""" ============================================================ Define target events based on time lag, plot evoked response ============================================================ This script shows how to define higher order events based on time lag between reference and target events. For illustration, we will put face stimuli presented into two classes, that is 1) followed by an early button press (within 590 milliseconds) and followed by a late button press (later than 590 milliseconds). Finally, we will visualize the evoked responses to both 'quickly-processed' and 'slowly-processed' face stimuli.
