stimulus/ramp
Ramp
A ramp stimulus may either linearly increase or decrease in amplitude. Starting from a certain start
amplitude and reaching with a certain slope the destination amplitude.
Modality
string
The stimulus modality like acoustic, haptic, light etc.
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.
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.
StartAmplitude
float
The start amplitude of the ramp.
EndAmplitude
float
The ending amplitude.
Slope
float
The slope with which the ramp ascends respectively descends.
RampStartTime
float
s
The time the ramp started with respect to the beginning of this ramp stimulus.
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.
SpatialExtent
2-tuple
The spatial extend of the presented stimulus (width;height) e.g. (1024;768).
