Has anyone paired the programs Inquisit and MouseTracker before, or has anyone worked on any studies involving both programs working jointly?

What exactly do you mean by "pairing"? MouseTracker is in essence a stimulus display / response collection application, as is Inquisit. MouseTracker has a narrow / specialized focus on mouse movement trajectories, while Inquisit's approach is more general in terms of response modalities, etc. Thus, "pairing" the two doesn't make much intuitive sense to me. While it is the case that MouseTracker can -- to a certain degree -- interface with external programs (cf. http://psych.nyu.edu/freemanlab/mousetracker/help/interfacing.htm ), this interfacing exists for the purpose of enabling more elaborate / adaptive experimental flows *in MouseTracker* which require computational facilities beyond those natively built into the application (MouseTracker).

With that said, it is certainly possible to combine distinct MouseTracker and Inquisit scripts in a sense, i.e., by running one after another (e.g. a MouseTracker experiment followed by an Inquisit script or vice versa). For that see the "Running Sequences of Inquisit Scripts and Other Applications" topic in the documentation.

Hope this helps.
