Abstract
A color video monitor equipped with a touch-sensing system, which is being used as a versatile stimulus presentation and response input device for experiments with nonhuman primate subjects, is described. A PDP-11/23 microcomputer system serves as an intelligent interface between the video monitor and a PDP-11/73 microcomputer system, which controls contingencies and stores data.
