audiovis.py plays audio or visual stimuli (images or text) according to a pre-specified timing schedule.
The stimuli are listed in text files having one row per stimulus and 3 (comma separated) columns:
- col1 specifies the onset times in milliseconds.
- col2 specifies the type of stimulus: currently the program recognizes 'sound', 'picture', 'text' or 'rsvp'
- the content of col3 depends on the stimulus type:
- a filename for 'sound' or 'picture' stimuli
- a string of characters for 'text' or 'rsvp'
Several csv filenames can be passed as arguments on the command line (they will simply be merged)
audiovis requires the expyriment module
Try:
python audiovis.py sounds/list1.csv pictures/list1.csv speech/list1.csv
Press 't' to start the stimulation (during the stimulation, you can always press Esc to interrupt the script).
Then try:
python audiovis.py rsvp/list1.csv sounds/list1.csv
To get the full list of options:
python audiovis.py -h
For example, it is possible to display a picture, e.g. containing instructions, using the --splash option. The computer will display this picture and then wait for the participant to press the spacebar to start the experiment.
python audiovis.py --splash instructions.jpg --text-font TITUSCBZ.TTF --background-color 127 127 127 -- rsvp/list1.csv sounds/list1.csv
