How to construct a visual stimulus response paradigm
 One of the most common paradigm types constructed with an experiment generator is visual stimulus-response. Typically a participant is shown an image or series of images and has to respond accordingly. When they have responded a reaction time and their choice is logged for later analysis.
In the series of screencams that follow I will show you how to display an image, alter display timings, accept a response and view data.
Estimated package time 10-15mins.
Constructing a simple visual stimulus-response paradigm in Superlab involves a number of steps.

Step 1: How to display an image
Here I'll show you how to display an image on a basic timeline. This includes selecting an image, positioning it and altering properties governing how it is presented.

Step 3: Run the experiment
Here I'll show you how to test run your experiment to make sure that the image is diaplayed as intended and that responses are acted on and recorded correctly.

Step 5: Analysing data in Microsoft Excel
Once you have run your experiment and collected some data you can use Microsoft Excel to perform basic data analysis. Here I show you how to view experimental data and highlight some of the key variables.
