We wouldn’t be able to collect skin conductance online, we’d have to do it in the lab. We’re just looking for experiment software that could work for both online and in-lab experiments, so we could collect some data in-lab and then get a larger, purely behavioral, sample through an online experiment. Regardless, thank you for your help!

Hi, Jeremy.

Thanks for the response. For some of the experiments we run, we collect data on event-locked physiological responses to stimuli (e.g., an increase in skin conductance when a particular image is presented). In our current in-lab set-up, the task computer sends a trigger to a nearby physio-data-collecting computer to tell it exactly when a stimulus is presented, so the event-related skin conductance response can be accurately measured. We’re trying to find software that can be used to run experiments online and in-lab, but, to run experiments in-lab, we’d need the software to be able to send signals to a nearby computer collecting physiological data, very rapidly, rather than just sending data to a distant URL. I was curious if there’s any way to do this through PennController, though it sounds like it might not be designed for that sort of thing.

Thanks
Daniel
