The STP30W is a stand-alone system that measures subject responses to visual or auditory stimuli. It can present visual stimuli on a computer screen, or auditory stimuli via headphones or speakers, and simultaneously (1ms resolution) send trigger signals to an MP30 System for data synchronization and collection purposes.
For performing accurate (1 ms resolution) reaction time measurements, the STP30W includes a six-pushbutton response box. For measuring physiological responses to stimuli, the STP30W includes an optically isolated interface, permitting up to three synchronization signals (input) between the STP30W and the MP30 System.
The SuperLab software can be used to change the placement of visual stimuli on the screen, change the screen's background color, choose from a variety of input and timing options, and provide feedback to subjects based on either response or reaction time. Different trigger channels can be paired to different visual or auditory stimuli to perform sophisticated evoked response averaging tests (e.g. P300).
See BSL PRO Lesson H30 Stroop Effect for details of the classic psychology experiment and a sample of how SuperLab works with the BSL System.
NOTE: Second PC required.The synchronization signal(s) coming from the STP30W can be directed to a BSL MP30 System running on a PC or a Macintosh, but it's not possible to run the STP30W on the same computer as the BSL MP30 System. The STP30W requires that the SuperLab software and a Digital I/O card (PCI slot required) be placed on a PC running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Mac OS X.
Setup: 1. Unscrew the pin for Ground (GND D) on the STP30.
2. Unscrew the pin(s) for Input Port 8-15 on the STP30 for the required number of SuperLab channels.
3. Plug the Ground pin from the SS44L interface cable into the GND D port on the STP30.
4. Plug the signal pin from the SS44L cable into Input Port(s) 8-15 on the STP30 and note the port number(s) for SuperLab programming [Input 8 - SuperLab 0, Input 9 - SuperLab 1, etc.].
5. Plug the SS44L Smart Sensor into an available MP30 channel (CH) input.
6. If you are using multiple channels for SuperLab, repeat steps 3-5 but stack the ground pins into the GND of the first SS44L cable.
