    Inserting a blank screen

    [edited from support email]

    How do you create a blank screen between two picture stimuli?

    A blank screen can be inserted using a stim value of ~ (basically, a blank text stimulus) and a time value of the number of milliseconds you want the screen to remain blank. You could also make an image file controlling the color and size of the screen (along with another graphics you wanted) and display that. But for a good old fashioned blank interval, a blank text stimulus is the easiest way to go.

    Stim: ~
    Loc: 0,0,0
    Time: 1000 (or desired # of ms)
