Stim Files

Definitions of clock cycles. This ensures the tester operates at the same speed as the chip.

Stim files offer a way to define experimental stimuli. Their plain‑text, tabular nature aligns well with open science practices, version control, and cross‑tool portability. While not suitable for every real‑time adaptive design, they remain the gold standard for factorial and block‑design psychophysics . Researchers are advised to adopt a clear column convention, pre‑validate their stim files, and always keep them under version control alongside analysis scripts. stim files
