Abstract:
1. A method of using a calibration system to generate a latency estimate for calibrating a stimulus-response test system, wherein the method comprises: [a] providing a calibration system comprising a stimulus sensor, a response actuator device, and a first set of one or more processors; [b] providing a stimulus-response test system comprising a stimulus output device for delivering stimuli to a subject, a response input device for receiving responses to the stimuli, a second set of one or more processors, and a response input interface for interfacing between the response input device and the second set of processors; [c] sensing, using the stimulus sensor, a stimulus output event, the stimulus output event being indicative of delivery of stimulus by the stimulus output device to a subject; [d] recording, using one or more of the first and second set of processors, a stimulus time associated with sensing the stimulus output event; [e] generating, by one or more of the first and second set of processors, a calibrator response after sensing the stimulus output event, wherein generating the calibrator response comprises: [f] recording, using one or more of the first and second set of processors, a response time associated with generating the calibrator response; [g] determining, using one or more of the first and second set of processors, a calibrator delay (t [h] receiving a test system delay (t [i] determining, using one or more of the first and second set of processors, a latency value (t
