Integration of the VNT with existing tools.

The modular nature of the VNT makes it easy to integrate its components with other existing tools. Here we showcase, how the implemented triangle completion task makes use of the powerful session management and data logging features of the Unity Experiment Framework (UXF) while providing the main features required for the task in question. Specifically, the UXF provides us with the basic framework of triggering a chain of trials within experimental sessions, but does not define what happens within a single trial, which is then accomplished by a combination of VNT modules, coordinated by the VNT trial state machine (“trial management”), which in turn passes the collected data of the current trial back to the UXF for saving.
