Advanced Stimulus Presentation and
Real-Time Experiment Control Software
INTRODUCTION
What is EventIDE?
EventIDE is a powerful stimulus presentation software designed for researchers in neuroscience, psychology, human–computer interaction, and behavioral sciences. It combines seamless multimodal biosignal hardware synchronization, ultra-fast real-time data acquisition and processing, and sub-millisecond timing precision to ensure the highest level of experimental accuracy.
With its unmatched range of supported hardware — including eye trackers, EEG/EMG/ECG/fNIRS amplifiers, motion capture systems, VR devices, and more — EventIDE provides unparalleled flexibility for building complex, multimodal experiments. From classical psychophysics paradigms to next-generation adaptive closed-loop research, EventIDE enables precise stimulus delivery, synchronized data collection, and real-time experiment control across virtually any setup.
Trusted worldwide, EventIDE is the all-in-one platform for researchers who demand flexibility, precision, and performance in their experimental workflows.

Real-Time Analysis and Experiment Control
EventIDE is built for experiments that demand instantaneous responsiveness and adaptive control. Its real-time architecture ensures that signals are not only recorded but also processed and acted upon without delay.
Key real-time features include:
-
Live Data Monitoring: Visualize participant behavior, biosignals, and experimental events as they happen.
-
Real-Time Signal Processing: Apply online filtering, transformations, and statistical analyses during task execution.
-
Adaptive Experiment Control: Modify stimuli, task flow, or trial conditions dynamically in response to physiological or behavioral data.
-
Neurofeedback & Closed-Loop Research: Deliver feedback or trigger stimuli based on real-time signal characteristics.
-
Instant Data Access: Stream raw samples to scripts or external software for on-the-fly analysis.
-
Performance Without Compromise: Sub-millisecond response times ensure accuracy, even in complex multimodal setups.
With these real-time features, EventIDE empowers researchers to move beyond static experiment designs and implement truly interactive, adaptive, and closed-loop paradigms.
