Hi All,
I am writing to remind everyone that, following our recent operating system upgrade,
it is important to check that your stimuli scripts are running as intended before resuming scanning. There are testing PCs available in YNiC for this purpose, and in
many cases we can help to resolve issues you might have difficulties
with.
Psychopy users
Our testing has highlighted that some psychopy scripts will be susceptible to inaccurate timing issues with the new psychopy version (2023.2.0).
We now strongly recommend that when initialising your visual window you set waitBlanking=False, or that you ensure your script runs at 120 Hz, and the monitor is adjusted accordingly using the Applications>>Settings>>Display menu.
In addition, the event.getkeys() function is deprecated, an example update to fix this can be found here:
Please remember that it is your responsibility to thoroughly test your stimuli scripts and ensure that everything is working as intended.
Cheers,
Rich
