SV1 Voice Key & OpenSesame

General Discussions
1

Hi everyone,

I’m working on an experiment using OpenSesame and I’m considering using a Cedrus SV1 voicekey for response collection. The Cedrus SV1 comes with a Python library designed to communicate with XID devices like the SV1, StimTracker and more. According to the library documentation, it supports functions such as poll_for_response(), get_next_response(), and several methods for sending TTL pulses and resetting timers.

OpenSesame supports adding Python code via inline scripts, which I think could allow for integration of the Cedrus SV1.

My question is: Has anyone successfully used a Cedrus SV1 voicekey with OpenSesame? If so, what was your experience with integrating the device, particularly with response collection and sending TTL pulses?

Any advice or examples of how you set this up would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

If you do not already have SV-1, please note that it has been discontinued. Please see this blog post for alternative options.

I don’t know about OpenSesame, but we have researchers using the pyxid2 library successfully with PsychoPy and Riponda (which has built-in voice key).
