stimulusgeneration
Stimulus generation refers to the process of creating controlled sensory input for experiments in psychology, neuroscience, and related fields. The goal is to present stimuli that elicit measurable responses while allowing precise manipulation of salient properties such as modality, intensity, duration, and timing. Stimulus generation is foundational to psychophysics, sensory neuroscience, and cognitive research, enabling researchers to link perception and behavior to specific stimulus features.
Practices and tools involve software and hardware that synchronize stimulus presentation with data collection. Common software
Considerations during design include defining stimulus properties with clear units and calibration. For visuals, parameters such
Challenges include adaptation and fatigue effects, equipment-induced artifacts, and cross-modal interactions. Ethical and safety considerations address
