Presentation

For an extended manual on Presentation software, see Neurobs help page, this page is only for NatMEG specific configurations.

Some tips and tricks are available in Presentation-script-tips

Example scripts: * Resting state paradigm * Auditory oddball paradigm

Setting up the response buttons

  1. Add the input ports you want to your experiment.

You need an input port which is port6 for the fORP-buttons response pads. Select the Response Device and configure the port settings.

Port settings

  1. Add output ports

Here port0 is Button pad 1 and port4 is Button pad 2

Port input settings

  1. Add response buttons

Here you need to add active buttons to the experiment, both from the Button pads and from the keyboard, should you need it.
