Subject: Re: Tachistoscope emulation software for Windows?
Newsgroups: sci.psychology.research
I'm afraid I don't know of any specific software packages designed to
emulate tachistoscope operation. However, you may not a software
package this specific. What I'm thinking of is using a video editing
package on a PC that allows you to do frame-by-frame editing, and
control the frame rate in the exported video. If, for instance, you
wanted to create a sequence where an image is presented for 1/10sec,
you would create a video with a frame rate of 30fps, and insert three
frames with your image.
Now, as to the price for a program with these capabilities, I'm not
sure. I know that iMovie, which comes standard or any Mac shipped over
the last year or two, will let you do frame-by-frame editing - BUT the
interface is not designed to make such frame-by-frame editing easy or
intuitive. I know you were asking about MS Windows software, but you
would be able to export a video you mastered on a Mac to a DVD or
simple .mov quicktime file, both of which would be viewable on a PC. A
significantly heftier package for Mac is Final Cut. It is available in
http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/
I do not know if you'll get frame-by-frame editing in the Express
package. Perhaps a question for a mac-user newsgroup. You'll notice
that both packages are damn expensive for a research budget, but if
you're affiliated with an educational institution, you should be able
to obtain a significant discount - so check the educational section of
the Apple Store online.

As above, I don't know if the lower-end package will offer
frame-by-frame... BUT you can download a demo to find out. Also, check
with your campus computer store (if you have one) to find out what
sort of educational discount you'll have available.
Hope this helps, best of luck to you.

Hello,
I am trying to find tachistoscope emulation software for Windows OS,
something that can flash an image for a specified period of time,
notably a fraction of a second. There are some freeware image
programs available out there where the user can create a 'slideshow'
which will sequentially display selected images, but the display time
can usually only be specified in units of seconds, not fractions of a
second.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions or know if something like this is
available? Thank you.

both a watered-down Express package:

For PC, there are two products that are likely comparable:

a joke. For example, one company,
instead of having each of its employees assemble only one section of a
catalogue, had each assemble a whole catalogue, and this was supposed
to give them a sense of purpose and achievement. Some companies have
tried to give their employees more autonomy in their work, but for
practical reasons this usually can be done only to a very limited
extent, and in any case employees are never given autonomy as to
ultimate goals -- their "autonomous" efforts can never be directed
toward goals that they select personally, but only toward their
employer's goals, such as the survival and growth of the company. Any
company would soon go out of business if it permitted its employees to
act otherwise. Similarly, in any enterprise within a socialist system,
workers must direct their efforts toward the goals of the enterprise,
otherwise the enterprise will not serve its purpose as part of the
system. Once again, for purely technical reasons it is not possible
for most individuals or small groups to have much autonomy in
industrial society.
