Note that these batches are produced without entering any line of code by hand – it is all done using the graphical user interface of the Batch dialog. | ||

| + | The first two commands will load the paradigm file and perform the artifact scan: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <pre> | ||

| + | ArtifactScan(Wait) | ||
| + | </pre> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | The next command will average over the conditions: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <pre> | ||
| + | Average(%basename%_av, %Examples%\ERP-Auditory-Intensity\Averages\, NoDefaultName,OverwriteTarget, NoCorrect) | ||
| + | </pre> | ||
| + | |||

| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | The next commands will loop over the first 5 segments (condition averages) and export them to different ASCII files to be used in further processing in BESA Statistics or other programs: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <pre> | ||
| + | MAINFileOpen(%Examples%\ERP-Auditory-Intensity\Averages\%basename%_av.fsg) | ||
| + | GENFor(segm, 1, 5, 1, 1) | ||
| + | MAINMarkBlock(WholeSegment,-,%segm%) | ||
| + | MAINExport(%basename%-export%segm%, \, Segment, ASCvec, Original, FiltOff, NoResample, Replace, -, ) | ||
| + | GENEndFor() | ||

| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Of course, many more options are available – check it out! For example, segments can automatically be sent to Source Analysis to perform automated imaging and export these results for further analysis, too. | ||
