phase-experiment

The experiment phase covers paradigm design, recording setup, and instrument configuration — everything needed before data collection begins.

Approach

• Identify which sub-task applies (paradigm design, recording setup, instrument config) and handle one at a time
• Read .neuroflow/ideation/ for the research question and hypothesis before designing anything
• Confirm modality (EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking, ECG, etc.) early; it constrains all downstream decisions
• Write a brief design rationale — not just the implementation

Relevant skills

• neuroflow:neuroflow-core — read first; defines the command lifecycle and .neuroflow/ write rules
• neuroflow:pupil-labs-neon-realtime — load when Pupil Labs Neon eye tracker is part of the recording setup

Workflow hints

• PsychoPy scripts and config files go to output_path (paradigm/), not inside .neuroflow/
• Save experiment-plan.md to .neuroflow/experiment/ covering design choices and recording parameters
• Log any paradigm design decision that deviates from the pre-registered plan in .neuroflow/reasoning/experiment.json
