1. Demo Video

▶️ Click to watch/download

2. How to Run an Experiment

  1. Connect the photodiode to the acquisition system and attach it to the top-left corner of the experiment laptop.
  2. Navigate to the corresponding experiment folder under experiments/.
  3. Double-click the executable file:
    • Category Localizer: FBM-CategoryLocalizer***.exe
    • Language Mapping: FBM-LanguageMapping***.exe
    • Motor Mapping: FBM-MotorMapping***.exe
  4. A command window will open. The experiment starts after a few seconds.
  5. Fill in the required fields in the pop-up window and press OK. If you would like to add serial digital event triggers, select "use serial triggers?: yes" in the initialization window before pressing "OK".
  6. Run the experiment until completion.
  7. Verify the behavioral output in the experiment’s Results/ folder.

3. How to Add or Replace Stimuli

  • Stimuli can be replaced as long as file format and folder structure are preserved.
  • Stimuli languages can be added for Language Mapping as easily as creating respective folders for reading_completion_*** and auditory_naming_***, where *** is the chosen language 3 letter code (i.e. ALB for Albanian, GRE for Greek, etc)
  • Stimulus duration and timing are unaffected by file replacement.
  • Supported stimulus formats: .wav, .txt, .png.

Example
To replace the German auditory stimulus 06_CHAT.wav, create a new .wav file and save it using the exact same filename inside the corresponding language folder.

4. Folder Organization

All experiments are organized under the experiments/ directory and grouped by task.

5.Downloads (Windows)

Latest release of the FBM experiment suite include:

  • Language Mapping
  • Category Localizer
  • Motor Mapping

You can find them at: ➡️ https://github.com/HumanNeuronLab/FBM_Experiments/releases/latest

Each executable must be placed inside the corresponding experiment folder for the tool to function correctly.
