These are specialized, real-time psycho-physical stimulus presentation and experiment control software for studies in Lab, outdoor or MRI/MEG environments for fMRI studies.

The next generation tool for designing advanced behavioral experiments, neuroscientific studies and usability tests

EventIDE uses a special real-time core module that guarantees sub-millisecond timing accuracy in the 99.9% cases. Among other functions, that module can adjusts low-level Windows states, for instance, automatically shut-downing unnecessary background processes, while you run an experiment. In addition, EventIDE has an integrated profiler that would allow you to monitor all timing details visually in real-time and apply timing optimizations, when needed.

Phase-locked stimulus presentation

This extension for EventIDE software allows designing experiments, where stimulus presentation is locked to a selected phase of the online EEG signal. The phase prediction module continuously estimates a time interval to the next predicted occurrence of the selected phase in an online neural signal. The estimated time interval is then used by EventIDE to initiate a locked stimulus presentation.
