| Teaching | ERTS comes with many sample scripts for classic cognitive paradigms. Authoring your own experiment does not require expert programming skills. Either adapt existing scripts or create new paradigms based on the intuitive ERTS scripting language. If you are interested in ready-to-use experiments for teaching purposes only, ERTSLab is our solution for you. |
| Research | ERTS is not only a teaching toy. High accuracy, ASCII raw-data output, individual session coding, command line batch mode, optional external response pads, pseudo-tachistoscopic image switching, and many more features make ERTS a reliable research tool. |
| Clinical Trials | ERTS has proven as a validated platform for performing psychometric testing in clinicial trials. Classic cognitive test paradigms can easily be adapted to study objectives and schedule. Key functions of ERTS are designed to be compliant to EC-GCP (European rules for good clinical practice). |
| EEG, MEG, PED, fMRI | With the ERP-version of ERTS you can send TTL-like signals via parallel port to mark stimulus onsets and responses. These signals can be used to synchronize any cognitive tasks with physiological data recordings. ERTS also supports the integration of external TTL-signals (e.g. ready-to-scan from MRI) for synchronizing trials to sync stimulus presentation with external events or units of MRI scans. |
| Space and Aviation | Going to Mars tomorrow? Well, even if not, the pursuit and compensatory tracking tasks built into ERTS might make sense even in "on-ground" experiments. Based on those tracking tasks, an international cognitive test battery of the AGARD-group (Advisory Group of Aerospace Research & Development) has been implemented in form of ERTS-scripts and been used in three MIR-space missions to investigate cognitive and motoric performance in microgravity. |
