Hi Chris!

I am trying to have a task where the monkey can saccade to one of four circles. One of the options I can code up as a target, but I am wondering what to do if I wanted to also have the other options sensitive to whether the monkey saccades to it or not. Thanks!

Hi Mahdi,

You can use [fixation points](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/latest/components/circular_fixation_point_stimulus.html) for all four circles. You can feed them all the same eye position (via the [trigger\_watch\_x](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/latest/components/circular_fixation_point_stimulus.html#trigger-watch-x) and [trigger\_watch\_y](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/latest/components/circular_fixation_point_stimulus.html#trigger-watch-y) parameters), but each will need to use a distinct variable for [trigger\_flag](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/latest/components/circular_fixation_point_stimulus.html#trigger-flag), so that you can tell which circle the monkey is looking at. You can continue to use a single [eye monitor](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/latest/components/eye_monitor.html) to detect saccades.

Cheers,  
Chris
