Tracker is a stimulus control utility originally developed by Chris van der Togt for the Vision & Cognition laboratory of the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience. It can be used for psychophysical experimentation and training, with eye control using a Measurement and Computing IO card.
For the version of Tracker that has been altered by Chris Klink for use with NHP-MRI experiments see: https://github.com/VisionandCognition/Tracker-MRI
- Tracker is built on Matlab using its GUIDE user interface. It uses a MC Dascard for which the libraries are currently only compiled for 64-bit Windows OS.
- Tracker currently uses the Cognt graphics toolbox
- Switch to mlapp user interface now that GUIDE is being phased out
- Switch to psychtoolbox-3 graphics engine now that developed of cogent has been abandonned
- Compile dascard libraries for 64-bit Linux to allow a sswitch of the entire system towards more low-level control
Please acknowledge Chris van der Togt when using this utility for your published research.
