MedTouch Visual Response Screen for OmniCtrl™

MedTouch is a visual response component for behavioral experiments and training. Display images on the built-in monitor that relays to Med-PC which region(s) of the monitor are interacted with. Medstate Notation (MSN) commands control which images appear where, registers “touch-events” from the device, and determines the actions that occur as a result.

This setup enables the design of custom protocols to suit your research needs.
