I would like to know if it is possible to have ISI that could vary in time during the experiment. I thought I could have fixation points between each stimuli and that these points could have aleatory durations (between 50 and 1000 ms) but I really don't know how to do this with E Prime. If any have suggestions???

Thanks a lot

You can do this by varying the Duration property with a [attrib] reference.

1) Create columns in your List, i.e. Duration1, Duration2 and enter the values you wish
2) In the Fixations, enter [Duration1], [Duration2], etc.

The [attrib] syntax looks up the value in the Context at runtime and uses it.

Thanks for your very quick response. I understood how to do this and I can conclude from what you wrote that E prime cannot generate an aleatory sequence of numbers between 100 and 1000 ms and that I have to generate it by myself and then import it in EPrime Attributes ???

Set the levels to the number of trials you want or set one level with a weight you wish.

Then in an InLine in your trial procedure, place the following code.

c.SetAttrib "Duration", Random(100, 1000)
