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.
