[comp.sys.mac.misc] measuring reaction times with a Mac

ldg@amy.skidmore.edu (01/09/91)

I have posted the following in behalf of another faculty member at our
college.  You may respond directly to him, or if you send it to me, I'll
pass it along.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
    I'm looking to record reaction times from voice input through a 
microphone connected to the serial port on my SE.  The applications 
program that will recieve the input & record the RTs is Dan Costin's 
MacLab, ver 1.6 (DC software, Stanford, CA).  How can I set this up?  
I have a LaFayette voice-activated relay, model 18010, which runs 
through a board on my IBM PC- is there such a thing for the Mac?  It 
would probably be easy enough to set up a Hypercard program to 
simulate what MacLab does if need be, but it'd be nice to have 
something that would plug right in to MacLab (Mac Lab waits for a 
mouseup to start timing, then pops a picture, etc).  Can anyone advise 
me on this?

Thanks in advance,
