Load reverse correlation response data from a CSV file — load

Reads a trial-level response CSV and returns a data.table::data.table. The function validates that the required columns are present, but does not coerce column types or change column names.

Usage

load_responses(
  path,
  method = c("2ifc", "briefrc"),
  col_participant = "participant_id",
  col_stimulus = "stimulus",
  col_response = "response",
  col_rt = NULL
)

Arguments

path: Path to a CSV file.
method: Either "2ifc" or "briefrc". Currently informational only; downstream checks use this to select method-specific logic.
col_participant, col_stimulus, col_response: Column names that must exist in the file. Default to the package-wide canonical names.
col_rt: Optional column name for response time. If provided, must exist in the file.

Value

A data.table::data.table with all columns from the CSV.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
responses <- load_responses("my_data.csv", method = "2ifc")
} # }
