Hi Chris,

I need your help.  
I modified the RSVP paradigm to have the fixation and images jump around.  
However, for unknown reason, the monkey is rewarded even if he is looking outside of the fixation window.  
Can you please take a look and see if you can understand why this happens?

Thanks,

Shay

Hey Shay,

I think I see the problem: Your first state (“New random Location”) transitions directly to “Acquire Fixation”, when presumably it should go to “Reset Trial Variables”. The latter state is where you reset the “success” variable for each trial.

Yes. That was the problem. Thank you!
