Presentation (software)
Encyclopedia
Presentation is a Windows
software application
for conducting psychological and neurobehavioral experiments, developed by Neurobehavioral Systems Inc. and first released in 2003. It supports auditory and visual stimuli creation and delivery, records responses from nearly any input device and allows control of parallel port
, serial port
, TCP/IP and Ni-DAQ
for communication to and from fMRI devices, response devices, eye trackers
and brain imaging equipment. It is temporally accurate to less than a millisecond, a crucial aspect of control for many research needs. Presentation has over 10,000 users worldwide. Presentation supports Unicode
via the utf-8
specification.
