Sensory Probe 2 Parameter Set

This is an example of a parameter set of task type 8, or sensory probe 2. The parameter which is varied randomly is led2sel, and each value of it is weighted according to the weights provided with led2wts. In connection with this, the parameters spk2sel and led1dur are also specified as series of values, one to correspond to each of the values specified for led2sel. So, for example, whenever the 1st value of led2sel is used in a trial, the 1st value of spk2sel and the first value of led1dur will be used. The same goes for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. values of these 3 parameters.

Note that all text to the right of a semicolon is a comment, and is ignored by the COM program.
