Brain Imaging & Analysis Center

ShowPlay is designed to automatically record a variety of behavioral variables during any real-time paradigm. Behavioral recording is controlled by a few standard control variables. For recording physiological signals such as heart-beat or repiration you must have appropriate physiological transducer hardware installed and connected to your computer. Once enabled, physiological signals are recorded throughout every ShowPlay paradigm without any modification to the paradigm itself.

Recording physiological signals involves 3 steps:

• 1 - configuring the computer hardware used for reading the signals
• 2 - setting the software control variables to indicate which channels to record
• 3 - connecting the physiological transducers to the subject and verifying their signals

Step 1 - Configuring the computer hardware
Using CIGAL's Settings menu, select: Configuration Settings

Step 2 - Setting the software control variables
Using CIGAL's Settings menu, select: Hardware Settings

Step 3 - Verifying physiological transducer signals
Using CIGAL's Display menu, select: Show Behavior and then choose Real-time values.
