[Product introduction] Black Box ToolKit v2: Calibration tool for stimulus presentation and response timing in psychological experiments | Information dissemination media for research and development TEGAKARI

On the Unipos website, a calibration tool for stimulus presentation and response timing in psychological experiments "Black Box ToolKit v2 / mBlack Box ToolKit v2page has been added.

Black Box ToolKit v2 and mBlack Box ToolKit v2 are devices for verifying the accuracy and precision of stimulus presentation in psychological experiments.Various factors can cause delays and errors in the presentation timing of stimuli such as images and sounds in experiments and the recording of responses to them using response pads, etc., and it is possible that correct experimental results cannot be obtained (see below). (see diagram).

Black Box ToolKit v2 and mBlack Box ToolKit v2 tune the accuracy of the experiment generator by automatically simulating what it would look like if a real human were participating in the experiment.The timing of all stimulus, synchronization, and response events can be measured very accurately, which can be useful for comparing actual timings with those measured by your device.
