The Pressure Box
These researchers wanted to record not only the time of various
button presses, but the force with which the buttons were being pressed.
Think of the difference between gently pressing a car's brake pedal
or slamming it to avoid an accident.
The pressure box contains four standard industrial strength
pushbuttons, and one *giant* button which measures almost 4" in diameter.
The giant button is mounted such that an internal load cell measures
the force applied during the button-down event.
A series of data points are collected from the load cell in
the 1 second following a keypress, and these datapoints are
then delivered to MediaLab or DirectRT and stored in a separate text file.
