sending marker on OpenSesame & synchronisation between OpenSesame and emotive pro

Hi everyone,

I am building a multiple choice questions in opensesame. My participant needs to select one of the answers by clicking the mouse. The data will be recorded continuously while the participant is answering all questions, however I I need to send a marker when the participant clicks the mouse. Does anyone know how to do it on OpenSesame? also how to synchronize between OpenSesame and emotive pro?

I appreciate any guidance.

  • Hi Megen,

    The only option for this to work would be close your form once participant click on an option, save information on the click (timing and choice), and then restart the same form right away. An intuitive way to implement this, would be wrapping your form into loop/sequence, for which the sequence includes the form and the logger.

    Important notes to this approach:

    • the repeat value of the loop must either be set to as many questions as you have, or (probably more robust) to some high value larger than the number of questions that you have. But then have a "next" button.
    • a next button provides also an intuitive way of leaving the loop (so that you're not stuck in it endlessly). Then you have to set the break_if statement of the loop, on whether the next button was pressed or not.
    • To make your form remember the previous answer, you can specify the default chosen option.

    See here for details.

    how to synchronize between OpenSesame and emotive pro?

    I don't know emotive pro. But if there is a Python interface (api) for it, you will be able to access this device from within an inline_script. Sorry, but I can't really give more details for this.


    I hope this helps,

    Eduard
