Grating
Properties to describe Grating stimuli.
Modality
string
The stimulus modality like acoustic, haptic, visual etc.
Type
string
The type of grating used. Commonly either Sinewave or Squarewave gratings are used.
Duration
float
s
The duration of the stimulus in seconds.
TemporalOffset
float
s
The temporal offset (with respect to the begin of the recorded trial) with which this stimulus was
presented.
Contrast
float
The contrast of the grating stimulus.
Intensity
float
The mean intensity of the grating stimulus.
GratingType
string
The type of grating, i.e. 'sinewave' or 'squarewave'.
SpatialWavelength
float
The spatial wavelength of the grating.
SpatialFrequency
float
the spatial frequency of the grating.
SpatialExtent
2-tuple
The spatial extend of the presented stimulus (width;height) e.g. (1024;768).
Orientation
float
The orientation of the grating in degrees.
DriftingVelocity
float
In case of a constantly drifting grating, the velocity
Position
2-tuple
The position of the stimulus on e.g the screen. Specified as a 2-tuple (x;y). By default this position
refers to the top-left corner of the object or its bounding box.
PositionReference
top-left
string
center
string
bottom-right
string
By default stimulus positions are specified by the coordinates of the top-left corner (or of the
bounding box). Use this property for other definitions.
Function
string
The function of the described stimulus. E.g. if the white noise constituted the carrier.
OutputChannel
string
The physical output device (e.g. an analog output channel, a monitor screen, the same loudspeaker,
etc.). This information can be used to explicitly express that several stimuli (that share the same
OutputChannel) are jointly presented.
