I am wondering if DirectRT can provide information on whether the correct key was pressed before measuring the key release time. In the "key release" sample, the data output indicates the time at which the key pressed is released, and the subsequent key pressed & time.

However, there doesn't appear to be any information on whether participants actually press the correct key to begin with (i.e. before the key release occurs). In the sample, this key would be the spacebar. If I press and release a key other than the spacebar prior to the stimulus, this information doesn't appear to be captured anywhere in the regular data or log files.

Is there a way to verify that participants are pressing the correct key prior to the key release?

Thanks for your help!
