Below you will find many of the tools that researchers have used at the Sackler Institute to aid them in their various projects. This includes applications, programs and sets of stimuli developed by Sackler researchers, as well as links to tools from other organizations. They are free to be used by others for their own research.

NimStim Emotional Face Stimuli |
|||
|
NimStim is a set of over 600 face images that are available for the scientific community. There are 16 expressions posed by over 45 professional actors of varying ethnicities. Images are in color bitmap format. The site also contains information regarding validity of each expression.

Attention Network Tests (ANT) |
|||
|
The ANT is a task designed to test alerting, orienting, and executive control networks. Dr. Jin Fan's web page has instructions about how to use the program. During the last several years at the Sackler Institute we have been trying to link imaging data on attention networks to individual performance and underlying genes.

Wack-A-Mole |
|||
| Wack-A-Mole is a Go/NoGo cognitive control task. In this version you have to the spacebar for the "Go" stimuli. |

|
The is a parametric go/no-go task with Pokemon stimuli by Sarah Durston. See:

MRI SNR Analysis Tool |
|||
|
This is a MATLAB script to algorithmically calculate signal-to-noise ratios on sets of MRI images. The hope was that this method would be less sensitive to variability resulting from placement of ROIs by hand onto the images and would prove useful for comparing SNR across different sets of images and possibly across different sites. Look in the script for usage directions.

TopoViewer |
|||
|
This tool enables experimenters to have multiple views of topographical EEG data, as well as various combinations of the data and their differences. The application is able to read NetStation raw EEG data directly from the NetStation exporter and raw NeuroScan data. The application provides a three by three topomap display with difference waves generated on demand. It is also capable of exporting the display to MPEG movies.

Head Tracker Application |
|||
|
This program requires a Polhemus ISO Track II device. The Tracker program features a dual display of both a DVD application movie and the tracker data display. The data display also offers three views: real-time raw data, data graphed over time, and a final display which monitors head drift. The Tracker is extremely precise, able to detect movement within a tenth of a millimeter at a temporal resolution of 60 Hz.
