Description

== nrec is a software package for stimulation, data acquisition and experiment control.==

Originally it was designed to be used in the cognitive brain research, but it is made to be as generally applicable as possible:

nrec is based on standard technology for robustness and enduring usability:

  • hardware independence:
  • software standards:
    • it runs on a standard debian linux

    • it is developed in standard C++

    • parameter files format: standard XML

    • data storage files format: standard hdf5, Matlab readable

    • graphics primitives are built using the standard OpenGL library


Current features:

  • graphics primitives:
    • circle
    • dotfield (RDK)
    • arrow
    • movie (avi)
    • image (png)
  • eyetracker calibration, fixation control, online data visualization
  • the option to make a primitive a visual target
  • controllers that make the primitives move and jump and that handle digital in- or outputs
  • freely configurable digital channels for respone buttons, reward systems, LEDs etc.
  • experiment control by strategy based parameter setting
