SuperLab provides support for the Lumina MRI-compatible response pads. The Lumina controller must be set "Lumina" mode. You can set the baud rate to any value but 115200 baud is recommended. Click on the Auto Detect button in the Options tab to have SuperLab search for a connected Lumina controller.
SuperLab automatically creates the five responses (four key plus trigger input) supported by Lumina. You can edit or delete them. A response can consist of a key press or a key release. If you need a response that consists of a key release, make sure that the Ignore the key release checkbox in the Options tab is turned off. It is a good idea to give the response a descriptive name, e.g. “target” or “same”.
The Lumina controller has a flexible Accessory Connector on the back that can be used for sending event markers or for interacting with external devices; see the Digital Output event type.
The following options are available:
Ignore the key release: If your experiment needs a response that consists of a key release, this option should be turned off. Otherwise it is a good idea to keep this option turned on.
Wait until the key is released: When this option is turned on, SuperLab will not advance to the next event or the next trial (depending on which sub-option is selected) until the participant has released the response pad key.
