You would specifiy a /timeout in the <trial> elements: https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v5/html/language/attributes/timeout.htm <trial attributeA> ... /timeout = 5000 </trial>

Is there a way of haulting the test instead of going forward automatically? And have the respondent press a button before the next stimuli appears?

I.e. (The below trial will accept a press on any key, specify the key or keys you want to allow in /validresponse) <trial pause> .... / validresponse = (anyresponse) </trial> with <trial attributeA> ... /timeout = 5000 / branch = [ if (trial.attributeA.response == 0) trial.pause] </trial>
