Remarks

It is sometimes useful to have a photo of a respondent to verify identity or to confirm demographic information. When the photocapture attribute is set to true, a photo is taken at the beginning of the expt, block, or trial. Photos are saved as jpg files in a subfolder called "photocaptures" (located under the folder containing the script).

Examples

The following trial takes a picture at the beginning:

<trial q1>
/ stimulustimes = [1=target1, target2, target3]
/ photocapture = true
/ validresponse = (noresponse, lbuttondown)
/ timeout = 1000
/ inputdevice = mousekey
</trial>
