Figure Lengend Snippet: Visiomode: a flexible, scalable platform for building touchscreen-based tasks. Left, Image of the mouse behavioral arena with interactive touchscreen controlled by Visiomode. Right, Schematic showing that Visiomode is a web-based interface that controls, via WiFi, a Raspberry Pi computer and any coupled USB devices (e.g. loudspeaker, USB microcontroller for reward delivery, touchscreen). Visual stimuli can be generated programmatically via Visiomode's API or loaded as images / animation files on-the-fly and presented via any touchscreen supported by Raspberry Pi, including integrated touchscreen displays such as the Pimoroni Hyperpixel. Visiomode also supports real-time analysis with data being exported in a variety of formats, including JSON, HDF5 and NWB.
