Dear Dave,
For this block, I presented a pictorial stimuli that is I want it to be present for all the trials, but the last one. Because I need to present another picture for the last trial, and these two pictures overlapped. (please see the attached screenshot, I basically want to remove the overlapped picture in the middle of the text and the thermometer scale). Therefore, I want to remove the previous pictorial stimuli for this trial, but keep presenting this stimuli for all the previous trials. In addition, since I need to do some randomizations, I have to keep these trials in the same block.
I have tried make 0=blank for this last trial, as well as change the order of stimulusframes for this trial, but nothing changed.
Please see the following selected code (only for the first trial that present the pictorial stimuli, and the last trial that I want to remove that stimuli), I can also send the code for the whole block, if that's more helpful.
Thank you so much in advance!

(So I basically want to remove the "picture_nomind" for the thermometer trial.)
