advancedChoiceWorld: make reward amount dependent on stimulus side #652

Closed samupicard closed 2 months ago

samupicard commented 2 months ago

Would it be possible to change _iblrig_tasks_advancedChoiceWorld such that reward amounts are parametrized for each side rather than being the same across all correct trials?

At the moment, the task_parameters list REWARD_AMOUNT_UL as a single parameter. In _base_choiceworld.py the method to set the reward amount is defined in the class ChoiceWorldSession

def reward_amount(self):
        return self.task_params.REWARD_AMOUNT_UL

which simply calls the parameter and is not conditional on anything else. Is this something that we could overload somehow, so it calls one of two different amounts depending on the current trial?

So we decided to go for a parametrisation for each contingency (combination of contrast and position)

Implementation is part of 8.19.0 release 59474f0131b799a24bdd4f46d517f489a338101c iblrig/iblrig_tasks/_iblrig_tasks_advancedChoiceWorld/task_parameters.yaml
