Hello,

To test the CursorTask application I've been using the SignalGenerator to create a 10Hz signal at 100uV. I've setup the Classifier such that Ch1 at 10Hz will make the cursor move to the left (assign a negative weight to it). However, the cursor seems to move to the left if I set the RenderingQuality to 'low', if it is set to high, the cursor moves to the right. Does anyone know why this happens?

Thanks

Hi,

I cannot notice any difference between cursor movement in "high" vs. "low" quality rendering.
When I start BCI2000 with the CursorTask_SignalGenerator batch file, load "CursorTask_SignalGenerator.prm", then set "Filtering->Adaptation" to "0 0 0", and then click "Set Config" and "Start", the cursor will follow mouse movement with some delay, as expected. Changing "Application->RenderingQuality" to "low", and running again, the cursor will still follow mouse movement.

You will need to switch off adaptation, otherwise you will get a random direction of movement. Having the same amplitude in all target conditions will result in a baseline estimate that is basically identical to the constant amplitude, but may be slightly off due to small variances in amplitude that are related to how much of a full cycle is missing from the ARFilter's sliding data window. Variance adaptation will then enlarge those baseline fluctuations such that the cursor will move visibly, but in random direction.
