E-Prime triggers for starting/stopping ActiView EEG data collection

Tue Nov 22 22:51:45 UTC 2011

Thanks.  Of course, anybody is welcome to register for the class as 
soon as we have it ready, which we hope will be soon after the New Year.

This will be a real, paid, not-for-credit course through Michigan 
State University, complete with quizzes and some basic assignments 
(in one of them, you even search for answers on this very Group!).  I 
am just now finishing writing a lesson on "Data Handling in Depth", 
which is the last lesson I have to write.

We have almost 6.5 hours of video so far, and should have 7-8 hours 
when done.  If you do the course properly then it will take even 
longer -- in the videos I guide you through a set of carefully 
designed exercises, and you are supposed to follow along while 
running E-Prime on your own system, pausing & restarting the video as 
needed.  Then you turn in your exercises so that I know that you did this :).

I think it only fair to tell this audience that the course will be 
rather light on E-Basic.  I do introduce E-Basic (and even local and 
global variables, etc.), and use as much E-Basic as needed in the 
"fMRI, EEG, and Psychophysiology" lesson, so students do get just 
enough to get started.  But beyond that I feel that E-Basic would 
take an entire course to itself, and using E-Basic well first 
requires a core understanding of E-Prime and its E-Objects, which I 
hope to supply with this Introduction course.

We are still working on a web "storefront" for advertising the 
course.  I expect that we will annnounce all that here as soon as we 
have it ready.  I will also keep information of interested Group 
members on file so that I can make sure to notify you when we have it ready.
