MacVision 1.0 from T-Cube Enterprises What is MacVision? MacVision is an easy-to-use software program that can be used to simulate Braddick and Kolers experiments. You can adjust a variety of parameters including-size, shape, color of feature elements. This helps creating a variety of picture frames ( stimuli ) that could be used for conducting different kinds of experiments. MacVision uses pull-down menu interface. This menu includes the following items: Chars Two - Frame Timing Chars: Pull down menu bar. It has 8 items. You can set the following parameters: Count: number of feature elements ( 1 - 10 ) Shape: circle, rectangle, triangle, trapezoid and left ramp Size: diameter of the feature elements (10,12,14,16,18,20 pixels) Color: yellow, black, white, blue, green, pink, Background: white, gray, black Apart from setting the above parameters: Save Pict: helps you save the stimulus you created Load Pict: helps you load the desired stimulus, previously created using MacVision Quit: helps you quit from MacVision 1.0 Two-Frame: Pull down menu bar. It has 5 items. Create First : create the first frame for the stimulus. Duplicate First: let MacVision create the second frame for the stimulus. It duplicates the first frame, given the spatial separation between corresponding feature elements of the two frames. Create: View Second: If you used "Duplicate First" to create the second frame, you may view the second frame by selecting this item. Or, alternatively, you may create a customized second frame Second Frame Option: helps you determine whether the second frame should be super-imposed on, or spatially distant from, the first frame. Go : Select this after you have set all the required parameters and created the stimulus. Watch the stimulus play. Timing: Pull down menu bar. It has 3 items. You can set the following parameters : ISI: Interstimulus Interval : helps you set the interstimulus interval ( 16 7 - 500 msec ) ON-TIME: Presentation Duration : helps you set the presentation duration for the stimulus ( 16.7 - 500 msec ) Recent Values: helps you view the current values of ISI and ON-TIME System Requirements Mac Plus, SE, II series 1 MB of RAM 1 MB of hard disk space Source code written using THINK C version 4.0 Price: $29.99 includes source code, user manual, no royalties T-Cube Enterprises, 37 Lyman St, Suite 2, Waltham, MA 02154 617-899-8657 +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | From the America Online New Product Information Services | +===============================================================+ | This information was processed with OmniPage Professional OCR | | software (from Caere Corp) & a Canon IX-30 scanner from data | | provided by the above mentioned company.
