Choosing the stages in which to process an event

In brief

You should use the list of stages on the event's settings page to select those stages in which you want the event to be processed. If you un-check a stage, then the event will be entirely ignored in all trials in that stage; it'll be like the event simply doesn't exist.

Details

In general, you will probably want ANY-maze to process an event in all the stages of an experiment - indeed, this is the default setting used by the system. However, there may be experiments in which the event is not required all the time.

For example, you might wish to shock the animal in some situation during a Training stage, but not during a Retention stage.
