Input is enabled by the Stimulus object, and continues through the presentations of the second
stimulus and the mask (i.e., the Stimulus2, Mask, and ClearMask objects). While the Duration
field determines the duration of the Run method for the object, the Time Limit field sets the
amount of time allowed for input. The Stimulus object’s Run duration is set to 500msec. Thus,
the Stimulus object will run for 500msec before processing moves on to the Stimulus2 object.
The Time Limit setting of 3000msec allows up to 3 seconds for a response (i.e., to continue
collecting input through the entire trial presentation).
