send pause tag to EEG

[Yan Yu]

Hi,

A very "green-handed" question: how can I send a tag of pause to EEG? 

In my experiment, I am presenting several paragraphs, and I have 1-4 tags in each sentence. Right now the experiment set up using a marker list to send all the tags to EEG (Geodesic system). I want to add a pause object and tag it whenever I pause. Since the pause is not in the marker list, I have no idea how to tag it.

Thanks in advance,

Yan

Hi,

We have an EGI system here too, and yes, the ‘offtotheloo’ tag seems to be missing. Then again, are you really interested in analysing that anyway? If you do event-related, it is generally the case that info outside the range of tags is thrown away anyway. Let’s say, however, you like to include ‘resting state activity’, then typically, you’d include that as a condition, right? So, add a cellnumber to the CellList (see EGI biological addons for E-Prime manual), label it ‘Pause’, and just send a trigger like you would trigger any other condition. Afterwards, you can always filter out, or in, those triggers.

 

Unless you actually want to pause recording as such, but then I’d suggest just pausing the recording of EEG on your (net station?) computer.

Best,

Mich
