuli and I have no idea why you think it is.

Actually I know, and I have still this output.
I have no idea what's the problem!

Ok, it is the variable stuff I guess, because the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp.
How can I overcome this issue not loosing the arrangement my columns layout, please?

But now I have a problem that the script output is giving me more stimuli than I should have, that is twice as much.
I would like to preserve the layout I just set up, but removing this issue of the number of the stimuli.
Thank you.

P.S. before accusing me, you can read the previous message I sent to you:
"Hello.

So good so far, except that I don't understand why the script is doubling the presented stimuli.

I tried several ways: changing variables strings; deleting the return to trial.ITI; the list odf stimuli; but it's not working.
Perhaps, it's an issue arised when I put the variables the way I did to have my columns tidy up. I don't want to lose this.

Anyway, I should put the pèroper number of stimuli.
Can you help, please?"

Then, once again, I am always kind and polite to you and I'd like you to be the same to me.
thank you again

The script is not doubling presented stimuli and I have no idea why you think it is.

Ok, it is the variable stuff I guess, because the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp.
How can I overcome this issue not loosing the arrangement my columns layout, please?
[/quote]

I once again have no idea what you are talking about or what bothers you. Things have names in the code and in the data. You can use these to explain what -- precisely -- you think the issue is. "Variable stuff" and "the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp" doesn't tell me anything.

But now I have a problem that the script output is giving me more stimuli than I should have, that is twice as much.
I would like to preserve the layout I just set up, but removing this issue of the number of the stimuli.
Thank you.

P.S. before accusing me, you can read the previous message I sent to you:
"Hello.

So good so far, except that I don't understand why the script is doubling the presented stimuli.

I tried several ways: changing variables strings; deleting the return to trial.ITI; the list odf stimuli; but it's not working.
Perhaps, it's an issue arised when I put the variables the way I did to have my columns tidy up. I don't want to lose this.

Anyway, I should put the pèroper number of stimuli.
Can you help, please?"

Then, once again, I am always kind and polite to you and I'd like you to be the same to me.

Ok, it is the variable stuff I guess, because the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp.
How can I overcome this issue not loosing the arrangement my columns layout, please?
[/quote]

I once again have no idea what you are talking about or what bothers you. Things have names in the code and in the data. You can use these to explain what -- precisely -- you think the issue is. "Variable stuff" and "the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp" doesn't tell me anything.

[b]Igor Iarrobino - 12/19/2024[/b]

Hello.

So good so far, except that I don't understand why the script is doubling the presented stimuli.

I tried several ways: changing variables strings; deleting the return to trial.ITI; the list odf stimuli; but it's not working.
Perhaps, it's an issue arised when I put the variables the way I did to have my columns tidy up. I don't want to lose this.

Anyway, I should put the pèroper number of stimnuli.
Can you help, please?

Ok, it is the variable stuff I guess, because the output is giving me the stimuli two times linking them to the two stimuli of the two trials practice and fixationResp.
How can I overcome this issue not loosing the arrangement my columns layout, please?

RE: Last issues!

freegor — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 11:14:19 GMT

Hello.

So good so far, except that I don't understand why the script is doubling the presented stimuli.

I tried several ways: changing variables strings; deleting the return to trial.ITI; the list odf stimuli; but it's not working.
Perhaps, it's an issue arised when I put the variables the way I did to have my columns tidy up. I don't want to lose this.

Anyway, I should put the pèroper number of stimnuli.
Can you help, please?
