This study introduces FTAP, a free, flexible data collection system for music and tapping experiments. FTAP offers precise timing for auditory feedback manipulation and various experimental designs using standard hardware.

Area of Science:

Cognitive Science
Auditory Perception
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Traditional data collection for tapping and music experiments often requires custom hardware and software.
Implementing complex auditory feedback manipulations can be challenging with existing systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe FTAP, a novel, flexible data collection system for precise timing in tapping and music experiments.
To enable researchers to easily configure and run diverse experimental paradigms with auditory feedback manipulation.

Main Methods:

FTAP utilizes standard PC hardware and the Linux operating system.
It processes keystroke inputs and auditory outputs with millisecond resolution.
Standard MIDI devices are employed for both input and output.

Main Results:

FTAP supports a wide range of experimental tasks, including synchronization, continuation, and delayed auditory feedback.
The system allows for complex alterations of auditory feedback in music performance.
Experiments can be specified using a simple ASCII text parameter file, replacing custom systems.

Conclusions:

FTAP provides a cost-effective and flexible solution for auditory feedback research.
The system simplifies the implementation of sophisticated experimental designs in psychology and music cognition.
FTAP is freely available in source-code form, promoting accessibility for researchers.
