1. 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:
2. nrec is based on standard technology for robustness and enduring usability
- hardware independence:
standard PC
standard graphics card
comedi data acquisition library supports a lot of standard cards/boards/boxes
- software standards:
3. Current features
- graphics primitives:
- circle
- arrow
- movie (avi)
- image (png)
- square plaids
- 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
- luminance correction by using an alpha mask loadable from a simple file
