Experiment Class

To Define custom behavior experiment, you need to create a new script and have it inherit from the Experimentclass.

Automatically generating Experiment Scripts

To define the behavior that occurs during a trial, you need to create a script that inherits from the Experiment type". The toolkit can automatically generate an Experiment script for you using a template from the "Script Helper Tool" located in the main "BML" menu.

Manually creating a Experiment Scripts

You can also create this script manually.

Similar to manually creating Blocks and Trials you’ll need to import the appropriate namespace and implement missing members

using BML_ExperimentToolkit.Scripts.ExperimentParts

public class MyExperiment : Experiment {  }  

As a rule of thumb, it’s a good idea to follow the following structure:

1. PreMethod()

   • Initialize your experiment (calibration, etc.)

2. PreCoroutine()

   • Show instructions, welcome screen.
   • Wait for user to do something before Experiment starts.
   • Remember to yield return. (see coroutine section in this guide)

3. MainCoroutine()

   • No customization allowed (runs Blocks automatically)

4. PostCoroutine()

   • Wait for user to do something after Experiment.
   • Thank you screen
   • Remember to yield return. (see coroutine section in this guide)

5. PostMethod()

   • Finalize your experiment (confirm calibration still valid, etc.)
