Running An Experiment
Welcome to the running an experiment tutorial! From My Neurorobotics Lab, you can either create a new experiment or launch an existing experiment. After going through the workflow previously discussed in “creating an experiment” or simply pressing play, you will be led to a loading screen. Once the Brain Visualizer loads, you will be presented with the Quick Start tutorial that gives you a general overview of where to start in NRS.
Launching An Experiment
Welcome to the running an experiment tutorial! From My Neurorobotics Lab, you can either create a new experiment or launch an existing experiment. After going through the workflow previously discussed in “creating an experiment” or simply pressing play, you will be led to a loading screen. Once the Brain Visualizer loads, you will be presented with the Quick Start tutorial that gives you a general overview of where to start in NRS.
Webcam
You can use your computer webcam as a source of visual cues to control robots. To open the webcam, press “embodiment” in the top left of the page -Then click on the button in the auxiliary input and output section to toggle the webcam on A text should pop-up, requesting you permission to access the camera Click allow resulting in a live feed of your camera popping up. In this case, the camera is connected to the vision cortical areas. Click the “X” in the upper right corner to close the webcam.
Screensharing
Screenshare is another method of generating visual stimuli based on what's on your desktop. To use this feature click the “embodiment” tab, but this time, click the screenshare button. A similar dialogue box will also pop up, requesting you to share your window or your entire screen. After clicking allow, you will notice that an icon in the upper right corner turns green to signify the screen capture is connected.
Sharing A Genome
To share your creation with the community, click the genome tab, and switch the public button to on. A pop-up screen will appear, asking your consensual agreement. After reading the agreement check the “I agree to the terms and conditions” box and click on “proceed.” To make your genome private, select the genome tab again and toggle the public button off.
Augmenting A Genome
To augment your genome with another genome Click on the import button in the same genome tab. To find a specific genome, you are able to click on the search bar to type in a request of your choice. You can also sort the genomes by recommended, most stars, or newest. You can filter the genomes by embodiments (manufacturers, capabilities, release date) or genomes (species, capabilities, age) When you find the genome you want to use, select choose. You are able to rename the title and change its coordinates. When you are ready to import your selected genome, click import. Your brain visualizer will refresh to include the latest addition.
