random dot motion
December 27, 2019 10:49AM
Hi,
I have two problems.
In the first place, I want to know if there are others stimuli about random dot of motion. For example, rotation, radiation ( expansion, contraction ) and so on.
in the second place, I want to present random dot of motion in different position trial by trial, but random dot of motion can't be written in condition file. If I write it in timing script, all trial become one trial. I don't know what should I do.
Thanks for your time,
han

There are many ways to change some parameters trial by trial.

You can use the Info field of the conditions file
https://monkeylogic.nimh.nih.gov/docs_CreatingTask.html#ConditionsFile

or set different values to variables depending on TrialRecord.CurrentTrialNumber
https://monkeylogic.nimh.nih.gov/docs_TrialRecordStructure.html

or determine the parameters in the userloop and send them to the timing script via the User field of TrialRecord.

Thanks for your response. Happy new year! These give me a good inspiration.
As for the first question, how can I solve it?

I don't understand your first question. You can make your own stimulus adapter, if you need something else.

By using the adapter RandomDotMotion, I can present a pattern of some dots. But the problem is that these dots are squares. How can I change them to circular dots?
