variable block duration in builder
win10; psychopy version 2020.1.3 ;standard standalone

hi

i am new to pychopy. i am currently designing a motor imagery experimentation session. to avoid adaption of the brain to the stimuli i would like to implement a break with a variable duration between 1 to 2.5 seconds. unfortunately, i wasn’t…
hi there,

i am making some assumptions about the requirements of your experiment here but lets see if this helps.

short break

would you like the short break to be at the start of each trial ? i.e. the inter-trial-interval? if so try the following:

add a code component to your “trial” routine (c…
hi,

you can use gpi/o to start/pause/stop your program by using field bus.

please see the following setting.

[\_20210611\_134829] it depends on several factors.
what medication one is on (some meds counteract or greatly diminish the effects of lsd).
whether or not one has taken any substances that shows cross tolerance with lsd (psilocin mushrooms, mdma, some "research chemicals") recently, usually within the past three days. this will diminish the effects.
if the substance taken is in fact lsd, some other substance or nothing psychoactive at all.
the amount of lsd (concentration and how much it has degraded).
if the lsd is taken with chlorinated water (chlorine is pretty good at quickly degrading lsd).
for ones first time with this substance, it is of vital importance for there to be a "trip sitter" present, someone who has information about how to "sit for a tripper", and that the users state of mind is such to facilitate a good experience, as well as the setting that the trip is to be taken in.
in such a case, it may be prudent that if one does wish to have such an experience, that one is informed as to how powerful such an altered state of perception can be. 

lsd can last up to 12 hrs, although the majority of effects usually only last 6 - 9 hrs. for first time use, if one has no or little experience with strong hallucinogens, it would be better possibly to take just 1/4 - 1/2 of a hit and not re-dose, regardless of how one may feel, for at least 3 -5 days after.
then, if one is comfortable with the experience, dependant on how comfortable, then raise the dose by up to double.

i can't find the exact source right now, but psychologists found that 1 microgram per kg of body weight was sufficient in most patients to elicit a hallucinatory response.
in some patients, especially those with alcoholism, (something like) 2 - 4 micrograms per kg of body weight was needed.
in clinical settings, the starting dose was usually 25 micrograms, never normally rising above 200 micrograms once the 'right' dosage was found.

here is some good information on lsd use:

please note that i do not participate in, passively nor actively, not advocate any illegal activities. depo is a long acting drug designed to be slowly released in your body over 3 months. you have to wit for the effets to wear off. see more... hi,
thanks that does help tremendously! what you're dealing with is a "wait until ready" timeout condition. in other words test studio timed out waiting for the browser to say "i'm done downloading and rendering all the data for this website". there is a global setting for this which has a default value of just 30 seconds. it is the "client ready timeout" setting as shown in the [last figure on this page](http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/test-execution/quick-execution.aspx) for quick execution. an equivalent setting exists in [the test list settings](http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/test-execution/test-list-settings.aspx) when running your tests as part of a test list..  

  

if you don't want to set it globally (which can make sense to have the timeout much shorter for the remainder of your test) you'll have to resort to performing your navigate step in code... but it's pretty easy. try this:  

  


`int` `oldvalue = manager.settings.clientreadytimeout;`
`manager.settings.clientreadytimeout = 360000;`
`activebrowser.navigateto(``"my website here"``);`
`manager.settings.clientreadytimeout = oldvalue;`

is there an easy way to detect when new code is flashed to the device so i can reinitialize the retained variables?

below is a link to a post by [@rickkas7](/u/rickkas7) about storing retained data in a struct.

saving a know value to eeprom jumps to mind

there is … hi

we can do that by defining a string variable in the very beginning of the process with assign activity or by defining that in variable panel in the studio at the bottom the window

but make sure that we are not assigning any value to that variable later across the workflow

Simple devices such as blindfolds or hoods and earmuffs can cut off sight and hearing respectively, while more complex devices can also cut off the sense of smell, touch, taste, thermoception (heat-sense), and 'gravity'. Sensory deprivation has been used in various alternative medicines and in psychological experiments (e.g., see Isolation tank), and for torture or punishment.   

  

Though short periods of sensory deprivation can be relaxing, extended deprivation can result in extreme anxiety, hallucinations, bizarre thoughts, depression, and antisocial behavior.   

  

So the sense for which you wish to remove all stimuli dictates how your chamber should be built. so i have received a response from tasha, and there is a limit, but not on the number of projects you can create/remix. it’s a limit of the time interval.

this week, we put a restriction on the number of projects/collections/teams a new user can create within the first 48 hours of account creation… Your explanation is not consistent. You state that the user is to enter a range as in "find me all numbers between x and y that are divisible by both 3 and 4." Later you state that you "input value 120 10 times". That is inconsistent with the problem so either the problem is stated incorrectly or you are not inputting the expected data. Decide what is the correct problem then write it up in pseudo-code before you write the actual code.


If a range is expected, make sure you test that it is a valid range (x <= y).
