Re: Perceptual experiments

Greetings Tarun,

        

For
Windows platforms, Presentation
(www.neurobs.com)
might be a good choice, particularly if you are interfacing to
physiological recording equipment.  It supports calibrated outputs
and enables you to control multi-channel sound cards (e.g., 24
bit/96k)  with several different modes for sound mixing.  It
can play pre-recorded sounds, synthesize relatively simple sounds, and
has a Matlab interface for more complicated tasks.  There are also
some freeware tools for calibrating the timing  of your stimuli (a
problem in multi-tasking systems) with a variety of calibration results
from different sound cards.posted on the website.    A
full-functioning version of Presentation can be downloaded for free and
used for 45 days.  Student licenses are $99/yr.  Example
experiments are available both on the website and at
www.neuroexpt.com
.  That site also contains links to about 15 other software
platforms that might be considered for stimulus delivery.
