Starting and stopping programs (such as InputRT)
We've been conducting long experiments with DirectRT and MediaLab (with great success).
We've lately used InputRT in one experiment. This is a little tedious as we have to wade through hundreds of lines of typing to find the reaction times we need.
It would be nice if there was a way DirectRT could "turn on" a program like InpurtRT (or a mouse tracking program), and then turn it off after a specified time.
Possible programs to stop/start
The one program in particular that I was thinking about was a "mouse tracking" program which calculates the "distance" that the person moves the mouse. (There are dozens of free examples on the internet.)
I am trying to find objective evidence for a person's state. Mainly drug/withdrawal states, but I think this may be applicable to emotional states as well.
We'd want the program to turn "on" and "off" when all participants come to a specific point.
Any ideas?
