When working with Windows 10 and sometimes Linux, which stimulation softwares/toolboxes would you recommend for fMRI studies? So far, I have used Psychtoolbox on Linux, but I am wondering if better (and simpler) tools have been developed, yet not sacrificing timing precision.
There was a thread a few years ago that discussed this topic
https://www.researchgate.net/post/Best_stimulus_delivery_software_for_fMRI_experiments1
I suppose the discussion might be a bit dated now, but the comments still seem pretty relevant to me.
Personally I use Psychtoolbox on a Mac and I have a number of stimuli, so there is inertia against changing, so I have not tried PsychoPy. But in the thread that I mentioned above a number of people recommended PsychoPy, and being both cross-platform and free from Matlab is appealing.
Regarding timing precision, a recent paper compares various packages across the different operating systems. https://peerj.com/articles/9414/
Good luck
