Appendix 2 of the behaviour paper defines the inter-trial interval (ITI) as the period of grey screen between stim off and the start of the quiescent period of the next trial. This is also known as the closed-loop grey screen period as there is no stimulus and no external stimuli affect the state (i.e. wheel ignored).
The ITI is specified as 0.5 seconds and the QC check asserts this, however the ITI in iblrigv8 is in fact 1.5 seconds. 1 second of grey screen within the state machine, and 0.5 seconds of 'dead time' between state machine exit and the next trial.
