BTW, variability of 8 to 14 ms could reflect differing time to process
image (write to video memory). If images are same size (kb) this could
mean that your machine's video drivers and e-prime don't talk well. If
they are different sizes and driver communication IS ok, the larger
images should be those where delay is longest. You might need to check
your machine's suitability for visual stimulus presentation (nVidia
drivers sometimes show large slop .. if you have nVidia chip, try ATI
radeon card maybe, if this is the case).<div class="im"><br><br>

I have read Chapter 3 of
Userguide thoroughly, but still feel a little confusion. In each block of
my programme, there was a TextDisplay, a Inline Scripe and a
ImageDisplay(stimulous).To synchronize the signal of NeroScan and the
stimuli of e-Prime, I have inverted a in-line WritePort command before
"ImageDisplay" and set the PreRelease time (100ms) in the
TextDisplay. However, the unwanted delay or unsynchronization still
existed between the e-Prime and EEG recording system result in anormal
delay of N170 component. Thus, I want to ask whether the WritePort
command was sent to the recording system at the beginning of Prelease
time or at the point when stimulous presents on the screen. In other
word, I want to know whether the WritePort command and image were sent at
the same time from E-Prime.<br>
Thank you for your concerning.<br>
