# TRIAL DEFINITION # The following file specifies trials, the stimuli presented in them and the stimulus whose activation will be recorded. # The definition of each trial comprises three different types of lines: # (1) @TrialName # The definition of each trial must start with a line starting with @ and followed directly and without any space by the # name of this trial. The name can contain any alphabetic, numeric or special characters but no space. # (2) StimulusName Onset Offset # For each stimulus presented in this trial, use a new line consisting of follwoing three entries separated by white-space: # 1. The stimulus name as specified in the stimulus definition file; # 2. Its onset in time steps relative to trial start. The onset has to be larger than 0 and smaller than the number # of time steps in each trial as specified in the Parameter "num_TicksPerTrial" in the paramter definition file. # 3. Its offset in time steps relative to trial start. The offset has to be larger than the onset and smaller than # the number of time steps in each trial as specified in the Parameter "num_TicksPerTrial" in the paramter definition file. # (3) ?Name StartTime EndTime # A line starting with a question mark (?) indicates the stimulus whose activation you like to record in # this trial and the time interval you would like to measure it. The output for this trial will be the averaged # activation of all E units of this stimulus, averaged over the reocording interval. Only one output per trial can be recorded. # Each line consists of the following three entries separated by space: # 1. The stimulus name as specified in the stimulus definition file. # 2. The start of the recording interval in time steps relative to trial start. The start has to be larger than 0 and smaller # than the number of time steps in each trial as specified in the Parameter "num_TicksPerTrial" in the paramter definition file. # 3. The end of the recording interval in time steps relative to trial start. The end has to be larger than the start and # smaller than the number of time steps in each trial as specified in the Parameter "num_TicksPerTrial" in the paramter # definition file. # -------------------------------------- @A A 1 30 ?US 25 30 @B B 1 30 ?US 25 30 @X X 1 30 ?US 25 30 @Y Y 1 30 ?US 25 30 @AB+ A 1 30 B 1 30 US 31 40 ?US 25 30 @XY+ Y 1 30 X 1 30 US 31 40 ?US 25 30 @ABX- A 1 30 X 1 30 B 1 30 ?US 25 30 #------------------------------------------------ # lines beginning with a hash are ignored # This file is part of a simulation programm for the Attention-Modulated Assocative Network (AMAN) # that can be downloaded from http://sydney.edu.au/science/psychology/staff/justinh/downloads/ # (see also Thorwart, Livesey & Harris, 2010)
