Miscellaneous

The configuration file should contain a list where each element is formatted like this :

Name_of_the_key Stimulation_numeric_identifier

For a complete listing of the key names, please consult GDK's "gdk/gdkkeysyms.h" header file. The names are the same but without the leading "GDK_"

If TCP Tagging hostname is specified, the stimulator will send the stimuli to Acquisition Server in that address for accurate alignment of the stimuli to the EEG signal. If the keypresses are not wanted to be inserted into the signal, set host address to an empty string. To send to an Acquisition Server running on the same computer, use 'localhost' as the address.
