The post above addresses a core issue to the pip and pop paradigm, namely trials with a single stimulus, followed by trials that pair a second stimulus with the first.

If you have not already, you might review the samples in your DriectRT folder: ...\DirectRT\Samples\5 - other features

Some of these samples would give you a framework to adapt to your research design.

If you'd like, I'm glad to assist you further.
