General ¶

High performance and millisecond precision timing on standard PC hardware.
Integrated compiler and code editor for the user's code (with a choice of preferable programming languages: C++, C#, Visual Basic, etc.).
Visual description of experiment scenario.
User-friendly designers for experiment content.
Virtual file system integrated to each experiment for storing stimulus data (with auto-recognition of the most of graphic, audio and video formats).
Support of popular experimental hardware (joysticks, computer ports, network, multiple monitors, touchscreens, eye-trackers, response boxes, data acquisition and sound cards)

The most up-to-date graphical engine for visual rendering via DirectX with the support of visual layers, transparency, masks, pixel shaders, etc.
Ultra-fast generation of popular stimuli (gabors, gratings, random dots) via graphics hardware.
Multiple screen resolutions with the color depth from 8 to 10 bits (DeepColor) per channel on standard graphics hardware.
Static and programmable vector graphics engines for building and manipulating the scale-invariant visual stimuli.
Four audio playback engines, including the DirectSound and ASIO for most precise timing.
Multiple video playback options with statistics of timing accuracy for each frame.
Real-time speech synthesis and recognition.

Runtime control of the pre-designed content in user's code.
Explicit statistics of timing precision.
Programmable status window for a runtime monitoring of the experiment's progress, participant's behaviour and intermediate statistical results.
Embedded data collection mechanism with a number of exporting options and protection against failures.
Seamless integration of multiple positional inputs in experiments.
Real-time eye-tracking (EyeLink, SMI, Tobii, JazzNovo and a number of analog systems are supported) with calibration, logging and templates for many tracking paradigms.
