You can use Experiment Builder to create and run behavioral experiments that do not require an EyeLink eye tracker.
Creating a New Non-Eye-Tracking Project
When you create a new project, simply uncheck the "EyeLink Experiment" box in the new project dialog. This option is checked by default.
Converting an Existing Project
To convert an existing eye-tracking project into a non-eye-tracking one:
The "Stroop" project included with Experiment Builder (File -> Examples -> Stroop) is a good example of a non-eye-tracking experiment.
⚠️ Warning: When you disable this feature, all eye-tracking-specific nodes (e.g., EL_CAMERA_SETUP, Fixation Triggers) will be permanently deleted from your project.
Saving Your Data
Without an eye tracker, your project will not create an EDF data file. You must manually add a node to save your behavioral data.
