Hi everyone,
I have a cross-modal (visual-auditory) experiment that I built using Builder in version 3.0.6 (standalone) on a Windows machine (Windows 7 and 10). Sound files are in .wav format and each lasts for 500 ms. Everything runs smoothly, but when I was auditing the logfiles to check the stimulus onset and offset to verify that they have been presented for the intended duration, I realized that the auditory events are not logged.
I used the default settings for the audio hardware:
I then created a stripped down version where I only present a fixation cross and two successive auditory stimuli, followed by a keyboard response, just to make sure that it was not specific to the experiment that I created:
The logfile shows this:
| 5.6200 | EXP | Created window1 = Window(allowGUI=False, allowStencil=False, args=UNKNOWN, autoLog=True, bitsMode=UNKNOWN, blendMode=‘avg’, color=array([0., 0., 0.]), colorSpace=‘rgb’, fullscr=<method-wrapper ‘getattribute’ of attributeSetter object at 0x0EA460B0>, gamma=None, kwargs=UNKNOWN, lms=UNKNOWN, monitor=<psychopy.monitors.calibTools.Monitor object at 0x1110DB50>, multiSample=False, name=‘window1’, numSamples=2, pos=[0.0, 0.0], screen=0, size=array([1920, 1200]), stereo=False, units=‘height’, useFBO=True, useRetina=False, viewOri=0.0, viewPos=None, viewScale=None, waitBlanking=True, winType=‘pyglet’) |
|---|---|---|
| 5.6200 | EXP | window1: recordFrameIntervals = False |
| 5.7857 | EXP | window1: recordFrameIntervals = True |
| 5.9693 | EXP | window1: recordFrameIntervals = False |
| 6.0419 | EXP | Created text = TextStim(class=<class ‘psychopy.visual.text.TextStim’>, alignHoriz=‘center’, alignVert=‘center’, antialias=True, autoLog=True, bold=False, color=‘white’, colorSpace=‘named’, contrast=1.0, depth=0.0, flipHoriz=False, flipVert=False, font=‘Arial’, fontFiles=, height=0.1, italic=False, languageStyle=‘LTR’, name=‘text’, opacity=1.0, ori=0, pos=array([0., 0.]), rgb=array([255., 255., 255.]), text=’+’, units=‘height’, win=Window(…), wrapWidth=1) |
| 6.0596 | EXP | Sound set volume 0.600 |
| 6.0602 | EXP | Sound set volume 0.600 |
| 6.0682 | EXP | text: autoDraw = True |
<-------- there should be timestamps for the two sound files here -------->
|7.9044 |DATA |Keypress: space|
|7.9185 |EXP |window1: mouseVisible = True|
It seems like sound onsets and offsets are not automatically logged. Is there a way I can include a code to log these events, or include them in the data file?
Thanks!
Darren
