    <definition>Properties to describe a random dot stimulus.</definition>

    <property>
      <name>Modality</name>
      <value>
        <type>string</type>
      </value>
      <definition>The stimulus modality like acoustic, haptic, light etc.</definition>
    </property>

    <property>
      <name>Duration</name>
      <value>
        <type>float</type>
        <unit>s</unit>
      </value>
      <definition>The duration of the stimulus in seconds.</definition>
    </property>

    <property>
      <name>TemporalOffset</name>
      <value>
        <type>float</type>
        <unit>s</unit>
      </value>
      <definition>The temporal offset (with respect to the begin of the recorded trial) with which this stimulus was
        presented.
      </definition>
    </property>

    <property>
      <name>Function</name>
      <value>
        <type>string</type>
      </value>
      <definition>The function of the described stimulus. E.g. if the white noise constituted the carrier.</definition>
    </property>

    <property>
      <name>OutputChannel</name>
      <value>
        <type>string</type>
      </value>
      <definition>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.
      </definition>
    </property>

    <property>
      <name>DotCount</name>

      <value>
        <type>2-tuple</type>
      </value>
      <definition>The size of a single dot specified as 2-tuple (width;height).</definition>
    </property>

    <property>
      <name>Position</name>
      <value>
        <type>2-tuple</type>
      </value>
      <definition>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.
