Pylink Wrapper test experiment
N. DiQuattro - January 2015

This is a simple experiment where a circle appears randomly on the screen. It's
purpose is to provide examples of how to use the pylink wrapper with a psychopy
experiment.

There's help documentaiton available for each of the functions that show the
available parameters.
