A microcomputer aided control system for visual tracking task of monkey.

Abstract:

:A microcomputer aided control system for visual tracking tasks is described. A video monitor displays positions of target and pointer. In a handle task, the horizontal position of a pointer is coupled to the angular position of a manipulandum. The task involves alignment and maintenance of a pointer on the target. In a bar press task, the pointer moves incrementally after each preset number of bar presses. A microcomputer and video monitor afford system flexibility, while a panel of manual switches permits the setting up of a variety of experimental conditions without extensive keyboard inputs and has the added advantage of constant display of task details. The program is written in assembly language to meet requirements for program control speed and allow timing measurement in msec. This system may be useful in the behavioral study of physiological and neurophysiological functions.
