Coordination of task triggers to the RNS System iEEG (ECoG). (A) Example of RNS System iEEG recording during the Face-Profession Task. Trigger markers are seen as sudden signal dropouts (“telemetry artifacts”) in the recording and were delivered at the stimulus onset. As the RNS System records a maximum of 4 minutes of iEEG data at a time, each experimental block (either encoding or retrieval) was designed to be less than 4 minutes long. Triggers were sent via the programmer accessory (PA) to the wand accessory (WA), to mark the real-time ECoG with each stimulus onset. At the end of each experimental block, the task software commanded the PA to pause, store, and restart recording. This design allowed for continuous behavioral testing, task-locked ECoG recording, and avoidance of iEEG data loss.

Bottom 2 channels are recording from the middle temporal gyrus. Faces in Panel A are reused from the Chicago Face Database (CFD) under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 open access license15.
