Images with delay don't appear - MKMurphy - 07-11-2026

Dear FindingFive Team, 
I've set up a central coherence task which has 16 different image stimuli, all in png format. In addition to these stimuli I also have a fixation cross, however the fixation cross I made with FindingFive coding. Unfortunately when I pilot the study only the fixation cross appears on the screen, not the images. 
It could be that this issue is stemming from the delay function I have set-up within the stimuli themselves. There are 16 stimuli but each has 5 different versions (5 different delays) as I wanted to create a 'jitter' between stimulus presentations. To create this jitter I followed options 1 and 2 outlined by Noah on a previous thread (https://discuss.findingfive.com/showthread.php?tid=844&highlight=delay) but I can't identify what I've done wrong.
Could a member of your team look into this for me?
Cheers, 
Mary-Kate

Hi again Mary-Kate!
We'd be happy to look into it, but first you'll need to add [email protected] if you haven't already. And, in the meantime, some things that you can look into to see if you can diagnose the problem yourself:
  1. The barrier property on stimuli
  2. Delay and duration properties on stimuli
  3. Delay and duration properties on trial templates (especially if duration is timing the trials out early)
  4. Whether you have any background responses with duration properties that could be triggering the end of the trial early
Off the top of my head, those are the culprits I'd look to first.
We will be in touch soon!
