The facility uses a BOLDScreen32 LCD monitor ( user manual) attached to the stimulus delivery computer. In addition, we have both a trackball (which acts as a standard 2-button mouse) and a joystick (which acts as a standard joystick but can be configured to act as a mouse) for your use. As the “5” button is reserved for the scanner sync pulse (don’t ask), the 8-button system makes 1-4 and 6-9 responses while the 5-button cylinder makes 1 (thumb), 2 (yellow), 3 (green), 4 (red) and 6 (blue). In either of these, responses come in as simple key events with numbers corresponding to actual buttons. The difference there is that pressing a key and holding it down acts like a simple press instead of a press and hold. “mode 001 – HID KEY 12345” is also a viable mode. We run it in “mode 003 – HID NAR 12345” which means it will report digits corresponding to each button and buttons being held down act as a keyboard being held down (i.e., they do not “auto-release”). For both of these, the fORP 932 system ( user manual) translates the individual button presses into keyboard events (individual numbers corresponding to each button). Typical experiments will use either the 8-button bimanual response box (two handheld boxes with 4 buttons each) or the 5-button one-handed cylinder. The fiber-optic response box system from Cambridge Research has a range of devices for you to use.

(E-Prime v2 and v3 users should be able to bring their license dongle). Contact us if there is another package you need. We have installed PsychoPy, E-Prime v2, and MATLAB /Octave + Psychtoolbox for running experiments. It is fully configured to work with the BOLDScreen, fORP32 response box, eye tracker, and audio delivery system.

The computer uses an Intel i7 CPU (4.2-4.5 GHz, 7th Gen 7700k) with 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 based graphics card (8GB RAM). If there are aspects about it that absolutely won’t work for your experiments, please let us know. Everything is wired and setup for this machine. We strongly encourage you to use the machine rather than your own. The facility is setup with a Windows-based desktop designed to be able to control your experiment, present stimuli, and gather responses.
