Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 4	Dear all, In my experiment I am recording vocal responses while displaying a picture. The script looks like this: <trial practice> / stimulustimes = [0=image1] / beginresponsetime = 0 / trialduration = 4000 / validresponse = (anyresponse) / inputdevice = voicerecord / recorddata = true / responseinterrupt = trial </trial> <picture image1> / items = ("image1.jpg") / size = (700, 700) </picture> The problem is that as soon as one starts vocalizing, the display of the picture disappears. Is there a way to program the experiment so that the vocal response will be recorded without the picture disappearing for that specific trial (in this case 4 sec.)? Thank you for any help! Robert

Robert Set the <picture> element's /erase attribute to false <picture image1> / items = ("image1.jpg") / size = (700, 700) / erase = false </picture> and do <trial practice> / stimulustimes = [0=eraser, image1] / beginresponsetime = 0 / trialduration = 4000 / validresponse = (anyresponse) / inputdevice = voicerecord / recorddata = true / responseinterrupt = trial </trial> with <shape eraser> / shape = rectangle / size = (100%, 100%) / color = white / erase = false </shape> to make sure that any traces of images from previous trials are properly overwritten.

Thanks much, that works!
