function KbQueueDemo(deviceIndex)
%% KbQueueDemo([deviceIndex])
% Shows how to detect when the user has pressed a key.
% See KbQueueCheck, KbQueueWait, KbName, KbCheck, KbWait, GetChar, CharAvail.
%
% The KbQueueXXX functions are low-level like KbCheck and KbWait, but, like
% GetChar/CharAvail, they use a queue so that brief events can be captured.
% 
% Like GetChar/CharAvail, KbQueueXXX functions may be used
% asychronously - the OS will pick up the character whether your code
% is currently looking for it or not so long as the queue has already been 
% created(using KbQueueCreate) and started (using KbQueueStart).
%
% Unlike GetChar/CharAvail, KbQueueXXX functions can detect isolated presses
% of modifier keys. Also, the times of key presses should be more accurate than
% those associated with GetChar/CharAvail or with KbCheck and the timebase is
% the same as that returned by GetSecs (unlike GetChar/CharAvail).
%
% The first four demos here are analogous to those in KbDemo.m
