Figure Lengend Snippet: Overview of equipment and respective connections. The basic setup (in green arrows) only requires a stimulus presentation PC to run E-Prime Ⓡ and record behavioral variables, including step-level accuracy and response times of participants. The bottom-right side of the diagram shows that Movella Xsens motion capture sensors that can be configured with up to 20 sensors in a full suit for recording biomechanical kinematics such as limb segment, sensor vector displacement, velocity, and acceleration. The sensors communicate through Wi-Fi with the MTw Awinda base station, which connects to the MVN Analyze recording software via a USB-A cable. Importantly, E-Prime Ⓡ sends event markers through line code via a Wi-Fi to MVN Analyze for indexing different movement moments (e.g. each step). In the top left and center of the diagram, EEG can be connected to the setup for neuroimaging. Lab streaming layer is required in our setup for E-Prime Ⓡ to send event markers to the ANT Neuro mylab EEG recording software. In this way, all stimuli and response events are synchronized and recorded in EEG and motion capture data.
Article Snippet: Xsens data was extracted using the MVN Analyze software package, utilizing its built-in export function to obtain displacement, velocity, and acceleration variables.
