Dear Ben,
We recently used a touchscreen (Keytec, Magic Touch Screen, KTMT-1500-USB) linked to Matlab to obtain responses from children. I think it cosr £150 at the time. That isn't too bad really. It was very simply to set up and was up and running immediately.The touchscreen is simply a mouse. It's actually pretty simple in terms of the code for Matlab. We used it to obtain 2AFC responses from children. You need to split the screen into two (left and right). You then set up the code such that the location of the response (based on the size of you monitor) records some number 1 or 2. Matlab just needs to be told how to convert the spatial location of the response on the monitor into a number 0 or 1/ 1 or 2. It will depend on what you want to do, but it is really easy. If you want more info let me know. thanks Sandra Quinn > Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 09:25:54 -0500 > From: "Hornsby, Benjamin Wade Young" <ben.hornsby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Suggestions for touch screen tablets for auditory experiments > > --_000_AE2199B600823B4A9CC19B6E88BE050213AD65450Aitshcwnem04ds_ > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > Hi All, > I am working on a program to present nonsense syllables (CV and VC) at vari= > ous SNRs and in various filter conditions.
