Converting from Presentation Experiment to E-Prime format

[Dilip Kumar]

Hi David,

Thank you for sharing your experiences and suggestions. I have basically 
started from the scratch here. We already had the pre-designed experiments 
in Presentation format but now those need to be re-designed in E-prime as 
our previous collaborator used presentation for fMRI Exam. Our new 
collaborator have a 3T MRI that came with E-prime package so I am assuming 
they have Professional version. I have to design the experiment and forward 
them in order to conduct subject trials. I have gone through E-prime 
getting started guide but I still lack in understanding the process of 
designing an experiment. I will go trough youtube tutorials and see what 
ideas can I get for designing the experiment.

Thanks.

Warmest Regards,
Dilip
