The base kit comes complete with two opto-detectors that can be affixed to either CRT or TFT screens in order to detect image event onset, duration and offset. Two Active Switch Closure leads are also provided. These can be tacked on to your response device primary button/key and used to simulate responses. An example paradigm that could be tested using this set-up would be a choice reaction time paradigm that used visual stimuli.

For custom leads or advice on a specific application, please contact us. For MRI applications, we have a range of external modules that operate with fibre-optic interfaces for use in the scanner room. For training and consultancy services please read the Consultancy and FAQ pages for more details.

Black Box Toolkit Response Pad
The four button BBTK Response Pad enables you to use the kit to record both presentation and response timing independent of your experiment. In addition experiment generators that can use the printer port can utilize the BBTK response pad or BBTK microphones to register response.

Click to enlarge:  Optional in-line TTL signal invertor

In-line TTL invertor
The invertor is used to invert TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) signals sent to the toolkit from your own equipment. It can also invert TTL signals from the toolkit to your own equipment. Typically, this is used where you are unable to invert signals from your own equipment. Signals may need to be inverted to trigger the toolkit.
