Sleep Manipulation And Communication Clickything

A clickable interface for running sleep-related experiments.

  • Trigger audio cues
  • Collect dream reports
  • Trigger EEG portcodes
  • Save a detailed event log
  • and more!

Installation

To install SMACC, go to the releases page, click the Assets dropdown for the latest release, and download the SMACC.exe file. Once downloaded, double-clicking this file will run SMACC.

Note that for some features, you will need to open SMACC with Administrator privileges (Right-click to open and select Run as administrator).

Optional setup

  • If you don't want to use the default ~/smacc_data folder, you can change this by setting a new environment variable called SMACC_DATA_DIRECTORY equal to whatever directory you want to use. SMACC will create it and all the subfolders (if not already present).

  • Place any sound files in the ~/smacc_data/cues folder (must be .wav files!).

  • There is a Record Dream Report button that will start to record from whatever external recording device is selected from the SMACC menubar. There is also an option to have it pop open a website URL. I use this to open up a dream report survey I have set up on Qualtrics. If you want it to open something, update the SURVEY_URL variable in config.py. If planning to record dreams, choose sound device for recording audio from the menubar (Audio > Input device > [choose device]).
