iandol/opticka

Opticka is an experiment manager built on top of the Psychophysics toolbox (PTB) for MATLAB. It runs experimental tasks using flexible state machine logic and easily does dynamic methods-of-constants type experiments with full behavioural control. It uses a class system to create simple to use visual stimuli using experimenter friendly units. Opticka can use an Eyelink eyetracker, Plexon Omniplex neurophysiology data collection and general TTL control using either a cheap LabJack (ms precision) or DataPixx/Display++ (µs precision). It contains analysis routines linked to Fieldtrip for spike and LFP data easily parsed in terms of the experimental variables.

opticka's Issues

Error in optickatest (line 42), myStims = metaStimulus();

Hello. A class-based approach to PTB sounds great, but I'm encountering an unexpected error trying to demo the system you've designed. Specifically, I'm running the optickatest demo with a fresh clone of the master branch (b25deac), but receive the following

Error using metaStimulus
The property 'verbose' restriction defined in class 'metaStimulus' must match the property definition in base class 'optickaCore'.

Error in optickatest (line 42)
myStims = metaStimulus();

I assume that this is an issue with my relatively old version of MATLAB (2016b). But, do you know what might be up?

Thanks,
Patrick
