Adjusting Minimum Time Between Auditory Rewards
By default, EEGer is set to provide reward beeps every .5 seconds when in a state of maximum reward. This means that remaining in a rewardable state for 10 consecutive seconds will produce 20 total reward beeps.
By adjusting the minimum time between rewards, a user can cause the auditory feedback to occur more regularly or less regularly. The minimum time between rewards can be adjusted by following these instructions:
- Navigate to Options>EEGer Configuration Options from the top toolbar of EEGer's main screen.
- Locate the Preferences tab at the top of the options menu.
- Locate Option 4 Default Minimum seconds between rewards - by default, this should be set to a value of .5 seconds.
- By increasing this value, auditory rewards will be 'slower'. Decreasing this value will cause auditory rewards to be 'faster'.
- Once this value is adjusted to the desired interval, click Close preferences window at the bottom of the options menu to return to EEGer's main screen.
