A fast and easy-to-use plugin to generate a BrainVoyager stimulation protocol file (*.prt) from a Presentation Log file (*.log) in one minute; also options to manipulate the stimulation protocol are available.

protocolgenerator_mainmenu

The Picture or Sound events are grouped into conditions with intervals. The stimulation protocol will be saved in millisecond resolution in the same directory as the original *.log file. Use the `Volumes' checkbox and the function `Save .PRT' in the Stimulation Protocol Dialog in BrainVoyager to save in volumes resolution.

Requirements:

a) Picture names: please note that the plugin fully automatically generates the conditions, based on the Picture names. If occurrences of conditions need to end up in one condition, they have to have the same name (so not different numbers at the end of the name `Picture house1', `Picture house2', but all occurrences should be called `Picture house', etc); in case the naming of each occurrence is slightly different, please modify the Picture names in the *.log file before running Option 1 in the plugin, or use tool Pro Log by Job van den Hurk
b) Picture names: The Picture name should not have spaces in the name ('imgnr 2' should be renamed to 'imgnr2')
c) Columns: Recognised columns for a *.log file are:
Trial, EventType, Code, Time, TTime, Uncertainty, Duration
or
Subject, Trial, EventType, Code, Time, TTime, Uncertainty, Duration
