<div dir="ltr"><div>If you don't need accuracy under 100 ms, you could use the TCP/IP communication protocol, which is also supported by EPrime when using inline script. However, that would not be good enough for most EEG/ERP experiments, so in that case you could use the other (LSL) protocol. The downside of that is that LSL is not supported by eprime, and the only way to implement it would be to use an external DLL or COM object that is programmed in a programming language like C++. (Which requires serious programming skills.) So, when that is not an option, you should probably buy the TTL input recorder because it is not very difficult to generate the TTL trigger on computers that have a parallel printer port. (Double check this on the PC you are going to use for EPrime.) By using the trigger input, you will loose the option to send unique markers for specific events or types of stimuli. Perhaps it would be possible to combine the TTL input recorder and TCP/IP to get the best of both worlds: sufficient accuracy and coded markers.</div>

It has a TCP/IP port opened for send triggers and it seems to be the easiest way of communication. <br>
Here ( <a href="http://wiki.neuroelectrics.com/index.php/Interacting_with_NIC" target="_blank">http://wiki.neuroelectrics.com/index.php/Interacting_with_NIC</a> ) is explained how to interact with NIC using other software, and the choices they give are TCP/IP and LSL.<br>
Also, I saw they have an External TTL Input Recorder ( <a href="http://www.neuroelectrics.com/sites/neuroelectrics.com/files/enobio/NE_TTL_Trigger_Receiver_UserManual.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.neuroelectrics.com/sites/neuroelectrics.com/files/enobio/NE_TTL_Trigger_Receiver_UserManual.pdf</a> ) but I don't have it . If there is not solution I guess I would have to buy it.<br>
<br>Hope anyone can help me. Thanks!!<br><br>El viernes, 25 de julio de 2014 09:35:44 UTC+2, Paul Groot escribió:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div dir="ltr">Hi MIsabel,<div><br></div><div>Unfortunately you cannot synchronize a stimulus computer and an EEG recorder accurately this way. Most EEG systems have a special feature to synchronize with external systems. Traditionally this is done by using a so called TTL signal, which can be generated using a parallel printer port for example. Such a signal can be generated by EPRime with millisecond accuracy. But there exists other synchronization methods as well, so it depends on the EEG recorder what type of synchronization is supported. Perhaps I could be more specific if you mention the type of EEG device you're using...</div>
