Delay-estimation visual working memory task

This is the matlab code repository for delayed-estimation visual working memory (TMVWM) project. The main contributor for this project is Ru-Yuan Zhang.

This code is mainly for patient studies. In a single session, we tested many set size levels and several trials.

History

• 2020/10/21,
  • RZ combine the main experiment and practice
  • RZ add to 2 rest during the exp
  • RZ add 'esc' as the key to quit
  • RZ update data analysis script
• 2020/10/16, RZ fixed the Mac retin
• 2020/10/12, RZ add multiple set size levels
• 2019/12/05, RZ saved all non-target color in a trial
• 2019/10/25 RZ add 4 seconds response constraint, otherwise the trial will be added at the end.
• 2019/09/11 RZ fixed the bugs
• 2019/07/01 RZ created the github repository

Instructions of running experiments

Preparation

• Please download Ru-Yuan Zhang's utility function repository https://github.com/ruyuanzhang/RZutil, and add it to your matlab path
• You should know your monitor physical size [height cm, width cm] and resolution [height px, widwth px].
• Please keep the view distance roughly 50cm.

Running experiment

1. For each run, simply type the subject's initial to run the experiment.

>> VWM_rect_new_rz.m
Please the subject initial (e.g., RYZ or RZ)?: RZ
Please choose the exp (1, main exp; 0, practice): 1

2. Data will be automatically saved with time stamp.
