1. Task Overview

This task runs one resting-state block with EC/EO conditions in sequence. Participants read/listen to instructions and do not provide trial responses during rest windows.

2. Task Flow

Block-Level Flow

• Load runtime settings, initialize triggers/window, and register stimuli.
• Run condition sequence (EC/EO) per block configuration.
• Save outputs and close runtime resources.

Trial-Level Flow

• block_instruction: condition-specific instruction display.
• rest_state: passive rest window for the configured duration.

Runtime Modes

• Human (default): python main.py
• QA: python main.py qa --config config/config_qa.yaml
• Scripted sim: python main.py sim --config config/config_scripted_sim.yaml
• Sampler sim: python main.py sim --config config/config_sampler_sim.yaml

3. Configuration Summary

• config/config.yaml: base human run profile
• config/config_qa.yaml: QA/dev profile (short smoke run)
• config/config_scripted_sim.yaml: scripted simulation profile
• config/config_sampler_sim.yaml: task-local sampler simulation profile

Outputs

• Human: outputs/human/
• QA: outputs/qa/
• Scripted sim: outputs/sim/
• Sampler sim: outputs/sim_sampler/

Task Notes

• Trigger schema uses structured triggers.map/driver/policy/timing.
• Trial context for responder plugins is set in src/run_trial.py via set_trial_context(...).
• Sampler implementation for this task is in responders/task_sampler.py.

Runtime Context Phases

Phase Label	Meaning
block_instruction	block instruction stage in src/run_trial.py responder context.
rest_state	rest state stage in src/run_trial.py responder context.

4. Methods (for academic publication)

This resting-state task presents alternating condition instructions (e.g., eyes-open/eyes-closed) followed by passive rest windows with no active response requirement. Trial context labels separate instruction and rest stages for consistent QA/simulation logging. Timing and trigger events are controlled to support auditable baseline acquisition workflows.
