			=== E-PRIME CONNECTIVITY ===
			#If the E-prime program is not opening the correct device, open the ES file of your program in E-studio to check device connectivity. To do so, double-click on the Experiment object at the top of the Structure window and navigate to the Devices tab. Then double click on 'Serial' to change the address of the port to match your available serial port. The USB port (SRBox) is set to COM3, so make sure the serial port matches (you can also verify the port number that your SRBox is using via the Windows Device Manager).

			In the "Advanced" tab of the fMRI (BOLD EPI) there is a "Start Scan Trigger" parameter. The value can be either 0 or 1. If the value is 0 the scanner will start scanning when the "Scan" button is clicked. If the value is 1 the scanner will start scanning when the "Scan" button is clicked only if an external trigger is received from your stimulus.

There are two voice volume controls on the GE keyboard. The right hand volume control controls the volume of sound coming from the scanner room. In order to better hear anything your participant has to say, turn up the volume while communicating with the participant. After you start to scan you should turn the volume down to minimize the volume of the scanner.

			To restart the scanner first locate the "Tools" icon at the upper left hand corner top of the screen. It is in the trio of icons along with the Patient entry and Viewer icons. The "Tools" icon has a drop down menu. "System restart" is one of the entries on the drop down menu list. Click on "system restart" and the system will reboot itself in the next 5-10 minutes. The process will automatically type in the password. In the process of boot-up, a window will appear indicating not to interact with the system until this particular window has disappeared from view. When that occurs the system is ready to use.

			The length of EPI fMRI sequences can be adjusted in the second "Multiphase" tab in the sequence parameter window area. The parameter in this tab "Phases per location" (number of frames) will change the length of the sequence. Type in a number, hit the return button and the time duration of the sequence will be updated. The maximum value is 512. With this value the sequence will run about 17 minutes.
