Answered: Walter Roberson on 10 Jan 2022

I am designing an experiment (moving mouse pointer between two targets) where I want to record the mouse pointer locations for a specific period of time. I went through several callback functions using windowmotionbuttonfuction and get(gcf, "CurrentPosition"). But, as I read in several threads, we cannot save data in workspace using callback functions. Is there an alternative approach to record mouse pointer loactions? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
