| % parsesmi() - parse Sensomotoric Instruments (TM) eye tracking | |
| % data from an ASCII-converted text-file and save the content as a MATLAB | |
| % structure | |
| % | |
| % Usage: | |
| % >> et = parsesmi(inputFile, outputMatFile, triggerKeyword); | |
| % | |
| % Inputs: | |
| % inputFile - path to text file, converted from raw ET recording | |
| % outputMatFile - MATLAB (.mat) file to save "et" structure in | |
| % | |
| % Optional Inputs: | |
| % triggerKeyword - keyword contained in special messages used for | |
| % synchronization. Text messages can be used as an | |
| % alternative method for synchronization with the | |
| % EEG/MEG (instead of shared trigger pulses). However, | |
| % all messages used for synchronization must contain a | |
| % special keyword string (e.g. "MYKEYWORD") which is | |
| % followed by the respective integer number (e.g. "123") | |
| % which is also send as a trigger pulseto the parallel | |
| % electrophysiological recording. | |
| % | |
| % For more information on the optional input, please read the tutorial of | |
| % the toolbox. | |
| % | |
| % An example use of the function might look like this: | |
| % >> ET = parsesmi('/myrawdata/SAMPLES.txt','/myfiles/SAMPLES.mat') | |
| % Optional with keyword: | |
| % >> ET = parsesmi('/myrawdata/SAMPLES.txt','/myfiles/SAMPLES.mat','MYKEYWORD') | |
| % | |
| % Outputs: | |
| % et - eyetracker structure | |
