Psychology Software Tools, Inc. has engineered the Celeritas Optical Response System to accurately gather participant responses and verify signals – eliminating the chance of data loss. The new system can be customized to fit your research needs by selecting the combination of Button Response Units (BRU), Joysticks, and Foot Pedals. The BRU’s and Joysticks comfortably fit all hand sizes and are constructed of entirely non-metallic components. The units communicate button presses through fiber optic cabling which connects to an interface console located in the control room through an available waveguide. The Interface Console provides real-time feedback of participant responses via LED indicators and includes a set of buttons that make responses for the participant as needed. The system seamlessly integrates with E-Prime or any other stimulus presentation software through a USB connection. The Interface Console comes with an optical connector and a BNC connector. These connectors allow the computer to accept either an optical or TTL pulse that the stimulus presentation interprets as a “=” button press, allowing the user to synchronize their experiments with the MRI
