JILL is a system for auditory behavioral and neuroscience experiments. It consists of several independent modules that can present stimuli, detect vocalizations, and record data. Modules can be connected to send and receive sampled data (e.g., audio or neural waveforms) and event-time data (e.g. action potentials, stimulus onsets and offsets) in a low-latency, real-time framework. This modular design provides great flexibility in running closed- and open-loop experiments.

Installation

JILL should work on any system that can run JACK. Some compiling from source is required, so you will need a reasonably modern C/C++ compiler.
