Timing counts! … Why and how checking for event sequence timing in computerized experiments

Seminar and meetings
Most of the experiments in cognitive psychology and neuropsychology are conducted with computers. Many experiments require very precise display durations of events, such as in fast stimuli presentation experiments or priming paradigms. Softwares and button boxes sold to design experiments usually claim “millisecond precision”. Should we be happy with that? Does is mean that we can be sure that stimuli are presented during the duration we expect by a few milliseconds? In this talk, I will discuss these issues and present the Black Box Toolkit as a tool to precisely measure timing accuracy and to identify sources of timing errors.
