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:
https://wiki.pages.ynic.york.ac.uk/IT/summer_2023_upgrade.html#psychopy
Please remember that it is your responsibility to thoroughly test your
stimuli scripts and ensure that everything is working as intended.
Cheers,
Rich
