Logging an RT with a window of time

[hfarmer]

Hi Jeff,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, thanks for the example code, I didn't know about the condition command before but can see that it would be very useful. However I have one more question which is how to remove the "True" condition after each trial so that the program moves on to the next trial.

At the moment I am getting the information logged but the program seems to stick on the first condition rather than timing out after 3 seconds. Could you let me know what the "while True" part of the code refers to? I assume it just means while in that function but am a bit unclear on how to end the function with a command.

Best,

Harry

The while True line always evaluates to True so the loop keeps repeating. To run that code a set number of times you could use a for loop or have an expression following while that evaluates to False after several loops. Try replacing:

while True

with:

for i in range(1,5):
	
	print 'start trial {}'.format(i)
