Showplay is a program for performing fMRI behavioral experiments, written within the CIGAL programming language. Showplay is a fairly generic program designed to be easy to configure for a wide variety of fMRI tasks. Simple task paradigms can usually be specified and run simply by creating a single text file, known as a paradigm parameter file (PPF). For more complex tasks, a user may also want to add customized CIGAL program files for pre or postprocessing. Showplay itself is written as a collection of discrete program modules, all of which are simple text files, and any of which can be modified if desired for specific applications. | Showplay is a program for performing fMRI behavioral experiments, written within the CIGAL programming language. Showplay is a fairly generic program designed to be easy to configure for a wide variety of fMRI tasks. Simple tasks are defined by a single text file, known as a paradigm parameter file (PPF), that starts with a set of parameter specifications (screen background color, etc) and then has a list of all the stimulus events. For more complex tasks, a user may also want to add customized CIGAL program files for pre or postprocessing. Showplay itself is written as a collection of discrete program modules, all of which are simple text files, and any of which can be modified if desired for specific applications. |
