Calibration |
Brief Description |
|---|---|---|
Display - Spatial |
Presents customized grids on the subject’s display in order to perform spatial calibrations of the projectors (e.g. centering, keystone distortion, etc.) |
|
Display - Luminance |
Screen luminance measurement. |
|
Display - Gamma |
Calculation of normalized Gamma color look-up tables (CLUTs) for linear display luminance. |
|
Reward volume |
Perform automated liquid reward delivery at different system pressure levels to calculate volume (ml) per unit time (ms) of solenoid valve opening. |
|
Photodiode marker |
Test expected photodiode input signals (analog / digital) across a range of luminance changes in order to check placement and determine appropriate marker settings. |
|
Scanner sync. |
Test expected scanner TTL pulse input to make sure that pulses are accurately detected and stimulus timing is locked to scanner TRs. |
|
Audio SPL |
Audio sound pressure level measurement. |
|
Lever response |
Test lever inputs. |
