I need to record the last time the scroll wheel was moved for each trial. I have code that does this for key presses (the lastTrialTime
variable):
lastTime = 0 # setting up to get RT at last key press
while timer.getTime() >0: # while time isn't up (turns neg when time's up)
for key in event.getKeys():
if key in ['escape']:
core.quit() # quit if they press escape
if key in ['b']:
# add keypress to list for each keypress. then move cursor proportionally to length of this list
b_list.append(key)
prevPos+=len(b_list)
lastTime = clock.getTime()
if key in ['t']:
t_list.append(key)
prevPos-=len(t_list)
lastTime = clock.getTime()
lastTrialTime = lastTime
but I'm not sure how to do it for mouse responses. I use the following line of code to get how much the scroll wheel is moving on each refresh.
wheel_dX, wheel_dY = myMouse.getWheelRel()*4
However, I can't figure out how to use that (or something else?) to make a variable that contains a clock.getTime()
call for the last scroll wheel movement.
You can test whether the values are 0 or not:
wheel_dX, wheel_dY = myMouse.getWheelRel()*4
if any([wheel_dX, wheel_dY]):
lastTime = clock.getTime()
