URL of experiment: Pavlovia
Description of the problem: So I need to conduct an online semantic decision study with about 160 trials, from each trial, besides semantic decision RT I also need a short audio file (0.5 to 3seconds). As I’m running the pilot (online on Pavlovia) I see that I have to save the audio file on my computer after every trial, and then click on the experimental screen again, and then the next trial appears.
This would be incredibly impractical for the participants, to save every single of the 160 audio trials on their computer and then send them back to me. Is there any way the files could be saved on Pavlovia itself? Or at least on the participant’s computer but all at once somewhere in a folder, at the end of the experiment, not after each trial?
This only happens during piloting because all data is saved locally. When the experiment is set to running, the audio files will be saved to the server.
Oh really! That’s a relief! Thank so much for your speedy reply!
Do you know if it’s possible to have just one audio file spanning multiple trials within a loop? Or will I have to have an audio file per routine repeat?
To clarify, are you wanting a single microphone recording spanning multiple trials? When playing audio files I start the playback in code. Perhaps the same thing can be done for microphone recordings.
Yes, exactly. Ideally something where I get one recording per “block”, each of which contains 8 looped trials. So that I end up with 2 audio recordings rather than 16 individual ones.
Alternatively, I could make the different stimuli appear/disappear 8 times with code within a single routine, but that seems a bit messier.
