In past work I've used Matlab to= develop the base program, TDT software for stimulus presentation and Matla= b for GUIs that allow subjects to respond via mouse click on a computer mon= itor. However, I'd like to branch out and use a touch screen monitor to collect s= ubject responses. My target population is elderly hearing impaired listener= s and my thought is the touch screen response system may be easier than usi= ng a mouse. The screen would need to be large enough to clearly display all= the consonant (23) and vowel (3) options for my stimuli. I've not done this type of programming and am hopeful that some of you with= experience might direct me to specific touch screen monitors that would be= appropriate and computer programming languages (if Matlab won't do it) to = use to develop this type of program. I'm also working on a budget for this = so any information regarding approximate costs for specific touch screen mo= nitors that would be appropriate for this type of experiment would also be = appreciated. Just starting out so all comments are appreciated. Thanks much, Ben Benjamin W.Y.
