  Hi Raph

  Set your second fixation to duration to 0, add an inline script with the following

  #create a keyboard
  my_keyboard = keyboard(keylist=['z', 'x'], timeout=10)
  #create an experiment variable
  var.my_result = 'None'
  #to get first response
  first = 0
  #get current time
  loop_start = clock.time() 
  loop_time = 0
  #wait 1800ms
  while loop_time < 1800:
      key, end_time = my_keyboard.get_key()
      #get current loop running time
      loop_time = self.time() - loop_start
      #first response is made
      if key != None and first ==0:
          first = 1
          var.my_result = key
  

  Change the keylist to match the desired response. The variable my_result will be available to the logger.

  This is written for Opensesame ver 3.

  Hope this helps

  Hi Raph,

  Gary's method works, but there's an even simpler way if you don't want to resort to inline_scripts. The duration of your post-stimulus fixation dot is set to 0ms, the keyboard_response is set to 1800ms, and after the keyboard_response you place another fixation dot sketchpad with duration set to 1800-[response_time]. That should do the trick!

  Cheers,

  Josh
